Sky72 was used for LPGA KEB Hanabank (cosponsored w KLPGA) for many years
Blackstone was used last year by KLPGA, if I recall correctly
And this Rainbow Hills actually looks pretty tough (except for those Parks!) - some gorgeous views too

I didn't get to watch the Broadcast.
I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it because Hee Jeong Lim had a bad day.
Hopefully she can rebound with a great Final Round.

Gonna be fascinating - Watching yesterday, seems like they were not interacting with each other much at all. Both really focused. I was wondering how friendly they are with each other...seemed to be acting like rivals more than friends. Hyun Kyung maybe has a bit more motivation, since she's been being beaten more often lately? But then Min Ji really wants a major, and to continue her domination of the league.
I'm torn as a fan - like both, although maybe I'd like to see Minji add to this amazing season.

The Winning Korean team at the 2016 Women's World Championship: Min Ji Park, Hye Jin Choi and Hyun Kyung Park. Pretty stacked team, wouldn't you say? Their winning total, 29 under, was 21 strokes better than second place Switzerland. And now they are all big stars on the KLPGA!  |

Hyun Kyung overshot the green on 15. Min Ji stuffed it to within 4 feet. It was a must-make par save for Hyun Kyung, and she did it, draining an eight footer for par. But now Min Ji has taken a one shot lead.

Woh, crazy par 5 16th! Min Ji missed the green slightly, HK had a 12 footer for birdie, but left it short. But then MJ MISSED a short par save. Wow, didn't see that coming, she's 87% in par saves this week. Back to a tie.

18th hole drama. Hyun Kyung hit a terrible drive and had to punch out. Min Ji hit a good drive, then a perfect iron to about four feet. I can't see Hyun Kyung pulling this one out barring a miracle. What a decisive hole for Min Ji!
[EDIT]: Hyun Kyung's third is still about ten feet away from the hole. Must-make putt coming up!

Amazing performance from Min Ji, who definitely didn't have her A game going early. Putting kept her in it, them she stuck some close at the end. How many more will she get this year?

Hyun Kyung missed the par save, Min Ji made the birdie, and the win is hers again. Congrats to her, that was one amazing tournament!
Man, coming into this final hole Hyun Kyung had a great chance to walk off with the title. 9 out of ten years, her score easily wins this. She finished 8 shots ahead of third place. But this was the year when it wasn't enough.
I didn't really have a horse in this race, I'm not a big fan of either lady, but as this week went on I really grew to admire Hyun Kyung's moxie as the one player who was able to stand up to Min Ji. I wonder how much losing twice to Min Ji on the final hole is going to mess with her mind? I hope she realizes that she did something really special herself this week, and will take that confidence into the remainder of the season!

Congratulation to Min Ji Park for her fifth win this year.
She started slow with two early bogeys, but was solid the rest of the way.
Not a fan of Hyun Kyung Park, but my hat off to her for a great Tournament also.
Hee Jeong Lim played good after one birdie and three bogeys the first five holes.
A top four in a Major is great, but she needs to start competing more.
Her skill set is good enough where she should do better than an occasional top five or ten.
Kudos, to Jung Min Lee for keeping her third place position.
She is starting to play better of late.

The amateur You Min Hwang (I keep call her Human Hwang) also had a fantastic event.
Grant also noticed what's going on (by the way, it's five wins in nine starts; Min Ji didn't play the 10th event).
