Love Bo Mee to win.
If she doesn't I hope Momoko Ueda wins.
She has always been one of my favorites.

Mainstream USA Media doesn't know much about the players on the LPGA Tour.
Their only concern appears to be the PGA Tour.
Even the Golf Chanel only show them when they are obligated to.
They hardly ever show any replays of tournaments.
Nor do they show any past great rounds, of the LPGA Tour.
Long story short. I don't think they have a clue who Bo Mee is.
Last I checked her lead was two after eight holes.

 It's all my fault...BML needed a five-hole playoff to win! Plus, I slept through my alarm, so I'll have to watch the replay! All I saw was Lee lag a birdie putt from the fringe to within tap-in range, while Narita missed a medium range par putt on #18 (I assume they played #18 over and over).

Congrat to Bo Mee.
They really came after her.
Kudos to Teresa, Narita and Momoko for great final rounds.

You'd think a honey with a gorgeous golf swing would merit some attention.    Phil You sure are a BML fanboy. Have you seen her play? Erika is another of your JLPGA gals too. I like Momoko. Who was the pro who wore a blue Callaway visor in the penultimate group...she is very cute...any other pics of her. |

IMO...it seems like the JLPGA has larger galleries than the KLPGA.
They also have dedicated Japanese network personnel at all the LPGA events taping and interviewing all the Japanese pros after their rds....yet minimal or no Korean coverage teams present.
Yet the Koreans are so CRAZED about golf....I witness it everytime I go play golf.....young, old, female, male Korean golfers.

more pics and video on my blog: Bo-Mee Lee Wins 2015 Golf 5 Ladies Professional Golf Tournament (JLPGA)Bo-Mee Lee The top of the leaderboard at the 2015 Golf 5 Ladies Professional Golf Tournament read like a who’s who of the 2015 LPGA of Japan season. Teresa Lu and Momoko Ueda are both in the top 5 of the money list, player of the year rankings and scoring average. Sun-Ju Ahn is third in scoring. But in the end, via a playoff, it was Bo-Mee Lee (the first and second round leader) who would survive a charge from Misuzu Narita on the final day to win her 4th JLPGA title of the year and 12th of her career.  After missing a birdie putt high on the final hole of regulation, Bo-Mee found herself in a playoff battle with Narita after both finished regulation play at 11-under. Bo-Mee was in serious trouble on the second playoff hole when Misuzu almost chipped in for birdie and had a tap-in par putt. Meanwhile, Bo-Mee had chipped around 15 feet short of the hole (maybe even a few feet longer) but poured in a clutch putt to keep herself alive. Playing the par 4 18th hole over and over, Bo-Mee finally separated herself from Misuzu on the fifth playoff hole when Misuzu found the woods with her tee shot. Narita would miss a long par putt high. With a successful tap-in par, Bo-Mee would capture the tournament and reaffirm her standing as the Queen of the JLPGA for the 2015 season. 1 BO-MEE LEE (-11)   2 MISUZU NARITA (-11)  3 TERESA LU (-10)  4 MOMOKO UEDA (-9)  |

This In Gee was having a truly amazing season pre-US Women's Open, and all the American media acted like she descended from Mars when she won there. So no, they don't have any idea what's happening over in Asia. |
