Surprised by that. She will probably skip some that conflict with invitations to LPGA events. And I think she is automatically in the Evian this summer (maybe the British Open as well). Of course there are only two ways to earn an LPGA card for 2015 (short of winning an LPGA event, which is unlikely) through the Symetra Tour or Q School. Q School is always a gamble. The Symetra way rewards consistent play over a season.DaveAndrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07582581861468549101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198629951037494295.post-56507768493956596492014-02-09T21:44:02.169-05:002014-02-09T21:44:02.169-05:00I was thinking the whole "USA!

It's clearly taken her too long to win as a pro for the hype machine to grind into action. Which is definitely a good thing. Maybe the media is learning. But a little excitement would be nice.

I'm guessing if she does it will be in relation to the summer Olympics that will include golf, although her chances of making the team are less than minimal.

Will it be overshadowed? Or will it get picked up and hyped during the coverage?”<br /><br />Oh, come on. The 209th ranked player in the world won a tournament on the other side of the world. The MSM is not going to ignore the Olympics in favor of Cheyenne Woods. If it does I’ll be throwing my lot in with Howard Beale.<br /><br />I think Woods win will be good for women’s golf, particularly in the US. I hope she does attract some notice. And I hope that whichever route she chooses to earn her LPGA Tour card in 2015 is successful.

But she has to face the facts that she's got to maximize her odds of making it to the LPGA in 2015. If she can't play her way into the Honda event in Thailand this coming week, I'd love to see her focus on the 1st 4 Symetra Tour events, which don't conflict with any LET events. She's got to space out her LPGA sponsor invites, anyway.The Constructivisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07242149985581771922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198629951037494295.post-28796387963899252492014-02-09T11:33:18.453-05:002014-02-09T11:33:18.453-05:00I'll be surprised if she plays the Symetra Tou...I'll be surprised if she plays the Symetra Tour. She is currently listed as a sponsor's exemption for the Australia Open (according to the field list on the LPGA site). I think she will now get into the Open with her victory and won't have to use up the sponsor exemption. She may have also just qualified for the Evian and the British Open with her victory (off the LET criteria). Not sure about that.DaveAndrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07582581861468549101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198629951037494295.post-82532419602471101652014-02-09T10:23:02.959-05:002014-02-09T10:23:02.959-05:00I think it will be much easier for her to obtain h...I think it will be much easier for her to obtain her card via the Symetra Tour. It is very rare to obtain your card via the top 40 equivalent category, although Charley Hull has made it quite clear that she intends to get her LPGA card in that fashion. I say good luck to her with that.Tony Jesselli (Tonyj5)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10928776936875684588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198629951037494295.post-48726184922059148942014-02-09T10:15:57.339-05:002014-02-09T10:15:57.339-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tony Jesselli (Tonyj5)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10928776936875684588noreply@blogger.com
