Best Without an LPGA Win?
Who's the best on the LPGA without a win? Here's the official Mostly Harmless guide.
Most Likely to Win This Season
1. Na Yeon Choi: She hasn't missed a cut in her 38 LPGA starts and has 5 top 3s in less than 2 full seasons. Her 16th-hole eagle last Friday to keep her streak alive shows what she's made of.
2. Jee Young Lee: She's a big hitter and a good putter, so why hasn't she followed up her non-member win in Korea yet? She has the most top 10s in her generation with 27 in less than 4 full seasons, and she notched her 7th top 3 this past week..
3. Angela Park: She has 8 top 3s but only 17 more finishes in the top 20 in less than 3 full seasons.
4. Michelle Wie: If you count her non-member starts, she has 10 top 3s and 16 top 10s in 55 starts; if you count only this year, she has 2 top 3s and 3 top 10s in 8 starts. Either way, these are impressive stats. But as her weak finish this past weekend shows, she needs to become more consistent.
5. Ai Miyazato: She's averaging just over 1 top 10 every 4 starts on the LPGA in less than 4 full seasons, but has only 4 top 3s to her name as an LPGA member (she finished 2nd at the Mizuno Classic in 2004 as a non-member). She was playing well enough to win the State Farm, but finished 1 shot out of a tie for 3rd.
6. Brittany Lang: In 13 more starts than Miyazato, she has 2 fewer top 10s and the same number of top 3s.
7. Song-Hee Kim: This Futures Tour sensation got off to a slow start on the LPGA, but now has 11 top 10s and 4 top 3s in less than 3 full LPGA seasons.
8. Jane Park: This NCAA star has finally settled into life on tour well, but she's been plagued by back problems this season. Still, even with limited status her rookie season, she already has 3 top 3s and 6 top 10s in just under 40 starts as a member.
For the rest of the top 20, head on over to Mostly Harmless and argue with me there--or here!
