How exciting are the ladies right now?

The battle for supremacy in women’s golf is so tightly bunched that from one tournament to the next one will find it difficult to pick the winner. No longer are we seeing the lop-sided domination of previous years.

Karrie Webb is showing the most consistent form with several recent wins and a second over the weekend at the L.P.G.A. Championship.

Annika Sorenstam’s form is starting to return too. She finished with a tie for 9th at only three off the lead.

Si Ri Pak made a welcome return to the winners circle and has shown she is back with the vigor that is required to win major titles.

Michelle Wie, oh so close again. This has been said so many times it seems like a stutter but Michelle will hopefully clinch that maiden title and silence some of her critics.

Lorena Ochoa finished tied with Annika and is continuing her great form from earlier in the season.

This sort of close competition can only be good for women’s golf and the game in general. Keep it up ladies, I will certainly be watching.

Just when I was beginning to think the day would be determined by who made the worst mistakes, MW tanks a long one. Se Ri begins to tanks hers. Then oops--the yips to the Playoff. And what a play off.

Se Ri's win was incredible. A clunker off the tee. I don't think that was planned. Then the shot to inches from the pin.

Yes, it was exciting--just like the Kraft -Nabisco. I can't wait for the US Women's Open and the British Women's Open.

Take care.

The Ladies pga is indeed wonderful viewing but the mesn PGA tour events including the maters have such CRAP coverage, I ran my stop watch during thr John deere classic and over 2 hours , there was onyl 23 minutes of actual golf televised. During tennis coverage , say flushing meadows , veiwers see ALL the play but alas at us pga golf viewers see almost no golf, I dont bother now and even the highlights are crap , all score boards trees water blimp ryder cup everything but golfers making swings. Ive wrtten heaps of letters but never a reply. AND you say , well u cant change anything ? bUT the British open is televised SOO bloody marvelously , ITS ALL golf all golfers making golf swings , golf u know golf ?? so i only watch euro tour golf , THE americans cant do anything right.
i have tried to get BILL Macatees email so i can relate this imminent disaster to him VERY soon there will be no viewers
