Here's last week's Top 5 list as posted yesterday:
- Jiyai Shin, 10.06
- Cristie Kerr, 9.56
- Suzann Pettersen, 9.55
- Na Yeon Choi, 9.52
- Yani Tseng, 9.24
- Jiyai Shin, 10.17
- Yani Tseng, 9.80
- Cristie Kerr, 9.41
- Suzann Pettersen, 9.40
- Na Yeon Choi, 9.39
Ai Miyazato, sitting in sixth with 8.92 points, actually gained .02 points while doing nothing. I assume she dropped a low finish off the back of the ranking period. She's going to have her work cut out for her if she expects to challenge for the #1 spot soon.
Perhaps the Constructivist or Hound Dog would like to comment about this interesting turn of events. But if I was doing a Ruthless Golf World Rankings for the ladies (which TC asked about in a comment a couple of days ago), I would certainly have to put Yani Tseng at #1 right now. She has 6 wins over the last year:
- 2010 Women's Australian Open (LET, ALPG)
- 2010 Kraft Nabisco Championship (LPGA)
- 2010 Ricoh Women's British Open (LPGA, LET)
- 2010 P&G NW Arkansas Championship (LPGA)
- 2011 Taifong Ladies Open (LPGA Taiwan)
- 2011 Women's Australian Open (LET, ALPG)
I couldn't find out if Tseng plans to play in the ANZ RACV Ladies Masters in Queensland this week, but I'll be surprised if she doesn't. After all, she's already there and warmed up. I think Yani would like my suggestion of changing the name of the Rolex to "the Brawl for #1." Whether you agree with me or not, one thing is certain...
The Brawl is definitely on!
The year of the Tseng ! Of all the players in the bunch at the top, Tseng just looks like the one that can step up and get aggressive with a tournament.
ReplyDeleteShin will grind you to death. And the other three are hot and cold from week to week. Could be a fun year !
