Re: The LPGA Thread

Just two short weeks ago when I did my Top 30 Player of the Year Predictions for 2014, I picked Jessica Korda as the player most likely to have a breakout season. She has already made me look good today by winning the Pure Silk Bahamas LPGA Classic.

Jessica was victorious by one shot over Stacy Lewis. Stacy, playing one group ahead of Jessica, failed to birdie the par five final hole when her approach shot sailed over the green.

Jessica, needing a birdie to win, made things exciting when her approach shot also sailed over the green. She then putted to within about 6 feet and drained the winning putt from there.

Earlier in the day it looked like several other players had a better chance of winning, but all would falter.

I have been a big LPGA fan for a very long time. The first LPGA tournament I ever attended was back in 1974, and I remember following Jan Stephenson for 36 holes. The LPGA was quite popular back then, and would become even more popular in 1978 when a rookie named Nancy Lopez came onto the scene. Nancy would go on to win the Rookie of the Year, Vare Trophy, and Player of the Year in the same season. Nancy was making headlines and the LPGA was thriving. In the decades to come the game would still remain popular with players such as Annika Sorenstam, Lorena Ochoa, and Se Ri Pak bringing new fans to the game.

Unfortunately, things started changing for the worse as we entered the 21st century.

Re: The LPGA Thread

At the end of the 2013 season we found out who the eight countries were that will be competing in the International Crown that will be played in 2014.

There are still some very important things that have to be decided yet. They include:

Re: The LPGA Thread

The LPGA will be moving to Australia this week for the playing of the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open.

Jessica Korda, winner of the Pure Silk Bahamas LPGA Classic, will be trying to open the 2014 season with back to back wins. The Korda family has a rich history of coming up big in this country as Jessica won this event in 2012, and her father, Petr Korda, won the Australian Open Tennis Championship in 1998.

This will be tournament #2 of 32 tournaments on the 2014 schedule.

Re: The LPGA Thread

The LPGA tour moves to Thailand this week for the playing of the Honda LPGA Thailand.

Many of you may remember the startling conclusion of this tournament in 2013.

Ariya Jutanugarn had a two stroke lead going to the final hole, and triple bogeyed the par five 18th.

Inbee Park who had already completed her round, would be the beneficiary of Ariya's misfortune and take home the winner's check.

Yani Tseng was the winner of this event in 2011 and 2012. She also played well in 2013 finishing in 3rd place, just 2 shots back of the eventual winner.

This will be tournament # 3 of 32 tournaments on the 2014 LPGA schedule.
