Tour Championship, Season and POY Race Go Into OT

Rainy weather and unplayable conditions over the weekend has reduced the Tour Championship to 54 holes and extended it to a Monday finish.  Early this morning, players are completing the second round (which began mid-afternoon Friday).  The cut will be made to the top 70 plus ties, then the third and final round gets underway.

Jiyai Shin and Lorena Ochoa will be duking it out (although not head-to-head in the same group) for the Rolex and Hound Dog Player of the Year Awards this afternoon.  If either one wins, she will clinch both POY titles.  Shin is currently alone in second place, one shot behind Kristy McPherson, while Ochoa is tied for third two shots behind.  Golf Channel will air two hours of coverage beginning at 4pm EST.

UPDATE:  GC coverage began at 3pm, so I missed about 45 minutes of it.  As of 4:20 EST, Anna Nordqvist leads at -11, Ochoa is tied with Na Yeon Choi for second at -10, Kristy McPherson is -9, Ai Miyazato is -8 and Shin is tied for sixth at -7.  With only 4-5 holes left to play, Ochoa has a seven-shot margin in the Vare Trophy race so I think we can call that one.  If they finish exactly as they stand right now, Shin would win Rolex Player of the Year by one point!

wow!

Just after Hee Kyung Seo made like a final round queen on the KLPGA and Chie Arimura catapulted herself into the thick of the JLPGA money-list race (both getting their 5th wins of 2009), Anna Nordqvist denied Lorena Ochoa win #4, but Shin’s bogey on 17 gave Ochoa her 4th-straight POY (to go with her 4th-straight Vare Trophy)—by 1 point! What a finish—wish I’d seen it!
