I believe the broadcast was referring to the fact she had 6 wins at this point last year and her scoring average is lower at the same point this year.

Sorry about that error. I have corrected it. The worse part about that is I was at the Mizuho the entire tournament.

My field rating for this event is a super 86%, making it the second highest rated field of the year (the KPMG was 87%).My breakdown is 82% from the LPGA Priority List and 90% from the Rolex World rankings. The Rolex ranking is super high because there are many highly ranked players from other tours in the field.Every player that is ranked in the top thirty-three of the Rolex Rankings will be teeing it up this week.Lydia Ko is the defending champion.All twenty winners on the LPGA Tour, and twelve winners from the LET, will be teeing it up this week.Other Stuff:Lottie Woad's win this past weekend was the first win for a player from England this year.Lottie was also the fourth rookie to win on the LPGA Tour this year, and the eighth first time winner.There has not been a multiple winner on the LPGA Tour this season in the first nineteen tournaments, that is the longest streak in the 75 year history of the LPGA.The Louise Suggs Rookie of the Year race got a bit closer this week. Rio Takeda still leads with 838 points, but Miyu Yamashita has cut into her lead with 690 points. Chisato Iwai is third with 596 points and Akie Iwai is 4th with 402.There was not much movement by LPGA players this week in thr Rolex Rankings, but these players are certainly worth mentioning: Nelly Korda retains the top spot for the 108th week in her career which ranks 5th on the all-time list. If she is number one next week she will tie Yani Tseng for 4th place.Lottie Woad skyrockets from 62 to 24.Sei Young Kim leaps from 50 to 35.Outside the top 100:Julia Lopez Ramirez catapults from 197 to 111.Paula Reto powers her way up from 170 to 143.In the all-important Race to the CME Globe, where you must finish in the top 100 to retain your full time playing privileges for 2026:Lottie Woad appears for the first time on the chart all the way up at the 46th position.Paula Reto greatly improves her chances by jumping from 95 to 75.Mary Liu (94 to 85) and Soo Bin Joo (99 to 90) still have work to do, but now have a much better chance.In Gee Chun jumps into the top 100, moving from 102 to 95. Jasmine Suwannapura fall out of the top 100, dropping from 100 to 102.I will leave everyone here with the following questions (feel free to comment):How is it possible that (according to the LPGA broadcast this weekend) Nellie Korda has a lower scoring average this year then she had last year when she won six times?How is it possible that Hye-Jin Choi does not have an LPGA victory on the LPGA Tour in her 3 plus years as a member? She has twenty-six top ten finishes.

My field rating for this tournament is 47.5%, down from 60.5% last year.My breakdown is 47% from the LPGA Priority List and 48% from the Rolex Rankings.Four of the top ten players from the Rolex Rankings will be teeing it up:Nelly Korda #1Minjee Lee #5Maja Stark #8Hyo Joo Kim #10Top ten players skipping the event this week:Jeeno Thitikul #2Lydia Ko #3Ruoning Yin #4Angel Yin #6Haeran Ryu #7Mao Saigo #9Defending Champion - Lauren CoughlinOther Stuff:Grace Kim's win at the Amundi Evian Championship was the second win this year for a player from Australia. It was the fourth tournament to be decided by a playoff this year. Seven others have been decided by one stroke.The LPGA has completed eighteen tournaments this year without a repeat winner. Yes, they have had nineteen different winners (the Dow had two winners).Jeeno Thitikul's top ten finish was her 8th of the year which leads the LPGA. Jeeno is trying to take home the top ten crown for a fourth consecutive season.Lottie Woad accepted her LPGA membership and is teeing it up for the first time as an LPGA member this week.Ruoning Yin had her cut streak snapped at the Amundi Evian Championship at twenty straight. Nelly Korda now has the longest current streak with sixteen consecutive cuts made. Rio Takeda continues to lead the Louise Suggs Rookie of the Year race with 826 points. Miyu Yamishita is runner up with 640 points. She is followed by Chisato Iwai (596) and Akie Iwai (364).As is usually the case after a major championship, there was lots of movement in the Rolex Rankings by LPGA members:Nelly Korda is still #1 this week (by a narrow margin), for the 107th week in her career. In doing so, she has passed Inbee Park who held that position for 106 weeks in her career. Nelly is now in fifth place on the all-time list, just two weeks short of Yani Tseng who holds the fourth spot.Minjee Lee jumps into the top five this week, moving from 6 to 5. Haeran Ryu falls out of the top five, dropping from 5 to 7.Grace Kim skyrockets from 99 to 25.Andrea Lee powers her way up from 36 to 27.Jennifer Kupcho improves from 38 to 33.Gaby Lopez rises from 64 to 58.Gabriella Ruffles leaps up from 71 to 59.Lottie Woad catapults from 143 to 62.Leona Maguire rebounds back up from 85 to 74.In the all important Race to the CME Globe, where players have to finish in the top 100 to maintain there full time playing privileges for the 2026 season:Emily Kristine Pedersen greatly improved her chances, rising from 90 to 78. Narin An did the same as she moved up from 87 to 79.Aditi Ashok (94 to 88), and Julia Lopez Ramirez (95 to 90) still have work to be done but certainly helped their chances.Ruixin Liu (105 to 92) Jeongeun Lee5 (103 to 98), and Jasmine Suannapura (106 to 100), all jumped into the top 100 this week. In Gee Chun (96 to 102), Brianna Do (100 to 103), and Jing Yan (97 to 104) all dropped out of the top 100.
