China or South Korea

China or South Korea

The 2010 LPGA schedule leaked and the Hana Bank Kolon Championship is missing. Are Korean sponsors bailing on the LPGA(SBS and Samsung dropped events within the last year) or has the media once again not gotten its Asians correct? Yani Tseng and Candie Kung have been called Korean and the VA Tech killer was first labelled as Chinese. I'm betting the reports are wrong. We'll know soon enough.

Rickie Fowler just grabbed the lead when he aced the 203-yard par-3 fifth with a 6-iron. The pin is set on the back of the green today, making Fowler's shot 211 yards. The ace is the fourth consecutive day Fowler has scored an eagle. In the past two weeks alone, he already has six eagles.

He currently is still behind Troy Matteson, though.

That's ok, though. Since he wont his year on the Euro Tour, he's exempt through 2011 there. And he'll get some sponsor exemptions, too.
