Title: US/Korean Women's Open Golf Championship
Post by: vu72 on July 17, 2017, 08:59:41 AM
So I settled in yesterday afternoon to watch the Women's US Open Golf Championship and found out that it is misnamed.  Clearly it should be the South Korean Women's Open Golf Championship, held in the United States.

Women's golf has really good players, most of whom have names which are difficult to pronounce.  Where are the US players?

Yesterday there were 62 players who made the cut. 8 of the top 10 finishers were Korean,12 of the top 20 and 15 of 62 players.

At the same time the top US player finished tied for 11th and there were 20 of the 62 players from the US.

In the World Rankings 5 of the top 10 are from Korea and only 1 from the US. 

You wonder why women's golf viewership is down.   :(

Koreans were not included in the current immigration ban. Oops, sorry  :banghead: Bad poster. Bad poster. Didn't mean to go sarcastic.
