LPGA Thread

There has been so much excitement on the LPGA so far this year, that it is hard to believe that the season is only 1/4 over. Hall of Famer Karrie Webb has already won twice this year. That has been matched by Anna Nordqvist's 2 victories. Fan favorites Paula Creamer and Michelle Wie have each brought home a trophy, and future superstars Lexi Thompson and Jessica Korda have also been in the winner's circle.
Fan interest is growing, television ratings have never been higher, and they still have 75% of the schedule to play (and that includes four more majors).

The LPGA moves back to the state of California this week for the inaugural playing of the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic.

This will be tournament # 9 of 32 on the schedule this year.

Here are the key details:

Yes, they came from the warmth of Hawaii to the very cool and foggy weather of the Bay Area. I understand the start time was delayed 2 hours this morning due to fog. The girls looked like they were dressed for snow. I hope it warms up for them by the later rounds. Pete

Yea, the first two days have been rough. Instead of swinging skirts we are getting jackets and earmuffs.

I'm surprised they're getting away with "The Swinging Skirts" tag without various PC groups yelling and screaming about it.

I want to start off by congratulating Lydia Ko for winning the LPGA Swinging Skirts Tournament. Lydia had quite a week. First she was named one of the 100 most influential women in the world, then she celebrated her 17th birthday, and topped that off by winning her first tournament as an LPGA member. It was her 3rd LPGA win overall.

The LPGA moves to the state of Texas this week for the playing of the North Texas LPGA Shootout.

This is tournament #10 of 32 on the LPGA schedule this year.
