Lorena Ochoa opened up a 4-shot lead on Player of the Year race leader Ji-Yai Shin in the 1st round of the LPGA Tour Championship today. Both players started on the back in the morning pairings, but they finished quite differently. Ochoa fired a tournament-leading 66, making 3 of her 8 birdies on the day in her last 4 holes, while Shin was busy bogeying 2 of her last 4 holes and finishing +2 over her...

LPGA Player of the Year rivals Ji-Yai Shin (5-birdie 69 with bogeys on 9 and 18), Ai Miyazato (bogey-free 69), and Lorena Ochoa (2-birdie 71) didn't hurt themselves in the 1st round of the Mizuno Classic , but they didn't light it up like the leaders. Brittany Lang lead the way with a 66 that was sparked by an eagle on the par-5 7th, but hot on her heels were former KLPGAer Hee Young Park (who started...

Getting onechan's guaranteed-to-keep-you-up-all-night cough is one thing; finding out she's brought head lice home from school is another. While I'm waiting for the fourth-to-last load of laundry to get out of the dryer, I have a little time to give you the results of the 1st round of the Hana Bank/KOLON Championship . In honor of Hound Dog, who's still in the "stepping away" phase of his...

World number one Lorena Ochoa goes in search of her fourth victory of the year this week as the LPGA Tour starts a two-week swing through Asia. The 27-year-old Mexican successfully defended her title at the Navistar Classic in Alabama at her last event earlier this month and tees off at the Hana Bank Kolon Championship in fine form. But she has a top field of players to contend with, led by defending...

Now that Team USA has beaten up on the Internationals in the President's Cup as badly as they did the Europeans in the Ryder Cup, it's time to revisit a back-and-forth between Vince Spence (the 1 and only One-Eyed Golfer ) and I last month over my claim that the "globalization of men's golf is about a decade behind the world of women's golf." Vince pointed to the concentration of the world's...

Eevn though she averaged only 246 yards off the tee and hit only 9 fairways today, amateur Alexis Thompson shot the low score among the morning pairings in the Navistar Classic on the strength of an 8-birdie 65. The teenager's only blemish came as she closed out the back 9, her front, when she bogeyed the par-4 18th to settle for a 34 on that side. But she responded with a closing 31 on the front to...

The last time the Canadian Women's Open was held in Alberta (way back in 2007), Edmonton was the host city and a promising teenage golfer who had recently turned professional and was listed as "Ya-Ni Tseng" got a surprise top 10. Last year in Ottawa, "Yani Tseng" was in a great position to win heading into the final round, but finished in 3rd after Katherine Hull (whom she had tied...

The U.S. Women's Open is in full swing and Saucon Valley has introduced itself to some of the top players in women's golf in a decidedly inhospitable manner. Angela Stanford broke a 5-hole bogey train on the front with a double bogey on the par-4 8th to open with a 43; she remains +7 through 11. Stacy Lewis birdied her 1st hole, but thanks in part to a triple on the par-4 3rd could only manage a 40;...

Names atop leader board aren't those you would expect Katherine Hull gets it. She understands the layman's perspective. She knows there are people watching the LPGA Championship who aren't rooting for players like her to win her first major. They want to see Michelle Wie or Natalie Gulbis or Paula Creamer in the mix, the tour's young and marketable stars who are expected to carry golf into the post-Annika...
