"She’s toast! The player I heard that was quitting golf didn’t but another did, I was told. Angela Park has packed it in. Jimin Kang was included in the field as her replacement."

Well, with that wording it is directly implied that Angela was quitting golf.

Not to mention his original statement about another player was, "Adios, ta-ta, auf wiedersehen: No matter how you say it, it’s still goodbye. One looper received a surprising text from his player indicating it was not just for the week, but for good! This youngster has decided to pack it in altogether and quit playing the Tour I was told."

Regardless, in the comments section of his original retirement statement, he stated that he wasn’t going to name names, because, "Sorry Johnny B, she may change her mind and I’d be up a creek."

Well, in this case he decided to blurt out Angela’s name. If it is in fact not true, why? Why this player, why name this name?

With everything you said Diane, I do think it is a benefit for all of us fans of the LPGA to have someone so close to the players posting regular updates. Just having more people in the LPGA Blogosphere is a good thing!

I think there’s a liability and a responsibility Larry has earned from his posts, and something like this is something to be made of. If it was simply a mistake on its own, that would be one thing, but the fact that he chose to name a proper name, after doing the opposite the week before, is interesting. I give a lot of credence to what Larry posts, and since he did name Angela specifically it added fuel to the fire.

Now if it were to turn out the original player in question wasn’t of Korean descent, I think it would’ve opened a whole other can of worms. I appreciate his posts, regardless, I just think there’s a good reason we’ve scrutinized this.
