This is highly restricted field; Q Baek is the 1st alternate.

How quickly do people change; no love for In Bee and Lexi bandwagon:

I'd would hope In Gee wins this week so we'll find out whether she starts to interview in English.
There has been an unmistakable attempt to improve her English; both her Instagram and Twitter accounts are in English.

I agree, and it would be great if Happy is the guy! Happy, just don't forget to invite us all to In Gee's 2016 Player of the Year party! However, it's In Gee's accounts and she needs to know what have being presented. |

If Lexi continues to putt like she did in Thailand, IGC doesn't need to worry about accepting her Player of the Year in English.

LPGA.com discovers In Gee: www.lpga.com/news/2016-top-storylines-hsbc-womens-championsREAL DEAL ROOKIE It won’t take many by surprise that In Gee Chun has seemed to make a seamless transition from the LPGA of Korea (KLPGA) to the LPGA Tour this season. In just her first two starts in her rookie year, Chun finished in a tie for third at the Coates Golf Championship and runner-up last week to Lexi Thompson in Thailand. The player nicknamed “Dumbo” who is quickly becoming known for her amiable personality is the only rookie in the field this week, earning a spot based on her Rolex Ranking. The reigning U.S. Women’s Open champion is the clear front runner for the Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year and currently has 166 points in the race, 96 points ahead of the next rookie on the list, Gaby Lopez. Chun leads the Tour in scoring average (69.25), ranks second in birdies (39) and has ascended to No. 6 in the Rolex Rankings with her finish in Thailand last week. The 21-year old South Korea native has plenty of professional experience and comes over from the KLPGA with eight career victories. She had five wins last year en route to Player of the Year honors, money title and scoring average title. |

Given the level of play on the KLPGA, I don't think IGC should be eligible for Rookie of the Year. She is in no way a rookie. It is insulting to the Korean Tour. It should go to player out of high school, college or Symetra.

It should go to player out of high school, college or Symetra. The only thing In Gee can do is to play her best golf; she can't turn down ROY award if she wins it. The more important award is the Player of the Year; in 2009, Jiyai Shin was one putt away from winning both ROY and POY. In Gee's goal is this year is top 10 in winning; she's off to a good start on that. |

Look at that! I had no idea holes 4, 5 and 6 surround a lagoon. I wonder how hard it is for spectators to follow groups there.

Ariya is a mental midget....late for her tee time and she was nearby....WTF. I was at the range at the CP CWO....she was playing this weird silent game with her loop.....I remember Glen said that Ariya and Moriya treat the LPGA like recess. (or something like that). IMO....all the Asia swing events should have a minimum $2M purse....I'll give the Toto a pass...it's a tier 3 event. |

Sorry, I'm not running her Instagram or twitter account, but I'd be more than glad to do an interview with her if she wants to.  |
