The LPGA moves to the state of Texas this week for the playing of the Volunteers of America LPGA Texas Classic. Many may remember last year's exciting finish when Haru Nomura defeated Cristie Kerr in a playoff.
Here are the first round scores. Tournament play was suspended because of darkness and the remainder of the first round will be played Saturday morning. This has now been reduced to a 36 hole tournament.
1 Sung Hyun Park -6 thru 5*
T2 Jenny Shin -4 thru 5*
T2 Sei Young Kim -4 thru 3*
Here are the scores when the second and final round was halted because of darkness. Some players did not get to tee off. Tournament will start up Sunday morning. The tournament has been cut to 36 holes.
1 Nicole Broch Larsen -7 thru14
2 Aditi Ashok -6 thru 14
2 Gaby Lopez -6 thru 11
2 Sung Hyun Park -6 - did not start
2 Jenny Shin -6 - did not start
With the LPGA taking a one week break before resuming its schedule in Virginia, it is a good time to take a look at some of the key player statistics after the first 11 tournaments of the year. The LPGA has now completed exactly one third of its schedule.
With the LPGA season about 1/3 complete I would like to take a look at how the rookies are faring so far this year. I will do this again at the 2/3 mark and a final time at the end of the season.
