If that's what they want to call it.. I wouldn't call anything that is reachable by a 3 wood a par 4. So would you call a hole reachable with a five iron second shot a par five. LOL! Yeah, I think if you are going to start questioning what constitutes a par 4/par 5 on this tour you best be prepared to look closely at a lot of the holes they play! Whatever. They called it a par 4, she made the hole in one, I call it awesome!! Great job, and the way she bowed before she took the ball from the hole made it even better. Plus it resulted in this awesome interview: (if it doesn't play, click here: Ha Na Jang Interview ) Today was a really fun day overall. First you had Rocket rocketing up the leaderboard and putting herself in the center of things, then Ha Na pulled off the albatross, Sei Young played great, and we ended with Hyo Joo jarring an eagle on the final hole. So tomorrow, we have Il Hee Lee and Sei Young Kim, two of this event's three former champs, playing with Hyo Joo in the penultimate group. They are all right in this thing! Good luck to them! HYP is just three back and could definitely make this interesting herself. Go Sisters!!!!

Hee Young Park's skort or whatever is cool. Thankfully some of the women on tour still know how to dress. Best clothes on tour! And she doesn't mess it up with the NASCAR look with huge endorsement logos all over. Volvik is the worst for that.

The freshness is gone for Jessica Korda, who won here in 2014.

Mr.Know it all, Annie Park will be just fine. It's her first tournament under difficult windy conditions. Allison did not get off to a great early start either last year. If you know so much about golf, you would understand that. Thanks for the compliment...yes many think my brilliance is wonderful too. Everyone played in windy conditions too. Apart from a teaching pro...Annie finished DFL. I'd say GiMME had a pretty OK start to the first part of last year. www.lpga.com/players/alison-lee/98223/results

Ha Na Jang's ace on a par 4 today was the first one in LPGA history!!!! If that's what they want to call it.. I wouldn't call anything that is reachable by a 3 wood a par 4. Agree. For all you Big Break...women's version fanboys...they often played that hole on Big Break Atlantis.

Excerpt from LPGA's Round Three notes: Hee Young Park’s fellow competitors may be slightly blindsided when they tee it up with her in 2016 because Park is now booming drives 15 yards further than she did in 2015. Park said she spent the offseason working to get stronger and she showed the difference in power in her game Saturday with a third-round 8-under-par 65, tying the tournament record, to climb back into contention heading into the final round.
“Off-season, lots of workouts, even fun workout stuff, kickboxing, like aerobics,” she said.
It’s shown so far this week. After averaging 249.6 yards per drive a year ago, good for 67th on Tour, Park is bombing it this week with an average drive of 269.7 yards per drive this week.
“I try to make my swing stronger, which I got more distance about everything, even include driver, like 10, 15 yard farther now, yeah,” Park said. “Then I switched my new irons, which is liked upgraded model. Same Mizuno irons but it goes far every yardage like a couple more yards, so it’s just good, easy to play.”
Looks like JPX-850 irons. Phil On Friday.....the tee blocks on Friday were moved up 40 yards on a driving measuring hole....that's why there are some long drives....the LPGA didn't make an adjustment for this....this is why at times the LPGA can be Mickey Mouse. Ya...those might be JPZ 850's which look like shovels....even the JPX 850 forged look a bit chunky....IMO....I really liked the JPX 825 Pro's. If you look at the Graphite Design website...supposedly the blue iron shafts are women shafts at 50 gms....I gotta believe these are too whippy for any woman pro. I guess Kylie is only managing....I think I have a chance to loop for The Rocket.

My ideal result would be for Charley to beat Ms Pouty Face in a playoff and Hull asks Lewis to sign her golf glove.

The Pure Silk Bahamas doesn't start until the back nine on Sunday. DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME.
A Charley Hull win would be brilliant. Cheers.

Hyo Joo tied for first at -15 after 10; somebody has to beat her, she won't beat herself.

Megan Khang tied for third after 10; can anyone catch her for 2016 Rookie of the Year?

Inbee's future is now uncertain and the Italian's influence over SYR is unknown. HJK is now the number one Korean assuming she doesnt collapse. It sure is more fun to watch her swing over Queen Bee.

I's surprised Hyo joo didn't do better last year; considering her pedigree at KLPGA. Her KLPGA record was as good as Ji Yai Shin; Ji Yai was one putt away from winning LPGA's Player of the Year during her rookie year. Ji Yai, Hyo Joo and In Gee had tremendous KLPGA records; they're battle proven.

If Sei Young can only eliminate her double bogies; I guess it's too much to ask!
Sei Young is truly a women's version of Rory McIlroy; double bogies included.
