Quite a trend in women's golf.

Identical twin sisters, Chizzy and Aki Iwai, shoot identical scores (70-68) in the first two rounds of the ShopRite @LPGA event and are tied for 2nd place at 4 under par heading into today's final round. Both will also be playing later this week in the U S Women's Open.
About 95 of the 156 players in next week's U S Woman's Open @uSWO are Asian or of Asian heritage.
Close to 2 out of every 3 players.
Quite a growing trend in the women's game.
.@KaufmanRichard Will be rooting tomorrow for my favorite @LETgolf player @PiaBabnik to capture the trophy in South Africa!! Weather forecast looks bleak.
Hope she plays tough and gets the W
Enjoying the TV coverage over here.
If the U S is self-sufficient with oil and doesn't move any oil through the Straits of Hormuz why do American oil companies have to raise their gas prices? Their costs haven't gone up. Isn't this price gouging?
One day they will make a movie about the fearless spies who were working inside Iran to feed Israeli intelligence the precise locations of the Ayatollah and his top people so the air strikes could take them out today.
It will be better than any fiction.
Veteran players Maude-Aimee Leblanc, 36: Jodi Ewart Shadoff, 37: and Ryann O'Toole, 38; all earned their full status LPGA cards for 2026 at the finals of Q School today.
31 players earned their @LPGA cards for the 2026 season today at the Q School finals.
Only 5 Americans got their cards, compared to 13 from Europe, 11 from Asia, and 2 from Canada
That's a disappointing finish for the USA, considering there were 41 Americans in the field of 115.
There are just 4 Americans in the top 25 heading into tomorrow's final round of @LPGA Q School finals in Mobile, Al.
Top 25 and ties earn their LPGA cards for next year.
The tour is becoming more and more international every year.
Leaderboard
There are only 35 Americans in this year's top 150 on the @LPGA's CME points list.
Korea (23) and Japan (13) have 36 combined. Korea, Japan, Thailand (11), and China (10) have a combined total of 57.
Asia has become the center of gravity on the tour.
There are only 3 Americans playing in this week's @LPGA event in Japan.
Granted it's a limited field (78 players) but that must be an all-time low for U S representation.
Close to 50% of this year's top players on the LPGA are Asian.
It's a new world in women's golf.
