KLPGA: 2017 INSUGROUP The 39 KLPGA Championship

The 2015 winner prefers to play the JLPGA version of the LPGA Championship this week...which has more than 2 1/2 times more money.

What a birdie fest. I thought I was watching the LPGA.

Oddly enough Kyu Baek has earned enough money to keep her card so far.
The worst thing that could have happened to her was going to the LPGA so early.
 I think it was only her second year on the KLPGA.
You could see in the tournament she won that she wasn't mentally ready.

Now Jung Min Lee is a different story.
I actually thought at one time that she and Min Sun Kim, was ready for the LPGA.

Round 1

The setup was too easy, but we have a great leaderboard so far!

Ran Hong...it would be funny if this battered jalopy with the worst-looking swing containing Korean DNA sneaks into the winner's circle, which has happened before.  On her last hole, the par-5 9th, her third shot was some sort of epic ugly pull-shank bullet into the garbage framing the left side of the green.  She immediately dropped another ball and flew the ball over the flag...fortunately, the ball rolled back to the pin within kick-in range and she made a six.

My SBS Golf links didn't work last night.  Rouind Three was suspended, but I think they can break out the dance records now...

No need for the old Hulk to play Evian, since she is already playing it this week.

My streaming link didn't work neither....anyone got another one>
I'm rooting for a Seo win.
