I never did understand that bet about Nasa and Megan. Didn't Megan start a year earlier on the LPGA? Her story I thought was very compelling. And Nasa's is too.

I'll say this, not that anyone asked. They will pronounce Nasa more correctly than Sung Hyun. And #2, the Japan UL team is a lot stronger than they're given credit for. Nasa is great, Ai can be if she shakes the rust off and her wrist is well, after all she's known as one of the best putters in Japan, and we saw what Higa can do at the Ricoh Open, and I've watched Misuzu enough to know she's pretty good herself, so watch out for Japan.
I thought Suzuki was going to play this week, but did not...she hasn't teed it up in Japan since July 8. Japan might be better off replacing her with Momoko Ueda...Ai seems to shrivel up against the Major Leaguers...Momoko has been around the block a few times with them and is less likely to gag.

Round 3 I predict that the only way Henderson is losing is if she stumbles before the broadcast starts. If she's in the lead at that point, she's winning for sure. I kind of found today a bit boring since most of my faves were already done. It was fun seeing Jin Young doing well, although she didn't fire on all cylinders during the broadcast. Fingers crossed she makes a massive run tomorrow, because she or Amy are the two names on this leaderboard I would really love to see win, and Amy is more likely to miss when it counts. (Hey, if Minjee or Su Oh pulls it off, that would be great, too!). Sung Hyun is actually in her favorite final day position, and has a good chance to become the first player in some time to win while #1. However, I have a feeling that she is going to have a bad final day. Another mediocre week for In Gee alas. I hope she can salvage some pride by shooting a 65 Sunday, but a 70 is more likely. This tournament has been pretty good to the Koreans over the year; it would be fantastic to see them grab a surprise win for once this year. Sisters Hwaiting!!!

Nothing new for In Gee, she hit all five greens but is only -1 through 5. She failed to birdie either par 5 12th or 14th.
Putts per GIR is atrocious yesterday and today; sadly that's has been her only strength recently.
She would've done well today if she stays even or under par.

Jessica opened with a double on 10th; something is wrong with her physically.
Starting on Thursday from 10th, she's six under in eight holes; this looks like a different player.

Only Tigers is as treasured and beloved singularly as Brooke Henderson is here in Canada.
Michelle, Lexi and Paula are beloved in the US, but not to the extent of Brooke; In Gee is as treasured and beloved in Korea, but she's to share the attention with Sung Hyun Park.

Jin Young Ko played one of her worst rounds as a LPGA member; she is +3 after 11.
Her putts wouldn't drop; she's 22 putts in 11 holes.
