Hmmmmm.....looks like 50% or more of the juniors are of Asian decent....surprise....surprise.
Go Muni He.

The grandstand behind the 18th green has been there for a few years....and it has taken out a water hazard....duh......another reason this is a fake major.
So any pro capable of reaching the green in 2 can take extra club and bomb it without worrying to hold the green...hit the grandstand and get a free drop.

The only Sophie Lui I know is a local news anchor.

If they were to invite a local Van City gal....I would have thought it would be top ranked Michelle Kim....I played golf with she and her friend in 2014 at Redwoods.
Her older sister, Taylor, is on a golf scholarship in the US.

Hmmmm....another rich Asian family able to send their kid down south to practice....that's what makes Megan Khang's story so enlightening.

You know, I'd rather she not play if she is not 100%. The last thing I want is for her to miss a bunch of cuts or finish in the middle of the pack because she is not ready. Better that she rest a while longer, practice to prepare, then smoke the fields in the summer Majors.

I'm with you.

However, the longer In Gee sits out, the more likely the injury is serious to the point that it might affect her permanently.

In Gee injured on Monday, February 29; more than 3 weeks ago. I'd be very concerned if she's not healthy enough to play next week, more than 4 weeks from her injury.

Rory or In Gee; I can't go wrong.

Dumbo should reach out to GOAT #2 during her absence to pick his brain about winning....and talk about injuries.
Besides...if she gets close to Tiger...she can therefore use his private jet to future events and bypass escalators in the commoners airport terminals.

SYR needs some advice to seek a new coach....maybe The Smiling Buddha can direct her to someone....Ian Baker Finch would be the last guy I'd be reaching out to for help....was there not a time when IBF couldn't break 90...and I read on the internet (isn't everything on the internet true??) he was crying in the locker room after the 1st rd in 1997 at Troon after a 92.....and then WD'd and retired from competitive golf...hmmmmm.....IMO...can't say that's mentally tough.

What?....they need to lower ticket prices to attract more fans to the MOST POPULAR(as per SayYouSeRi) major.
You can clubhouse park if you're willing to pay $180/day for an 18th suite ticket?

It's a same that they charge for parking at the shuttle lot.
Is there free public parking available on the side street next to Mission Hills?

Just a clarification...did they have restaurant-type valet parking at this golf tournament? Just drive to the course property and give them your keys? I've never seen that before. For me, it's been either a shuttle bus from an off-site location, or drive to a designated area on the course property and walk to the playing area.

BTW, the ANA shuttle will NOT be running on Monday or Tuesday. What if you want to see the junior tournament on Monday? This is really lame, or can you drive to the course on Monday or Tuesday?

The freebee stands are the worst. Totally in the sun as the final groups come in. So hard to see with that sun in your eyes. Hopefully the new stands fix that problem. The paid stands are great but usually empty and costly. I've been five years in a row and the crowds have gotten smaller every year.
