She went to school and trains in USA, so, she is an American. Period.

In my bag Driver: Cleveland CG tour black Fairway Woods: Diablo Octane 3 wood; Diablo 5 wood Irons: Mizuno MP53 5-9 Hybrid: Cobra 3, 4 T-Rail Wedge: 46* Cleveland, 50* Cleveland, 54* Titleist, 60* Titleist Putter: Odyssey protype #6 Ball: Maxfli U4/U6... But I'm not really picky about the ball I use.

One more thing.

If you live here and embrace the American culture and you want to be an American, you are an American.

I hate it when people come to this country and don't give a damn about our culture. If you're going to live and benefit from living here, be an American... or at least pretend like you appreciate why you CHOSE to live here.

I can't believe four people responded Korean.

First time I've seen this thread and I can't even believe such a question could be contemplated. I'm usually not in any sort of politically correct crowd but this is ridiculous.

:doh::doh::doh:

If she "looked" like a "typical" Caucasian nobody would know or care where her parents immigrated from.

:-D . Very bizarre Bump. And to answer the original question. She is as American as me. I was also born in the US. End of story.

I voted Korean because I want to see if the networks change the flag based on this TST poll.  Its our call, after all, isn't it?

All that is not important. What important is could you concentrate on your putting line if she was putting on tbe same green as you yes or no? I am a no. That technique she has is far too distracting. I might forget to putt even.

Been playing properly since May 2014, got the bug now, so I'm here forever. Must have watched a billion hours of youtube videos, seems to help!

I think I read some where that at one time she held duel citizenship, but she had recently renounced her South Korean citizenship.

She's 100% American.

I read somewhere that she once made it on the green on a 590+ yard par 5 in two shots. :surrender: Not to shabby.

The LPGA is lucky to have her.

Ridiculous question which you answered in your own post.  She's American unless you feel Hawaiians are not Americans.  But your question now has me "confused" if I'm American (or not) since I have a mixed heritage which does not include Native American. [sarcasm alert]

Sorry to be anal but it's "dual" not "duel".

Unless they were battling to see which one she would keep.

Well if that's the only mistake I made that day, I still did pretty well. Did you forget a comma?

      Hybrids

      By p1n9183 ·

      Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By p1n9183 ·

      Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.

      I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.

      Not the last thing I bought or bought anything at all but Sun Day Red stuff seems a bit overpriced for it essentially being rebranded Nike apparel. I'm hearing the resale prices are wild though. Either way, I highly doubt I will indulge as I'm not much of a brand guy or a collector. But to keep up my super nice guy image have never turned down a gift though 😇 Tiger doesn't seem to sell stuff like MJ or Kanye did.
