...but MHL outscored Watanabe and Old Mike is still employed.  Classic how these LPGA pros treat the journeymen loops like trash and they'll go running back to them....lol. I guess MHL realizes that tenured Old Mike knows how to act like a SLAVE to "show up, keep up and shut up"...what really does a 20 something gal and a 69 year old guy have in common? I just sense that MHL seems moody and high maintenance....she certainly doesn't have the personality of HYP, SYR or Sky. FWIW....Benji's not looping...dad's on Lexi bag. |

Probably not that popular to say this here but I gotta root against the Seoul Sisters at the top...well, maybe "against" is the wrong way to say it...but I've brought this up before...I am figuratively dying for one official Thai win on tour so I have to go with Waen...sure, there are good stories surrounding the Sisters at the top but it would be another win in a seemingly endless parade of Korean winners...normally, I'd be on board for that...not this time...I fear Waen will fade in the final round...not out of disbelief so much as the fact that I've never seen a Thai win before...in fact what I've seen is a soul crushing collapse on the verge of victory by Ariya...so until I see it actually happen it won't seem realistic...

I predict Ha Neul Kim will accept 2016 LPGA membership if she wins. Round 3 coverage by JTBC Golf will begin on Sunday at 6:15 PM local time (first replay is at 11 PM). Early Round 3 pix: This is a new driver for Ha Na Jang...she had it during the KEB Hana Bank...it's all neon yellow on top...but the Japanese website for Honma has no picture of it.   Mi Hyang Lee and Bo Mee Lee   Teresa Lu and HJ Kim   Lexi, D. Kang, and C. Kim    |

Great leaderboard with 9 holes to go. Let's see if Tseng or Shin remember they used to be champions.

Fairy tale ending. Perfect. I love Big Mama. I believe she has never given a shot to try to get to the big league. Let's see what she will do this time. I have problem with players like her, Bo Mee Lee , etc, cleaning up in the minors, no doubt making a comfortable living, but never attempt to compete with the best. As a world class athlete, how can u not aspire to measure yourself against the best? |

Fairy tale ending. Perfect. I love Big Mama. I believe she has never given a shot to try to get to the big league. Let's see what she will do this time. Not true. She did enter LPGA Q-School in 2008, but was forced out due to an injury (in fact, she won her sectional that year, beating Michelle Wie AND Stacy Lewis). Then the Bivens crash happened, and the following year, she decided it would be a better move financially to go play in Japan. She made it through Japan's Q-School in 2009, and in 2010, she won her very first event on tour, beating Jiyai Shin and Inbee Park among others. During her rookie season, she had a stretch of ten straight top fives (including three wins), and became the first Korean to ever lead the JLPGA money list. She has never looked back. Given her success in Japan, I'm not positive she will take the card; she is a 19-time winner on the JLPGA, and probably has a lot of incentive to stay. But I know Ji Hee Lee wouldn't have taken it. She is a lifer in Japan.  It was a great week for Jiyai Shin even though she didn't win it, and Hyo Joo managed to rally for a top ten. Ha Neul only shot a 72, but she really did have a great first two days, so all in all, it was still a quality performance for her.  But I am thrilled that Sun Ju Ahn got her tour card! If it couldn't be Ha Neul or Jiyai, she would have been my next choice. If she comes over, I look forward to seeing what she can do against In Gee all year!   PS - the Korean press is saying that Sei Young Kim has clinched Rookie of the Year. With two events to go? Congrats to her if true! |

Here's what Ha Neul's outfit looked like without the jacket:   Not a bad payday for Big Mama!  Give her a bath!  |

She won't be coming to America, sorry to say.
According to her interview on the JLPGA website and in her own words " I plan to retire at 30 and live a normal life being married with kids"
A few records she has set this week
Bogie free 54 holes
Quickest player to win 20 times in 147 starts
Quickest player to earn 700 million yen in 147 starts
