Nice looking belt for Sung Hyun. The women's tour needs to up its belt game.

One aspect of Inbee's game that gets overshadowed by her putting is her driving. She hit 55 of 56 fairways this week, and averaged 254 yards. How sick is that?
By comparison, The Terminator hit only 39 fairways while averaging 264 yards. Ariya hit 48 with an average of 261.
I don't know about you, but I would gladly hit one more club if I had a preferred lie.

As I review the stats of the most recent ROY races, I think 18majors has a problem with his bet. In a race with only one obvious world-class player on paper, winning the Suggs trophy by 500 points is quite doable:
2016: Dumbo (with a suitcase dent in her back) beat M. Khang by 832. 2014: Ko beat Mirim Lee (no slouch) by 779. 2012: Ryu beat Lexi (no slouch) by 631.
The Terminator has the long game, plus a caddie who should have an encyclopedic knowledge of every green on this tour...YIKES. Also, Nelly has to stay ahead of the other rookies...Sagstrom bombed out twice, but tonyj said she's playing hurt. If she gets straightened out, she might outplay Nelly, but not Park.

Can Park ever be considered a better player than the Surly Swede? Inbee will surpass Annika's total number by next year but won't come close to total LPGA victories. How many majors does she need to win, to be considered greater than Annika?
I think once she gets to 16 majors and passes Berg, she will be considered the greatest player of the modern era even if her total number of wins is way lower. Inbee will get to 16 without any problem. With the exception of AJ, there is no one to challenge her. IGC, Henderson, Thompson and Ko are in deep slumps, Terminator is a fairway missing, KLPGA-bound fraud and Hye C still has a long ways to go.

I didn't want to go higher than 500 points cause I didn't want to insult 18majors. And if 18majors wanted more than 500 points .....then he would admit that Nelly is a POSER vs. PLAYA when compared to the Terminator. OK...let's do a bet. The LOVELY HYP vs. MHL. 2017 full year.....best avg. winnings per event played. Payoff....assuming I'm able to post from Jan-Feb/2018....if I win...you can't post about any black hair yellow skin pro on the LPGA....if I lose...I cannot make a sarcastic or negative post (I know...I know...it will be painful for me) from Jan-Feb. If can't post during the first 2 months....then the bet time frame is Mar-Apr. I think you have an advantage....now that the Rocket has 'INTERESTS' outside the ropes....she won't be quite as focused on golf....whereas papa Lee will shove golf down MHL's throat.....unless she wins 5 majors.

But as the saying goes; if it was easy, EVERYBODY would do it.

Ya, Mr. Mell was rolling out his Wie article today whether she won or not.
He's right, of course, Wie is the biggest star on the LPGA.
It's also done damage to the LPGA brand to show struggling american golfers chopping and hiding behind sunglasses.
It's impossible to fake fun on the golf course. I'm not blaming Wie, PC and SL.
But the GIC would be better off showing golfers happy to be there.

don HSBC is history; it'd be interesting if Michelle won but she didn't. Meanwhile, she'll stay as the most visible LPGA player until somebody dethrones her. To replace Michelle, a teenage rookie with charisma needs to do what Nancy Lopez did in 1978; winning 5 straight tournaments and 9 for the year. Unfortunately, it's too big a job for Nelly.

TGC, who cares about Wie finishing 4th. Candidate for post of the year. Wie = YAWN Just like IGC's fawning over Eldrick every time he says he's going to play an event. The guy can't even get out of bed, sit in a chair and do a press conference at the Genesis...what a freakin joke. Fanboys still think he can compete against the best male golfers in the world...LMAO.....he couldn't even compete on the LPGA nowadays.

If you were a producer at the Golf Channel and you had a mortgage to pay and a kid to go to school, you would do EXACTLY the same thing. As long as they also show a few highlights of the Queen Bee, I have no complaint. As the saying goes, "If you listen to the fans keyboard jockeys you’ll find yourself sitting with them".
