Asian Swing, Take 2

The late baseball player Yogi Berra -- well-known for bizarre but unusually quotable sayings, which includes the notorious "It ain't over until it is over" -- as soon as said, "It's d?J? Vu all over again." That genuinely fits the LPGA this week.

Last week the PGA Tour performed the Presidents Cup in Incheon, South Korea. This week the LPGA is playing the LPGA KEB-HanaBank Championship in Incheon, South Korea.

The Presidents Cup changed into played at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea, a course designed via Jack Nicklaus. The LPGA KEB-HanaBank Championship is being performed on the Sky 72 Golf Club Ocean Course, a route designed by means of Jack Nicklaus.

And similar to the Presidents Cup, the LPGA event is being broadcast live, overdue at night.

Wow, d?J? Vu.

As regular, Tony Jesselli has carried out a preview which you could read at this link. I'll simply mention that this occasion is a co-sanctioned event between the LPGA and the KLPGA, which means that you may get to observe some up-and-coming gamers who you could no longer in any other case get to peer lots. For instance, the protecting champion, Kyu Jung Baek- -- who receives indexed on the LPGA leaderboards really as Q Baek, which I think could be very cool -- is likewise a rookie at the LPGA this yr.

At the time I'm writing this, Charley Hull and Gerina Pillar are tied for the lead at -6. Both are well into their rounds -- 17 and 14 holes, respectively -- so I'm guessing they'll still be near the lead when the second round is broadcast. GC's live broadcast of the second round begins tonight at 11:30pm ET.

Guess I'll be watching some overdue night golfing this week too. Wow, it genuinely is d?J? Vu all over again! I bet Yogi knew what he was speaking about...
