Grant, Grant, Grant... Not you, too?

Hye Jin has more wins than Furue, more post season hardware, and a better finish at a Major ... and is ignored in the 'powerful' list, as was Na Rin An. They hyped Wie's missed cut on the PGA her entire life and they've already forgotten that Penguin came within a missed tee shot of winning the tour's biggest prize as a high schooler (4 years ago).
Yeah, but Frida Kinhult won the year-end Symetra Tour Championship in 2020. Hey, EKP is "2-time Euro Solheim" ... that plus fifty cents will get you a cup of coffee.

If you think Cyborg and An received short shrift, some of the blame can be put on their fellow KLPGAers. Just two big names in Q-Series? No Minjee Park, no Eee Da Yeon, no Eee Ga Young, no Lim, no Kim2, no Hulk ... where was the invasion that keeps Jan S. awake at night? There is strength in numbers! Along that line, here's a paragraph from The Archives when I was at the 2010 Shoprite pro-am:
Reunited with Shi Hyun’s group a couple of times and took a sweet picture of her sitting on a covered bench between holes. Likewise, I reconnected with Peanut at the 9th or 18th tee box. Her Aussie caddie quoted JY Shin’s caddie (Dean Herden) as saying he thinks there could be 20+ Koreans trying out for the next LPGA Q-school. While she waited, Eunjung Yi visited and offered her some munchies from a bag with Korean and English writing. For you gearheads, Yi uses Maruman Conductor irons.
Yeah, let's see the GIC go into a tizzy when the entire upper echelon of the KLPGA empties out into the next LPGA Q-School ... that's a lot of extra research and work they'll have to do.
