For photos from these tournaments I use Getty Images. Are there any other sites that post tournament photos? I expect the answer is "no" with the LPGA having a tie-in with Getty Images. For KLPGA tournaments I've found Park Jun Seok who posts quite a bit on Instagram.
Do a search on the above sites and you'll get plenty of LPGA pictures, although Icon is not at every tournament.

Lots of coverage here, but 98% of it is Japanese players:

In Gee played OK today, but I don't think 2 under is going to make the cut. And I can't see Six getting to 3 under either, although she still has some time. So, looks like I'm skipping this year! Meanwhile, "poor little Megan" is now three shots up. "Oh, you should root for her (last week) because she might never be in this position again". What-EVER (to quote Ms. Pressel).  |

Yee of no faith after Jeongeun Lee6 felled to one over, she finished with six birdies no bogeys. Which included birdies on seventeen and eighteen. |

Seventeen and eighteen wasn't kind to three Korean golfers.
Sei Young Kim made bogey seventeen miss by one, Hye Jin Choi bogey seventeen eighteen missed by one.
In Gee Chun made double on eighteen to miss by two. They are going to rebound from this funk sooner or later.

MHL ROKs ... but it's such a goat track that it will be hard to improve her CME position. Oh, and she is two-for-two in sand saves this week. 
************
Inky the semi-retiree using a TaylorMade SIM FW today ... I found an online review for it dated March 19, 2020   She was playing with The Old Ko and Korda Two on the broadcast ... Kay C. said this was the first time in years that she was following Inky on the golf course. |

Yee of no faith after Jeongeun Lee6 felled to one over, she finished with six birdies no bogeys. Which included birdies on seventeen and eighteen. I have faith in Six! She has shown repeatedly that she is capable of rounds like today with six birdies after her one bogey and one birdie before it. And she doesn't even need to do it for all four rounds to win a tournament. It doesn't take minus-24 to win most tournaments. It's the rounds full of bogeys that hurt her. Look at the 2021 Evian. On Friday there, she shot 61 with ten birdies and no bogeys. Her round 3 was not quite as good, but still enough to keep her way ahead of the field going into Sunday. Saturday was one eagle, four birdies, and three bogeys. If she'd had a similar round on that Sunday, not a fantastic round but decent, she would have won the major by three strokes. Instead, she opened with one birdie and five bogeys on just the front nine! She squandered what had appeared to be an insurmountable lead in just nine holes. But then, on the back nine, she finished with four birdies, including 16, 17, and 18, and no bogeys. She forced a playoff with Minjee and we all know how that turned out... That's why Lee6 has only a single career win, a major which she won as a rookie. But I do believe that she could do it again... I believe so much...

Somehow I missed that 'AmazingCRE' (was that how it was spelled?) is no longer the title sponsor of this tournament or apparently a sponsor of any kind. It is now merely the "Portland Classic" with a tasteful logo representing the 'Rose City.' There is a skull after 'Amazing' and the 'C' is backwards ... don't you have those characters and symbols on your keyboard?  I haven't seen their hideous commercials in a while ... Paphangkorn still wears that brand. Hideous is an understatement! Terrifying, alarming, horrific, ghastly! Earlier today, I mentioned to my wife that Amazing[skull][backwards]C[/backwards]RE was no longer sponsoring the Portland Classic but had their commercials and signage of a skull all over last year's event and she said, "Why did you have to remind me of those sickening signs!"
It wasn't until the third day of last year's tournament that I realized it was clothing, I think by googling the name! Before that, although I couldn't quite tell what the product actually was, I had been guessing that it was some video game... I'm not making that up, I'm serious!
Couldn't they have done something tasteful like "Cutting edge golf fashions worn by Patty Tavatanakit?" Like the way Skechers uses Brooke to hawk their shoes...

Six with a 66 and so did Jenny Shin. In Gee and her double bogey habit again needs to be addressed. Top of leaderboard has a Solheim Cup feel to it. Of course I like our sisters but I’m a fan of Linn Grant too.

Me too ... she had 252 for her second into the par-5 10th on Friday and hit a high draw* to the right of the stick, pin high. 
* - per an old TV commercial, Lee Westwood hates the high draw.

Big Ryu ... they are right next to the airport.
Dr. Noh is not impressed by this drill (?) by Dr. Doh.
The Ice Cream Princess and Minami Katsu can share a ride to the airport

Looks like I didn't believe in Hot Six like I should have!  Congrats to her, and I will make it out there to give her some support. Alas, with the cut falling to 3 under, Hye Jin missed her first cut since joining the tour.  Also Inky, Sei Young, Hae Ran and In Gee went bye bye. Real bummer, as I wanted to get a look at Hye Jin and Hae Ran in particular; I've never seen either one play. And of course I wanted to see In Gee; maybe I'll bump into her in town. Meanwhile, Hyo Joon Jang and Sung Hyun Park did make the cut. That's the way it is when they set the courses up too easy; you never know if a big star will mess up while a struggling player will suddenly play well. The thing is, they COULD make this course challenging, but clearly chose to dumb it down; I'll see what they did with it Saturday. Six Hwaiting!!! |

Based upon his last posting, our leader is probably following the wrong player ... in case he's wondering how the air got fouled so suddenly, well it's because MHL set the joint on fire 🔥... meanwhile, Getty still has no pics of her this week.

Way to jinx her she had made two bogeys but still just one out of the lead |

Whoever plugged in Six yesterday must have brought an extension cord today for Hyo Joon and MHL as well. Go sisters!
