How far away is this event for you?...I'd luv to attend a Symetra event but none in the PNW...though Symetra is HQ's in the Seattle area.
Who is Screaming Eagle?

Brockton is a post industrial city of 93,000 about 25 miles/40km south of Boston and about an hour from my home in central Massachusetts. It is the hometown of champion boxers Rocky Marciano and Marvin Hagler, so the sports teams of the city's high school, among the more successful in the Commonwealth, are called the Boxers. W.B. Mason, a regional office supply distributor, is headquartered in Brockton.

The week figures to be a logistical headache as the WGAM Amateur Championship (our state's women's amateur) will be conducted at Thorny Lea during the first part of the week from 10-13 August, not leaving the Symetra Tour regulars much of a window to practice. The winner gets an exemption into the W.B. Mason field, which already includes (via a sponsor exemption) 17 year old Megan Khang of nearby Rockland, low amateur at last month's US Women's Open. Khang's 72 hole score in Lancaster of 285 was two strokes off the record low score at the Open by an amateur set in 1999 by GRACE PARK.

From my observations, Jimin Kang is another pro that loves the camera....otherwise she does translate that personality in and outside the ropes when the spotlight is not on her.

A regular on WRX is best friends with Megan's dad.
I think Megan might follow in Brooke's footsteps.
I think Megan could be a better player....but finances restricts her potential practice and tournament time.
When I saw Brooke in 2012/2013 I'd never thought she'd play to her current level....I guess both might be late bloomers at 17 & 18....lol.

Megan Khang just missed out on medalist honors at Q-school Stage One this past weekend at Rancho Mirage, so she comes into this week in Brockton with some momentum.rts.symetrascoring.com/QSchool/Kevin

Money is a barrier for MK to play the Am...and that's a shame.
She isn't lucky enough to have rich parents or country golf federation funding like Lydia, Brooke, etc.

That's how they do it in New Zealand. You are too freaking funny. So you mean you believe The Dragon Lady when she says she didn't know how $50,000 got mysteriously deposited into her personal bank account....I wonder if S. Korea will send the bank manager to N. Korea to work in the cabbage fields.  |

Megan is in the 1:44pm group while Jimin Kang is in the 9:53am group, Annie Park tees off at 8:47am and Vicky Hurst goes out at 12:49pm. No precipitation is expected all weekend with high temperatures ranging from 86-91F/30-33C over the three days and a slight breeze out of the southwest.

Hopefully, Jimin will start to play more events.
She has dropped out of the top ten money list.
Not far, she is now eleventh.
She has played just over half of the tournaments.
She can't hope for any help from Mike.
It only reserved for certain people.

 Another late night at work made me too tired to make it out to Brockton. Between the computer glitch at an FAA facility in Virginia and the same weather that curtailed play on Saturday lots of flights were delayed. It would have been fun seeing Vicky win for the first time in seven years. Megan Khang finished T17, ten shots back.www.symetratour.com/golf/news/2015/8/wb-mason-final-round-news-and-notes.aspx |

Ah well; if Screaming Eagle is in contention a week from Sunday I may still go.
