Manulife LPGA Classic

[Tontj5]

After a break of one week, the LPGA resumes this week with the inaugural playing of the Manulife LPGA Classic.

It is one of 3 new tournaments added to the schedule this year.

Stacy Lewis is currently LPGA's hottest golfer, winning 2 of the last 3 stroke play events. She has now passed Yani Tseng, and taken the lead in the Rolex Player of the Year Award.

Several Big name players have taken this week off to prepare for the U.S. Woman's Open which will be held at Black Wolf Run, in Koeler Wisconsin in 2 weeks. Players missing from this week's tournament include, Yani Tseng, Natalie Gulbis, Brittany Lincicome, Jiyai Shin, Se Ri Pak, and Jessica Korda.

I am fairly new on here so I am hoping to see some LPGA fans here.

I will post pairings when they become available.

I will also update scores at the end of each round.

Here are my picks for this week.

1- Stacy Lewis

2- Na-Yeon Choi

3- Paula Creamer

4- Ai Miyazato

5- Cristie Kerr

Would like to see who everyone else is picking.

Is it just me, or has this tournament been boring as hell so far?

Unless there is a cute one to watch on the leader board, I'm bored. I know......I'm a pig.

I'm a pig, but I don't see where that has anything to do with not watching the LPGA. I watch TV sports to see the best players in the world, not the best of a restricted group. The LPGA is like the WNBA to me, i.e., not that interesting.

Congrats to Brittany Lang on her first ever LPGA win!
