[Hound Dog LPGA] Winning Isn't Everything, Is It? - Hound Dog LPGA: I don't know how many women touring professionals there are in the world today - Rolex ranks 700 of them but I wouldn't be surprised if there are more than 1000 - but the larger that number grows, the better the Top 150 get. It is debatable how much better each section of the Top 150 gets as the pool grows larger (I believe most of the boost affects the bottom half of the group but all are boosted somewhat) but there is currently no evidence to the contrary.

[SeoulSisters] Amy Yang: She Looks Like a Star « SeoulSisters: Among those five stars, however, was another up and coming Korean who has not yet reached their level of stardom, but who is nonetheless having a breakout season in 2010.  That player is Amy Yang, and watchers of the game have pegged her as a star in the making for several years.  Yang had a thoroughly impressive week in Pennsylvania.  By the end of the third round, in fact, she was tied for third, four shots behind Creamer, which earned her the right to play in the final group on Sunday.  She acquitted herself nicely in round four, demonstrating her mixture of power and touch around and on the greens to shoot an even par round and finish tied for 5th.  Johnny Miller, the noted commentator for NBC golf Majors, was suitably impressed.  After she drove the green on the short par 4 17th hole (using a 3 wood) and made eagle, Miller opined that Yang ”˜looked like a star’.  A hole later, he and the other commentators expressed their admiration of her ”˜effortless power’ and predicted big things for her.  Earlier in the week, one of the commentators mentioned that, among other players and caddies, Yang has become a player to watch.  Everyone seems to sense that this woman, who trains with the same coach as Korean legend Se Ri Pak (and who resembles Pak both in physical shape and style of game), is going to be a big star.  Perhaps that time is fast approaching!
