LPGA HSBC 223


                      This Week We Stay with the LPGA for the

                                       HSBC Championship

 

 

 

 

Held at the Sentosa Golf Club

6749 yards  Par 72

 

Singapore

 

 

 

Defending Champion is Jin Young Ko

 

 

 

 

Looks a Lot Like the 2022 Winner

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the TH last year the winner was Met

 

 

And how old was Lexi here?

 

 

This week we go to Singapore for the HSBC, and how appropriate our host is the defending TH champion.  (and won again last just last week)  Once again this is a limited field, no cut event.  In fact the field this week is going to give everyone déjà vu.

 

I am sure Met will take off work just to give us all the gossip

 

 

This event has been on the schedule since 2008 when Lorena Ochoa was the champion.   Not only is Jin Young Ko a two time defending champion, the last four winners have come from South Korea.  The last non-Korean winner was Michelle Wie in 2018.

 

 

hard to believe Nike thought that was a winning look

 

 

In 2008 Lorena took home $300k out of a $2 Million purse.  The purse stayed the same in 2009 but dropped to ‘just’ $1.3 million when Ai Miyazato won in 2010.  The purse still has not rebounded, and this year will be $1.8 million.

 

 

 

 

 

 

FUN FACT:  Ai Miyazato was the first golfer to be ranked number one in the world without ever winning a major.

 

 

Four and an Alt

and whatever we decided that means in a no cut event
