Back in early April I wrote who I thought were the biggest surprises and biggest disappointments of the year. The LPGA had only played 7 tournaments at that point. So much has changed since then. The LPGA has now played 21 of the 34 tournaments on this year's schedule, and I think it is time to take another look.

It has been 3 months since I last did a report card on this year's rookies. At that time the LPGA had only played 10 tournaments, they have now completed 22 events. So much has changed. What appeared to be a pretty weak 2017 rookie crop at the time of that writing, has developed into a much stronger group than originally expected.

With the LPGA taking a two week break from tournament play before resuming its schedule in Canada, it is as good a time as any to look at some key player statistics after the first 22 tournaments of the year.
