Player Profiles - Part 5
21. Sun Young Yoo (33-28-19) Yoo is probably the highest-rated player who even avid LPGA fans know nothing about. She played her best golf of 2009 in back-to-back weeks, finishing tied for second at Arkansas and then tied for third at CVS. Overall her record isn't terribly impressive - four...
Player Profiles - Part 4
16. Eun-Hee Ji (13-8-9) This U.S. Women's Open jinx is getting ridiculous. Beginning with 2003, let me count the ways this championship has body-slammed its winner: 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Hilary Lunke Meg Mallon Birdie Kim Annika Sorenstam Cristie...
Player Profiles - Part 3
Today, Players 11 through 15... 11. Paula Creamer (2-3-2) Not quite the year we expected out of Paula. She doesn't rank higher because she didn't win an event and she only finished tenth on the money list. Making only 21 starts didn't help matters, as she fought health problems most of the...
Player Profiles - Part 2
Numbers in parentheses are the player's final 2008 ranking, their preseason ranking and the highest position they reached during the 2009 season. 6. Suzann Pettersen (7-5-4) Ended a drought of nearly two years when she won the Canadian Open in September. Even during the dry spell, Suzann...
Player Profiles - Part 1
The days are getting shorter and the weather has gotten chilly, so it must be our favorite time of year...time for my annual player profiles! Over the next couple of weeks, I'll tackle each of my Top 30 plus a few others of interest. After each player's name, I'll list in order where I had her...

Player Profile - Lindsey Wright
I realized the other day that I haven't been profiling players as much as I used to. When I changed from ranking the Top 30 to my Top 70 list, I started leaving out the little blurbs on each player to keep the post from becoming too monstrous. Those bits of information were always kind of cool to...
2009 LPGA Elevator: The Dark Side
Click here to see who has been Moving Up. Now for those players who haven't had the greatest starts to 2009: Moving Down: Seon Hwa Lee Last July, Seon Hwa ranked #5 on the HD chart, finished the year at #9 but has since fallen to #12. After her victories at the Ginn Tribute and Arkansas, Lee...
