I'll caddy for Lydia. I wont read her putts. But I can help her. After Tina fires me. I'll try not to cry. My handicapping would put you at an odds on favorite to CRY! I'm not sure if I'd rather face Rhonda Rousey or The Dragon Lady in the cage...at least I've developed a stage name for her if she should ever decide to be a UFC member....a tag team with Heather Cho would make them an UNBEATABLE duo!  |

It seems like all the great Sister action came in the morning round, with Hyo Joo, So Yeon and Ha Na Jang shooting 68s. Alas, by the end of the day, the top ten was mostly devoid of Sisters. This course is weird. There are years where the Sisters dominate, and other years where there are none on the leaderboard. Hopefully those three I mentioned can make it interesting! I'm especially hoping So Yeon gets into the hunt. She had this one in the bag last year. Ernst had just finished coughing up two strokes, Ryu was tied for the lead with three to play, and she was coming off a win in Canada. She proceeded to really struggle, barely making par on 17, then on 18 hitting a terrible drive, then dunking it in the water. All she needed was a par for the playoff! I'm only now getting over it!  Time for payback. GO SO YEON! I did enjoy the Danielle Kang and her three caddies bit. You and I, along with many others have been to Columbia Edgewater...it's crazy how the gals are tearing up the course. I just love the event logistics and other Portland amenities and especially the NO SALES TAX...it's a shame it's a 8 hr journey (border too) for me. Ya...SYR really choked it up on 18 last year....and Inky should have putted from the fringe vs. chipping. What 3 caddie thing are you talking about? |

So they are not only giving Brooke Henderson max sponsors exemptions, they're giving her sister exemptions now, too? Ranked 707th in the world? She's really that big an attraction? (Checking the Rolex site, by my count there are 203 Korean golfers higher ranked than that, the vast majority of whom have never gotten a sponsors exemption!) Huh...more Merican racism? :DI thought the Mericans only hated the Koreans...now the Canucks too? Brooke won a Cdn event earlier.....now she doesn't have to use her CP CWO invite and can save her last invite if she should get one for the Yokohoma. What........you mean inviting the 707th ranked pro doesn't make sense???....lol....hey Brittany has blonde hair!!! I wonder if we'll see Cheyenne Woods' sister as an invite soon? Let's face it...the only Portland invite in perpetuity should be awarded to Dina Ammacapane.  www.oregonlive.com/sports/oregonian/john_canzano/index.ssf/2011/08/canzano_lpgas_dina_ammaccapane.html |

That was Brooke. Sorry. |

Not to sure why they are so fascinated by the Hendersons. I suppose Brooke Henderson is a fairly good golfer. However there are a lot of good golfers out there, that doesn't get star treatment like her.
Jimin Kang is a former winner on the LPGA Tour.
After recovering from her injury and winning on the Symetra Tour. I do not recall her getting one sponsor invite.

If you read a little bit about the history of Oregon, you'd realize it is pretty much ground zero for racial intolerance in the United States. I am shocked that the Koreans and Cheyenne Woods are even allowed on the course.

SoYeonFan:
Ding-Ding-Ding! We have a winner for understatement of the year!!! I called Brooke "Canada's Lexi" earlier this year and I saw nothing at Lancaster CC that would change my mind. People, get over your Brookephobia.
As for Brittany, yeah, that invite was a gift, but who cares. She's definitely the cuter of the two, although she was soaked in sweat while lugging Brooke's bag at the USWO.
BTW, the CP CWO currently has 133 qualified players. They'll add 16 sponsor invites, 4 qualifiers, 2 players from the Cambia top-ten, and the Cambia winner. Obviously, the Cambia invites will be adjusted if they're already qualified.

Ha ha, I forgot about that...If the little guy couldn't keep up, she could have prodded him with lit cigarettes.

I'd forgotten Dina and Danielle even existed. As ugly on the inside as the outside. Those two wouldn't be able to cash a paycheck on the modern tour.

pHILKNJ.
I bow to you and your wonder girl Henderson.
She will lead the LPGA in wins next year and jump to number one.
She will lead the LPGA to be more popular, than the PGA.
How could I ever doubted her, since you predicted she will be the next Lexi

SeoYeonFan: Thanks!!!!  How can Brooke be #1 when Lexi has never reached #1? Brooke goes after every shot 110% like Lexi, but she also runs hot and cold like Lexi. Jenny Shin is one shot back at -9 after ten holes and is getting almost no TV coverage.   |

I am shocked that the Koreans and Cheyenne Woods are even allowed on the course. Ya....I've read that Oregon is full of rednecks and just did a quick Google on racism in Oregon and glanced at a few articles. Hmmmm...to my surprise there's an article that Portland might be the most racist city in the US. I've been to Portland and the Oregon coast and have never felt any racism...always enjoyed our time in Oregon. My Caucasian wife and I (Chinese) have vacationed in the south....Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arizona and have never felt any racism...though I've witnessed racism against the blacks down there. The only racist incident in the US I've encountered was near the Canadian border in Bellingham, WA. We were returning from a couples golf trip on the Oregon coast and I went to the restroom and returning to our table in the Olive Garden...I stopped in the bar lounge to watch some sports on TV....the bartender said..."Ch*nk"...I turned around and said..."Did you say something to me"....he then cowered into the kitchen. |

She's definitely the cuter of the two, although she was soaked in sweat while lugging Brooke's bag at the USWO. Luckily for you Mericans...CBC & TSN in Canada have dropped their coverage on the CWO....so you won't yawn for 3 hours watching coverage of the dozen+ Canadian player invites shooting 77 to 81. GC is now producing the event...but they'll be fawning over Brooke especially if MW is absent wrapped up in KT tape. We did see some nice ball striking and scrambling from Brooke today. Ya.....Brittany is the cuter sibling...I didn't realize that Brittany is 7 years older than Brooke. Seems like the family friend Buck?? is back on Brooke's bag....IMO....Dad should stick with Brittany and her golf career and let Buck act as a travel guardian and loop for Brooke. I don't think Brittany should loop for Brooke ever again....Brittany is a pro golfer...not a caddie...we never saw Charlotta looping for Annika. Hopefully Brooke stays away from any Lead Poisoning. |

Ha ha, I forgot about that...If the little guy couldn't keep up, she could have prodded him with lit cigarettes. Yup....heavy smoker. I was at Pumpkin Ridge in 2010 and can't remember rumors going around during the week of the incident....I also don't think I learned of Juli's club aid DQ incident during the week neither. All I remember was this was one on the worst weekends for me at a LPGA event....95% of my favs never made the cut. |

So will HYK take over SYK after the CWO for ROY race?
The Mini Rocket makes the cut...while The Rocket continues to struggle...I wonder which Korean HYP will loop for this weekend?

mr3putt: Jennifer Kirby is doing better than that this week, but she's blowing it...three bogeys on the back nine have put her one stroke below the cut line...two holes left to play...needs to pick up a stroke on 17 or 18 because she is a blonde.  |

Time for payback. GO SO YEON!
