Suprised no one has mentioned this yet as i thought she had a few fans on here. Congratulations to Ai on a good start to the season.

With woods out the LPGA should really try and capitalize on the form of young stars like Ai.

i've really tried to watch LPGA golf, i really have. however, when i commit myself to sit and watch a women's golf tournament, i wake up 45 min. later with drool running down my face.

When I heard she won, I thought it was a repeat of last week's news. Turns out it was and it wasn't. I'd like to see her and AK win on the same day. They're opposites, but both strong young players, and both share the same birthday.

I wanted to see Ueda take down the crown. Too bad she sealed her fate getting wet late in the round. I like her style of play and swing more than Miyazato. Good showing at least.

Always fun for me when Suzann is in contention. Losing a 5 shot lead last 2 weeks ago was a real downer.

What bothers me most on the LPGA is the players that need their caddy to check the alignment. Drives me crazy...

How is it that the girls on the LPGA tour are allowed to wear hot pants when men have to wear slacks? Who was that in the red coochie pants? On the men's tour the camera frames shots according to the shot, on the ladies tour they have to frame to keep their rear end out of the picture. I demand equality! I know those girls are wearing them so us 60 year old guys can ogle them.

i have a rules question about this. i was watching when Ueda's ball got wet and she was attempting to drop. it was near a drop off to the water banked by railroad ties, so her caddie opened up the umbrella to catch the ball if it rolled over the edge. but an official came over and seemed to tell the caddie that he couldn't do this??? i couldn't hear the tv at the time (was trying to take a nap, haha). why could the caddie not try to catch a dropped ball so that it wouldn't get lost for no reason whatsoever?

haha u know what they sell about the female sense of direction... jk... tho when my sister plays golf she consistently lines up 20 yards left or right of the target.

hey Ben i was wondering how do u think u would go against someone like lorena, michelle or Ai? Against ueda u seem like u would lose on purpose....

I used to line up 30 yards right. Instead of having someone check me all the time I changed the way I set up for a shot and got rid of the problem myself.

That Ueda comment made me chuckle! That's good stuff! Lose on purpose though...? If the stakes were right, maybe. hahaha.

Fun question too. Something I've never thought about. I'm more familiar with the games of Lorena and Michelle. I think the matches would be pretty close. Lorena is the #1 [female] golfer in the world. That's a large accomplisment. Something as of now I can only dream of. As far as Michelle, we hit the ball about the same distance. That match would come down to who is putting better.

    • 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?
