I wonder how the pros who are flying over the Pacific and Atlantic from the KLPGA & LET will fare this week?

According to Ron Sirak, Shiho Oyama got in by being in this week's Rolex Rankings Top 50 (#43).

The local weather report says 50% chance of showers on Wed. & Thu. It looks like they track the locations of the prominent players during practice, including NYC. Yuting Shi The pin flags are going for $25 in the merchandise tent...M. Wie and Hannah O'Sullivan. Sandra Gal and The Rocket visited an Amish farm...Meghan Khang tees off at #3; I assume that's ground under repair in front of her. ****** In other news, Lydia Ko was excited on Twitter about "oppaa" Danny Lee winning the Greenbrier Classic. Hmm...this might be the solution to a comment she made earlier this year ("All the men I meet are either 10 or 40"). But, first, we better process DL through Tina's checklist: Ethnic Korean: check Grew up in NZ: check Callaway gear: check $1.2M payout last Sunday: check

No wonder Sei Young Kim was knocking balls into the cup from other zip codes earlier this year...she had several days to practice those shots. Larry the Looper can turn around and go home...Randall Mell says her replacement is Steve (Rubble) Shellard, who has been on SR Pak's bag. Just a one-week gig...Fusco the Filibuster will be back after the USWO. JY Oh and bag Ryu & Ko

Speaking of Sei Young. Inbee Park has lost more points as far as I am concerned. I have been traveling so I just now watched the final round of the KPMG. In an interview Inbee said, she hated to be beaten by Sei Young lucky shot in the LOTTE Championship. That's the second time that she has said something like that. She also dissed So Young when she beat her in the LET tournament.
I guess she don't remember her hole outs.

Wow - that was really dumb! Way to throw your player off in the biggest tournament of the year. Hmmm -used to caddie for Vijay Singh? Can someone tell me how big a deal this is? I've read that at most LPGA tournaments they provide the hole positions for all four days right away, but the USGA does not do that. If that's the case, it might have been an honest mistake. I read somewhere that he supposedly went into the office, no one was there and might have assumed it was OK to grab photos of the layouts that were SITTING RIGHT OUT IN THE OPEN (ie, no big attempt to make them secret). On the other hand, if this is a big no no, like it is something he darn well should have known was bad, then it's hard to sympathize...

Tony I heard the greens are receptive and soft...and likely not to bake out due to a rainy forecast. Is the course that hilly? Is the USGA showing their usual arrogance with sever roping? You are a Jaye Marie fanboy. Nice find....Mini He....I think she's American Chinese. Hmmmm...not a great pic of The Rocket....try again.

This just in: Randell Mell of GC has reported that Paul Fusco went into a restricted area to take hole location photos cause The Dragon Lady offered him $1000 for the photos. A USWO win for Lydia would result in an incremental $2M+ in endorsements to pad Tina's bank account....lol.
Randell also stated that Paul is fine and just signed a six figure salary with Bill Belichick to inflate/deflate footballs for all Patriot home games.
I'm really surprised Tina hasn't brokered Jason off to SYK for the week for $5000....then Tina can ask a low single cap player/member from Lancaster to VOLUNTEER to loop. This would effectively save Tina $400,000 if Lydia was to win. Lydia won 3 times with a local member loop in Van City, Edmonton & San Fran.

A tragedy in the making? Phil: Too freakin funny. www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/lead-poisoning/basics/treatment/con-20035487"The first step in treating all degrees of lead poisoning is to remove the source of the contamination. If you can't remove lead from your environment, you may at least be able to reduce the likelihood that it will cause problems." I guess The Dragon Lady has never paid a visit to the Mayo clinic.

It can be interpreted as Paul taking pictures of documents of hole locations...or he actually took documents. I'm surprised he accessed a restricted area/office and some USGA gee gee left the documents lying around. The USGA does things differently vs. the LPGA. If the USGA should penalize Paul...unless Whan wants to sanction Paul...Paul with be back on the LPGA looping without recourse. I can hard wait to hear Paul's excuses after the USWO...likely will sound like a Robert Allenby story....kinda like...."aliens made me do it" And if Jennifer Song doesn't make the cut...she could replace Steve on SYK's bag if things don't work out Thurs/Fri.

SYK is a badass....I fully expect this won't affect her and she'll be contending Sun afternoon. It likely wouldn't affect pros like Inbee, Ko.....they know they are the one hitting their shots and not the caddy.
Heck...NYC won with a loop who had never toted in a pro event and NYC was showing him the opes on Tues.
"show up, keep up and shut up"
I am glad Paul is keeping his mouth shut until after the event....but rumors will leak out during the week.
