The Lee Park Golf Association or LPGA

Looks like white women just want to take instagram photos in golf gear, not actually play.

This bothers me not at all since I could care less about women’s sports.

Wake me up if a hot one shows up on the tour.

The Women's PGA Championship, a major, was played this past week in Washington State. Actually its full name is the KPMG Women's PGA Championship as even majors now have corporate names, at least on the LPGA Tour. The PGA Tour won't be far behind, the players are already wallpapered in various corporate logos.

And at the top of the leaderboard we find:

Yang (winner)
Ko
Vu
Yamashita
Ewing
Hartlage
Saigo
Shibuno

Nelly Korda missed the cut, shooting a Tiger Woods-like 81 in the second round. It was her third straight missed cut coming on the heels of her record winning streak earlier in the year.

Flipped to the Golf Channel. Live coverage of the NCAA Women’s National Championship Match: Stanford vs Northwestern match play. 10 women competitors…not a single White (or black.). Mostly Asians, it looks like a South American and maybe an Arab.

The leaderboard of this week's LPGA event, the Mexico Riviera Maya Open:

Bae -6
Do -5
Wang -5
Choi -4
Lee5 -4 (There are so many Koreans on the tour with the last name Lee that they're now numbered)
Ruffels -4
Shin -4
Yan -4

Trying to win her first U.S. Open, Nellie Korda is tied for the lead going into the final round at -6. She is tied with Kim, followed by Chun, Kupcho, Hataoka, Lopez, Yin, Lee, and You. Kupcho is a White American, Lopez is a White Mexican, the others, well, it's obvious what part of the world they come from.

Nellie remains the number one ranked female golfer in the world rankings.

Nelly Korda wins the women's U.S. Open by one shot. It's her first U.S. Open title, fourth major, and 19th LPGA title and she's still only 27 years old.

Great news! Was it mentioned that both of her parents were professional tennis players, Petr Korda and Regina Rajchrtová? Her sister is also a pro golfer and her brother is a pro tennis player. Quite the family!

Her athletic family genes are reminiscent of the McCaffreys of football (and sprinting). With her tall and lean physique, Nelly likely could have been a professional tennis player if she had chosen that sport. But she obviously picked the right one as the long-time Asian dominance of women's golf has been interrupted at the top by the ongoing Nelly Korda era.
