Bo Mee can change anything that she like to.
I would like either one of them to win.
However I think Bo Mee is playing to strong right now.

I sure wish that she would play the ANA next year.

I think it is great she doesn't care about the LPGA or LET. I think over time, fewer and fewer Korean players will bother playing trying for an LPGA membership. With endorsement income she probably makes more money than Inbee.

The JLPGA is in action during the playing of the ANA, so BML won't play it, but there could be two exceptions:

* She joins the LPGA
* She gets sponsored by ANA

Regarding the second point, I don't know the current status of her endorsement deals. I don't see any available real estate on her clothing...but if any space opens up in the off-season, the price will be high.

BTW, I figured out what isai means on her tops. It's a type of LG smart phone.

The first group tees off in two minutes.

Just call me Swami...after some early jockeying, it's Bo Mee Lee and Teresa Lu tied at the top at -6 after five holes. That's enough, no more peaking at this scoreboard.

Great to see Sky Kim in her Sunday blues when she's competitive (for a change)

I agree, I don't see this happening at all.

From what i can tell her endorsements are the following Coca-Cola, Masters Golf Club, Honma Golf, Le Coq Sportif, LG & Golfzon.

I think it's good that she stays where she is really liked.
It's not about the money or prestige.
I just want to watch her in person once or twice or three times.

Only one out three beers today (and from completely out of left field, Shin Ae Ahn)...not the greatest surprise that Mi Hyang got steamrolled in France, but Bo Mee had a really good chance to nail this one down, but it wasn't to be. She just couldn't get her irons close to the pins on the last six holes. Lu is probably playing the best golf of her life...Lee leads in Points and Money, but Lu still leads in Scoring Average. Should be great to see these two in a death struggle all the way to the end of November.

Lu, Lee, and Miki Sakai (her English name used to be Miki Saiki)

Congratulation to Teresa for winning the other real Major.
The other one being the KLPGA Major.
I really have to find a way to watch the JLPGA.
Bo Me fell a little short, but that's just fine.
Teresa's decision to turn down the LPGA card is working great for her.
I hope it continue.

more pics and video on my blog: Teresa Lu Wins 2015 Konica Minolta Cup (JLPGA Major)

Teresa Lu

With Bo-Mee Lee winning the last two LPGA of Japan events, her 3rd and 4th wins of the 2015 season, I was just about ready to call it an early wrap for JLPGA Player of the Year. Well…hold that order, please. Teresa Lu captured her 4th JLPGA win of the 2015 season at the 48th LPGA Championship Konica Minolta Cup with a four round 7-under overall score, 2 shots clear of Momoko Ueda and Miki Sakai. Bo-Mee Lee finished 3 shots back at 4-under. Teresa almost gave it back near the end of the fourth round. She went up two shots with a birdie on 16 but admitted she was so excited that she lost her concentration on the 17th tee. The result? She found the pond with her tee shot. She was able to get up and down for only a bogey when it could have been much worse. A final hole birdie on 18 sealed the deal for Teresa’s 8th career JLPGA win and 3rd JLPGA Major. In fact, she’s won the Japan Women’s Open, the Ricoh Cup and the Konica Minolta Cup. She needs only the Salonpas Cup to complete the JLPGA Career Grand Slam. She will have to wait until next May for another chance to win that event. With the Konica Minolta Cup victory, Teresa earns 25.2 million Japanese Yen (just shy of $209,000 USD). For the season, Lu has collected 112,248,200 Japanese Yen (a little over $947,000 USD). Teresa also leads the JLPGA in scoring average at 69.95. She still trails Bo-Mee Lee in prizemoney and Player of the Year, but with a lot of tournaments still to play in the JLPGA season, including two Majors…the race for the top spots isn’t finished yet.
