LPGA: 2015 ISPS Women's Australian Open

I was totally wrong about Lydia and I apologize. She is fantastic and the best thing to happen to the tour in a long time. She really is wise beyond her years. She totally gets that this is the best course the women will play all year although Turnberry is pretty nice. Perhaps this will end up being the 6th major or 5th major if they decide to shut down the ANA.

LMAO!!!

Actually, So Yeon did make the cut, although she is not going to look back fondly on this result I imagine.

The leaderboard is not a good one for the Koreans after a great start for the year. But props to Ha Na Jang for a great start to her week! I wish she would have been in the broadcast window yesterday, but hopefully we'll be seeing a lot of her this weekend. Go Ha Na!



Also a nice day for Amy Yang, and she grew up in Australia, so hopefully she can feed on her memories to help her this weekend.

Unfortunately, Kwak and Il Hee Lee both shot in the 80s and plunged down the leaderboard, but Mi Hyang Lee is still five back and possibly in position to be a factor.

Q Baek did manage to shoot her first under-par round of the season, a 1 under par 72, and is now sitting at +3, tied for 35th. She isn't going to win, but I hope she can build on this and start to be more of a factor in the coming months.  Just four shots out of a top ten at the moment!

So Yeon shot a 1 over par and still made the cut T-59th; Mini-Rocket Ju Young Park also is at that total.



Some other gals who could still be a factor are Minjee Lee at +1 (Su Oh missed the cut) and Chella Choi also at +1.



Weirdly, they are playing twosomes tomorrow, not threesomes. Any idea why? Anyway, Ha Na is in the final group with Ko, and Jutanugarn is paired with Hull. Should be an interesting third round. GO SISTERS!!!

I think they play 3somes when weather or daylight is a issue....so I don't think they have daylight issues down under.

Ilhee Lee has yet to shoot a round in the 70's this week - 68-82-69

Man, I have not been enjoying this tournament. Well, things have gone pretty well so far this year, so I can't complain.

I'll confess I gave up watching round three after Jang's meltdown on that one hole. I have never seen her toss a club before; she must have been incredibly frustrated. Although I still think she has a chance for a good finish, I think the few bad holes she had at the end of round three finished her for this week unfortunately, even though she is still theoretically within range.

The pluses: Amy Yang has played well; it felt like she left several putts out there today or she would have been in the lead. If she can get through the first few holes without losing any ground, I think her nerves will calm and she has a chance. She isn't a great closer by any means; but she is good on tough courses, and with her skill she is well overdue a win or two. GO AMY!

Shout out to Q Baek, who managed to break her best round as an LPGA member for the second straight day. She shot a 71, 2 under, and moved into the top 20. She has no chance of winning, but I'm hoping she can rally to a top ten and put herself onto the radar of the Rookie race.

So Yeon also shot a 71 to move to 3 over, while there are a gaggle of Sisters who could manage top 20s or top 10s with good days tomorrow. NYC, Chella, Minjee, Il Hee, etc.

Good luck to the Sisters. Fighting!

It will get dark about 7:30 pm, its coming up to the autumn time in Australia but they have no twilight light we have in the UK. Amy is a good bet for tomorrow.
