Round 4
Congrats to Vu, but for me the entire story is Jin Young's great week. She hit 60/72 GIR, didn't have a bad round all week, and finished with a 64. The last time she had a top ten was at the Evian last year, and the last time she beat this week's t-6th finish was at the US Women's Open in June. It's too bad you have to be ridiculously under par to have any chance to win here, as her early rust cost her a chance to contend. But boy, this is some great stuff. Her biggest demon has been her long game, and it sure looked good this week. In fact, it was really her putting that seemed to cost her. I'm cautiously optimistic we can see her get back on the winning trail soon.
In Gee managed one of her typical "off-week" finishes, a t-27th. Hoping for a better start to her week next week.
Hye Jin and Sei Young were not able to get going on Sunday, but had decent starts to their years, t-27th and t-20th. Hyo Joo nabbed a second top ten for the Koreans, a t-10th, although she, too, was cold on Sunday.
Kind of a drag that Hae Ran already has to play catch up in the rookie race before she's even had a chance to play an event, but it's a marathon, not a sprint, and based on their respective records, I'd still put my money on her over the Thai gal who finished second here on a home country track.
Hwaiting!

Hyo Joo nabbed a second top ten for the Koreans, a t-10th, although she, too, was cold on Sunday. Hwaiting! I watched the last two hours of the Tournament. On par five eighteen Hyo Joo Kim was minus seventeen and out drove Lydia Ko. Lydia went for the green in two and made birdie. But Hyo Joo decided to lay up and hit the layup into a bunker. Making a long story short she had a problem from the bunker and made double bogey. Dropped from tied for fourth to a tie for tenth. Sometimes you just have to say, "rubber duck" and go for it. |

I just figured they would blow off the Koreans on Sunday so I didn't watch. Too bad about her finish, but sounds like she played well overall, which means all four of the (likely) Korean International Crown gals had at least OK weeks, with two getting top tens. |

That is an interesting point because I was thinking the same thing when Hyo Joo played 18. What surprised me even more was that Vu layed up on 18 with a one shot lead. She was hoping Vongtaveelap wouldn't birdie and force a playoff. Vu could have easily reached it in two....she won so nobody will question it, but like you said sometimes you have to go for it. |

Hyo Joo doesn't go for the green in two very often, so perhaps she isn't confident about hitting woods off the deck? Obviously, it didn't pay off for her, but normally she would probably lay up to a great position to put her iron close and walk off with a birdie or, at worst, par. She was playing percentages and it probably made sense to her in that case.

Not sure what her status on the LPGA is currently, but former WAPL champ Brianna Do is also of Vietnamese descent. |
