Walmart NW Arkansas Championship - Epilogue
And the beat goes on... Yani Tseng's fifth victory of 2011 was the tenth of her career. She now has 16 Hall of Fame points, tying her with Cristie Kerr for second on the active unqualified list to Laura Davies' 25. Arkansas was her second successful title defense in six weeks, having done the...
State Farm Classic - Epilogue
A busy family weekend prevented me from viewing any coverage so apologies for the lack of recaps and this meager epilogue. Yani Tseng's three-shot victory was her second LPGA win of 2011, her fifth worldwide this year and the seventh of her Tour career (now in its fourth season). At age 22, Yani...
Top 70 - April 2011
I figured the best way to get back into the blogging swing would be to present my first Top 70 list of the year. 25% of the ranking is based on the five events played so far while 75% is based on last year's performance. The number in the third column is that player's final 2010 ranking. Rookies...
Player Profiles - Part 1
As is my annual habit, I will be profiling the Top 30 players in my final 2010 rankings in groups of five. Selected others will follow the Top 30. The numbers in parentheses after each player's name indicates her ranking at the end of 2009, her preseason ranking and the highest position she...
$25 Million Bribe Doesn't Snag Tseng for China
China loves winning. From devaluing their currency with pegged valuation to having underage girls competing for Olympic gold, the People's Republic has a shady track record. With golf just six years away from having its first go in the Olympics in a century, China is looking to stock up on women's...

Can Hull Foil Yani Tseng's 54 Hole Lead Yet Again?
Through three rounds of the Ricoh Women's British Open, Yani Tseng has played nearly flawless golf. Fortunate to avoid any hint of weather at Royal Birkdale, Tseng has fired three consecutive rounds of 68. For the first time, the two-time major winner has a 54 hole lead in a major championship. ...
2 Out of 3 Is Pretty Damn Incredible for Tseng, Really
As a closet Meatloaf fan, I frequently quote him in my day to day musings. I implored Yani Tseng for the opportunity to do so again to complete a beautiful Easter Sunday. Were she to pick up her second major championship and third career win at the Kraft Nabisco Championship, then she would...
News Flash: Asian Players DON'T Want to Kill the LPGA Tour
In 2003, Australian LPGA sexpot Jan Stephenson made the now infamous comment to Golf Magazine that "Asians are killing our tour [with] their lack of emotion, their refusal to speak English." Now-ousted LPGA Tour Commissioner Carolyn Bivens saw the value in players learning some proficiency in...
Tsenging Her Praises
At the beginning of the final round of the LPGA Championship, I would have bet the ranch that either Lorena Ochoa or Annika Sorenstam would wind up winning. And I would have bet the ranch that Jee Young Lee and Maria Hjorth would not. One out of two. Yani Tseng is the player I overlooked earlier...
