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]

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?

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
