2. Ai Miyazato (9.17)
3. Ya Ni Tseng (8.82)
4. Suzann Pettersen (8.41)
5. Cristie Kerr (7.60)

7. Karrie Webb (6.57)
8. Michelle Wie (6.52)
9. Na Yeon Choi (5.70)

Morgan Pressel's win in Japan moved her up 8 spots to #17 in the rankings (4.30).

Kind of strange not seeing Ochoa's name on that list, isn't it. (sigh)

It all looks different, with Lorena gone and Paula Creamer out for awhile. I'm just glad I recognize the names that remain! ;-)

14 Sakura Yokomine
15 Inbee Park
16 Chie Arimura
17 Morgan Pressel
18 Catriona Matthew
19 Hee Kyung Seo
20 Shinobu Moromizato

Looking at the top 20 there are half dozen that excite me and I think has the charisma, charm, appeal, & personality.
But none have the game and put up the numbers that Lorena did.
2008 was a great year for Lorena.

There is one lady on the list that has 3 wins in 2010 and is only .12 behind in the Rolex points this week.
She has the charisma, charm, appeal, & personality and starting to put up some good numbers.
She got the action, she got the motion, dedication, devotion and this girl can play.

ROLEX POINTS 90 (1)
SCORING AVG (3)
RDS IN 60s (4)
RDS UNDER PAR (5T)
TOP 10 FINISHES (7)

And that is all I have to say on this subject.
