Message to Ryu from Angela Stanford: Anything you can do, I can do better -
Speaking of Stanford, her lumberjack golf swing gives hope to aging hackers that we might get good at this game before we croak.
************
The New Ko just hit the worst tee ball of her life at the par-3 12th hole ... but I still wouldn't count her out yet. I wonder when her deal with LPGA Golf apparel expires ... what a superb model she is ... a multitude of Asian brands should knock down her door if she becomes a free agent.

Jin Young Ko and Jessica Korda forgot to bring their Golf Game today. I am not too surprised by Jessica, but really surprised Jin Young played so poorly. I didn't watch the Broadcast, but I bet the Golf Channel people are still jumping up and down. Their I like you better than everybody else sneaked in for the win. Ok to the really good news about So Yeon Ryu and Jeongeun Lee6. They both played their best Tournament of the year. So Yeon Ryu three bogeys two birdies front nine and four birdies clean back nine. I say again four birdies clean back nine, I LIKE. So a tie for fifth place is really great. Jeongeun Lee6 had a similar front nine two birdies one bogey. She had five birdies and one bogey on the back nine. The bogey on eighteen caused her a fifth place tie. But it is great that she had a solo sixth place. Not sharing with anyone, mine all mine. Gabriela Ruffels didn't play that bad with Inbee Park had an even par round. However Muni Hee plus eleven couldn't find the Golf Course. A Lim Kim had somewhat of a bounce back round. Four birdies and an eagle, but had a double on sixteen and bogey on seventeen. She did rebound with a birdie on eighteen.

Just want to add that Jin Young showed a world of class on the 18th hole. About 5 seconds after Brooke sunk the winning put...she emptied the water bottle on her. I always like to see when it's not just players from the same country that get involved like that.

Ok I would like to see a player from the US empty a bottle on a Korean winner. The only ones that I can think of are the Korda sisters that would do it. Brooke Henderson would also do it but she is from Canada.

Jin Young and Brooke are bible study BFFs. They do breakfast sessions together on the road.
Next time Jin Young should ask Brooke exactly how she got her prayers answered.
Maybe she got divine guidance to slow-play her playing partners?

Round 4 I'll admit I lost interest once Jin Young started making dumb mistakes on the 11th and 12th. It just had the feeling that she was going to let this one get away. Make no mistake, this was more Jin Young handing the trophy to her friend than anything else; when you're number one in the world and start the day with a three-shot lead over the eventual winner, you have to do better than a +1 round. Whatever, the other three rounds were really good, and she still walked away with a t-3, which should solidify her #1 status for the moment. Did they ever call a slow play penalty? Or do they not do that when their favorite might be the culprit? It was pretty brazen at any rate. I was happier getting to see Lee 6 for what seems like the first time this year. AT LAST she seems to be returning to form. Loved her track suit (?), too. Eager to see her really make a run at that final Olympic spot. Ditto So Yeon, who played even better this week. They both have a great chance of unseating Hyo Joo, but they need as many top fives as they can manage. This season has been pretty dull so far; we definitely need some Seoul Sisters fireworks in the next few weeks. Sisters HWAITING!

If I didn't know better, I might think Jin Young gave it to her bible buddy on purpose. Sheesh.
I was losing it a little at how slow Brooke is.. she wouldn't even pull a club or give her next shot any consideration until everyone else was done and waiting on her, Just an annoying way to play.

Nice shot by So Yeon. I must have been dozing when she hit this one! Shot of the Week?

The news I got was on Twitter sounded like Ko wanted Brooke to pick up the pace. The tour needs more drama like that.

Shot of the Week?In recent weeks, GC has given broadcast tryouts to Pressel and Lang (who sounded like she was falling asleep) when the obvious choice is to bring So Yeon on board as a commentator. She's already doing her own GC-style commentary on-course ("Shot of the Week!"). She's a natural for the job whenever she decides to retire.

Haven't been this gutted by a SS shortfall in a while. I cannot help but suspect Jin Young of subconsciously holding back, she and Brooke are so sweet on each other, and Brooke was overdue for a win.

Surprisingly a little shade thrown on Henderson in this exchange: Jin Young hit tee shot before Henderson reached the teeThere is definitely a double standard at play here. While I hate to see an event decided by slow play penalties/warnings, those things have DEFINITELY affected the Sisters in the past. I recall one event where Jiyai Shin and company were jogging to their next shots to get back into position after a warning; and I think she was trying to close out the event IIRC. If Henderson isn't motivated to play faster in a similar way, that's an unfair advantage.

Henderson know that the Golf Chanel will always focus on her more than the other Golfers. So she is just trying to maximize the on Camera time for her fans back home.

If anyone thinks this can't happen among like-minded individuals, I recall an interview from many years ago where Bam Bam said she didn't talk to Stanford anymore. I don't know if their differences were ever patched up.
Charlotta S. was once on Mannika's s*** list, but that was resolved later.
