Winner: Na Yeon Choi
Around the wider world of golf: Adam Scott won the Talisker Masters (formerly the Australian Masters) on the Australasian Tour; Luke Donald won the Dunlop Phoenix on the Japan Tour; Miguel Angel Jimenez won the UBS Hong Kong Open on the Asian/European Tour; and Henrik Stenson won the SA Open Championship on the Sunshine/European Tour.
Alas, the LPGA season is officially over. The girls who certified for the CME Group Titleholders -- three players each from each respectable match of the season -- played a few pretty remarkable golfing over the previous few days.
But in the long run, as is usually the case, it isn't a spherical or two of stunning play that receives the activity completed. Rather, it is a continually right degree of play.
Na Yeon Choi failed to publish any path records. In truth, her ratings were given a little worse every day. She shot sixty seven-68-sixty nine-70. But while your worse spherical is -2, you are not doing awful at all!
She started out the day with a one-shot lead. After a difficult start -- her the front nine had a double-bogey, a bogey, a birdie, and an eagle -- she did what she regularly does while she has a lead. She closed it out, shooting a bogey-loose -2 at the very last 9 to win by way of 2.
NYC (aka "the Big Apple") got her first major this year at the U.S. Women's Open, which is generally considered the most important tournament on the Tour -- especially for the Asian players, since it was in that tournament where Se Ri Pak broke through. (It also has the biggest paycheck.) The Titleholders has the second largest check, so she racked up the two biggest events of the year. She had 3 other runner-up finishes as well, so this win was no fluke finish.
The Rolex Rankings are already posted for this week, and NYC moved up to the #2 spot, simply over 2.Five points in the back of Yani Tseng. Remember in advance this 12 months when we idea Yani changed into almost untouchable? Remember just these days while we figured it'd be Stacy Lewis who stuck her? I have a sense it can be the Big Apple who takes a chunk out of the ratings in the next few months!
In the quit, Na Yeon did not win any of the major awards of 2012... However I suspect a number of LPGA players might have gladly taken her 12 months in place of their very own. So this week's Limerick Summary salutes the "massive city woman" with the even-larger sport:
They're the largest wins of her career.
Na Yeon Choi's made it perfectly clear
With her first U.S. Open
And now this, she's hoping
She'll conquer the Rolex next year. The photo came from the wrap-up page for the tournament at lpga.com.
