Smile Candy's legs actually look skinny in the above pic.

A win by Hae Rym Kim(below) will push Shiho Oyama into 51st place on the money list.

You are absolutely right...I blew up the pic and it says 2016 on the banner!  I will delete it...maybe they'll do a current full field pic on Thursday.

The Srixon 965's are pretty forgiving for a blade....the club heads are fairly big and definitely long for a blade...I was able to hit a few balls from a guy who had a set at the range last year....the 765's are really sweet.

I think Godzilla is a MENTAL MIDGET admitting the separation between he and Koepka.
I think Hideki is depressed now that he's married with a kid and can no longer live a life like his idol, GOAT #2 ........and go ******** Japanese porn stars till 430am each night.

-----MC------

45 Kotono Kozuma +7 76 68 79 223 - Total effin' disaster.  She finished tied at 223 with eight other players, but was ranked last because she had the worst Round Three score.

It is highly unlikely that Ai Suzuki will lose the money title this season.  However, she is only three points ahead of Sky Kim for POY.  I don't know how big a separation Kim needs from Suzuki on Sunday to take it back.
