Player Profiles - Part 6
Apologies for the hiatus - real life has been taking up a larger share of my time than normal and probably will be for the next several weeks. Where were we? Oh yes... 26. Shanshan Feng (NR-NR-26) Feng finished seventh at CVS and T12 in Malaysia to conclude her season on a high note and move...
Player Profiles - Part 5
21. Sun Young Yoo (21-15-16) Yoo won the Sybase Match Play Championship, defeating Song-Hee Kim, Yani Tseng, Jiyai Shin and Angela Stanford along the way. She finished 16th on the money list but otherwise didn't play well enough to register a Top 20 season. SYY missed five cuts (not including...
Player Profiles - Part 4
The numbers in parentheses are the player's final 2009 ranking, her preseason ranking and her highest ranking during 2010. 16. Jee Young Lee (35-NR-16) If you pressed me for a Comeback Player of the Year selection, I would have to say it belongs to Inbee Park. Two of the players in this post...
Player Profiles - Part 3
Parts 1 and 2, if you haven't seen them. 11. Michelle Wie (10-8-9) In mid-September, Michelle was playing great. She won the CN Canadian Open in August and finished second at Arkansas. Sometime thereafter she injured her back, forcing a withdrawal from the Ochoa Invitational and a DNS at the...
Player Profiles - Part 2
Here is Part 1 if you missed it. The numbers following the names are the player's final 2009 ranking, her 2010 preseason ranking and the highest level she reached during this season. 6. Suzann Pettersen (6-6-5) For the fourth straight year Suzann ranks among the Top 10, even though like in...
Player Profiles - Part 1
As is my annual habit, I will be profiling the Top 30 players in my final 2010 rankings in groups of five. Selected others will follow the Top 30. The numbers in parentheses after each player's name indicates her ranking at the end of 2009, her preseason ranking and the highest position she...
Laura Davies
JNT, one of my readers from across the pond, requested some analysis on the LPGA's greatest Liverpool supporter. Now approaching the age of 47, Laura Davies is clearly on the downside of her career but can she regain enough of her former talent to possibly win again? 2009 was the first season of...
Player Profiles - Part 9
This is the final installment of my 2009 Player Profiles. If there are any other players you would like for me to profile, list them in the comments and I'll oblige after the holidays. 57. Eunjung Yi (70-NR-49) Yi is the winner of the 2009 Hound Dog Fluke Victory of the Year Award. She won...
Player Profiles - Part 8
38. Se Ri Pak (63-NR-32) Judging by the numbers in parentheses above, Pak made a bit of a comeback this year. She collected only two Top 10s finishes (down one from '08) but came up only one shot short at State Farm to In-Kyung Kim. Cutting over six-tenths of a stroke off her average, she...
Player Profiles - Part 6
26. Hee Young Park (43-29-25) A second-year player who seems to be this close to breaking through, Park finished runner-up twice in 2009 (at Thailand and Mizuno) and in the Top 10 a total of six times. Six missed cuts (three in a row at the beginning of summer) prevented her from threatening...
