Ryu Go, Girl!

While Rory McIlroy became charging again in the direction of the best side of the cut at The Barclays, So Yeon Ryu become making a bit history on the Canadian Pacific Women's Open.

Okay, maybe a lot of history.

So Yeon Ryu has been playing very well for pretty a while. It's just that she hasn't been capable of near out and get a win in a couple of years now. She blames it on her putting, however I can't assist however consider the satisfactory of play over the last couple of years. Lately it appears to me that something much less than best may want to value you a possible win on the LPGA.

Well, she hasn't hit many horrific shots the ultimate couple of days -- she's long past sixty three-sixty six (-15) up to now. In truth, she advised LPGA.Com:

“After I shot 9-under, 6-under isn’t that great, but still it’s a really great score, and I had a lot of great putts,” she said. “I had a bogey-free round two days in a row, so I feel really great about that. I do love Canadian fans so much. I’m really happy I was able to show really great golf in front of them...

?I?M aiming for a bogey-free round all day four days, and I?M aiming for a truly true win,? Ryu said."

"After I shot nine-below, 6-underneath isn?T that first-rate"? LPGA.com said she was joking but perhaps she's been a bit too hard on herself lately as well.

I instructed you she's making some history. Here's the deal:

• Her 129 total for 36 holes is the lowest of this season and the best in the history of this event by 3 shots.
• I think her 63 in the first round ties her best-ever score and is 3 better than any of her rounds this season. I understand that it was also a course record.
• She has a 5-stroke lead after 36 holes. That may not be a record in and of itself, but consider this: Last year Lydia Ko won with -15. You have to go back to 2007 when Lorena Ochoa won with -16 to find a lower 72-hole score!

So Yeon Ryu is clearly the favorite at this point. I won't jinx her by giving her the tournament early -- she's bogey-free so far, but there are two rounds yet to go. However, I will say this...

If Lydia Ko -- presently at -5, T24 -- intends to 3-peat, she's got some severe work beforehand of her nowadays.

GC's coverage starts at 3pm ET today.
