Great stuff, Tony!
2015 rookies had six victories this past season and 53 top tens both led by Sei Young Kim with 3 and 11 respectively.
The only tournaments that failed to have a rookie finish in the top ten were the Texas Shootout and the KEB Hana Bank. Strictly speaking add the US Women's Open. Brooke Henderson was not yet formally a rookie.

Tony I think in the new year you should rid your blog of the pictures of Wiesy and The Pink Diva (or are you being extorted by BJ and Mr. Studley?) and replace them with pictures of the 'fake' Korean and Winbee.  It would be like a men's tour blog with pictures of Paul Casey and TK Kim (who???) instead of Spieth, Jason Day or Rory. |

Park Ju Young just acquired KLPGA card last month. So I believe she will not be entering any LPGA events unless she is invited(?).

At least she knows where her game belongs...unlike other pros who unrealistically think they have the game to play on the LPGA. Oh ya....HYP & JYP get their good looks from an attractive mom. |

Tony...you could post a picture of Paige Spiranac (who???) on your site. The boys on WRX are slathering over her....just like Muni He lit up your site.  |

For the love of God, Tony, don't post any photos of that Paige person if you want to maintain any journalistic integrity.  I was incredulous that that birdcage liner Golf Digest (or was it Golf Magazine?) actually had an article profiling this person in a recent issue. As far as I can tell, she has next to no claim as an actual golfer of any talent whatsoever, but she's really good at posing in provocative clothes, so I guess she merits an article (  ). Edit: I also just remembered that she was offered a spot at the Dubai Ladies Masters on the LET. That's a gigantic step down from the days Inky or Michelle Wie got those offers.  |

Paige was captain for her golf team at San Diego State University....I'm guessing she's a 1 to a 3 handicapper....therefore she would slaughter 98% of the weekend hackers on the muni's. Happy....I guess your preference is for golf sensation, Paulina Gretzky. How many Golf Digest mags did you buy so at your next PGA tour event when you follow Dustin.....you can get Paulina to autograph them.  |

I like to refer to Paulina Gretsky as "human cocaine".

It's an unusual year when even one of the five best college golfers comes on tour and manages to make any kind of splash at all. For every Alison Lee, you have several Amanda Blumenhursts. What Ms. Spirniac has accomplished on a college level is all right, but she doesn't come close to top five college player. The odds she could even maintain a Symetra Tour card are slight, let alone become an LPGA player, at least based on what we've seen so far. For now, I'm going with the theory that she's angling for a job at Golf Channel. Given their hiring practices, she'll probably get it. (No offense, Tom Abbott! ) |

Paige S. is a cinch to be a regular for the LPGA/Shop-Rite satellite pro-ams at Galloway Nat'l, ACCC, or Seaview/Pines...guaranteed!!!

What Ms. Spirniac has accomplished on a college level is all right,.................... Happy: You just replaced Anthony as the 2nd funniest guy on this forum....but still distant to #1....fanofseri. "....is all right"...this is hilarious coming from a casual golfer who likely couldn't break 95 on a full length championship track......well played sir....well played. I read that Paige was captain of her golf team at SDSU....therefore likely on a full ride scholarship....I highly doubt........ if your daughter was fortunate enough to earn a full ride athletic or academic scholarship to a D1 university........ you would down play it as....."all right". Mostly likely....... you'd be the proudest Dad in Seattle or likely all of Merica when your family received the news.....and rightfully so. No one on this forum claimed that Paige was an All American top ranked NCCA golfer or Symetra or LPGA capable....but ya gotta give credit that she plays collegiate golf and more than likely on a full ride...that very few golfers men or women accomplish. Your humor is appreciated....I doubt if a hot looking Korean was taking advantage of her good looks to obtain golf notoriety....you wouldn't be trashing her like Paige....why so much hatred for your fellow Mericans?  |

"....is all right"...this is hilarious coming from a casual golfer who likely couldn't break 95 on a full length championship track......well played sir....well played. What does my golf talent have to do with anything? Nothing, of course. Why don't you just admit that the level of talent this woman has shown in no way suggests she will ever be an LPGA golfer? Why try to change the subject to me? Maybe because you know you don't have a leg to stand on? ROFL I read that Paige was captain of her golf team at SDSU....therefore likely on a full ride scholarship....I highly doubt........ if your daughter was fortunate enough to earn a full ride athletic or academic scholarship to a D1 university........ you would down play it as....."all right". Mostly likely....... you'd be the proudest Dad in Seattle or likely all of Merica when your family received the news.....and rightfully so. Again... Has nothing whatsoever to do with her ability to play at a much higher level than any she has shown herself ready for. Next? No one on this forum claimed that Paige was an All American top ranked NCCA golfer or Symetra or LPGA capable....but ya gotta give credit that she plays collegiate golf and more than likely on a full ride...that very few golfers men or women accomplish. Nor did I say anyone was. I was pointing out the lameness of the LET and Golf Digest treating this woman far more seriously than her talent merits. I would wager less than 1% of women who get full ride scholarships ever make it to the pro leagues, which is all I'm talking about. You're batting 1000 so far chum. (oh, and like I'm sure you will soon be posting about every full ride women's golfer who has an equivalent level of talent, right? Just to show you are more fair about such things than I am? I'm awaiting your 500+ posts on these subjects). Your humor is appreciated....I doubt if a hot looking Korean was taking advantage of her good looks to obtain golf notoriety....you wouldn't be trashing her like Paige....why so much hatred for your fellow Mericans? Sure, sure. I challenge you to find one example of me doing that. Good luck with that! LOL. PS - I don't hate Paige, I resent that Golf Digest chooses to ignore great, transcendent talents like Inbee Park while giving ink to someone whose major claim to fame is how she exploits her looks. |

Yes, I'll bet the membership at Galloway (serious golfers) did a scouting report in 2013 and skimmed the cream off the top for their pro-am: Candace Schepperle, Nicole Smith, Seema Sadekar, Shannon Fish, Irene Cho, Sara "No H" Brown, and the queen of the bunch, Kelly Marie Villarreal. I'll be shocked if Galloway doesn't get Paige for 2016. ********* I'm surprised Soobin Kim didn't do more on the LPGA this year. For her senior year at the U. of Washington, she averaged 69.50 in nine rounds. Meanwhile, Alison Lee averaged 69.67 in nine rounds as a senior at UCLA. But, Alison tore up the LPGA while Soobin struggled. How does that happen? Mr3putt, did you ever meet Soobin during your B.C. golf travels? She got my attention at the Shop-Rite...she's short, but built like a brick s#@&house. ********* Regarding the argument, I gotta throw in with HF. He was more than generous in describing Paige's game as "all right". Most good players get better during their college careers, but Paige got worse! Her progression was 76.25 to 76.41 to 76.73 (source: goaztecs.com). She has posted better scores in the last three events of the 2015 Cactus Tour season, but didn't come close to winning. But, she has a nice driver swing posted on Instagram; I could watch it over and over...and over...and over... |
