Let’s take a look at the weekend’s Tour events.

Tiger Woods is $1.3 million richer since winning the WGC-NEC Invitational yesterday, beating out runner-up Chris DiMarco by one stroke, and the Safeway Classic was won by none other than … a Korean. Soo-Yun Kang picked up her first LPGA victory at the Safeway Classic in Portland, Oregon.

And she didn't just win it, she crushed it. Wire-to-wire (64, 68, 69 in the three-round tourney) to win by four strokes--and that was with a bogey on 18.

Good Lord, did you see the Safeway leaderboard? All five of the top spots were occupied by Koreans. In 1997, there wasn’t a single Korean on the LPGA. Now there are 26.

What has happened to the daughters of the Land of the Morning Calm in the last eight years to create this international phenomenon?

Whatever it is they’re putting in the Seoul water supply apparently has no effect on males. Don’t Korean men play golf too? There are only three playing on the PGA Tour, and they’re not exactly setting new records. What’s up with that?
