Pick who you predict will be 2012 Rookie of the Year on the LPGA. Pick from among pre-selects or write in Someone Else.

If you want to be correct in this poll you must vote for Lexi, otherwise you will be wrong.

Sorry gxer. I'm going to have to choose experience over youth here. I'm going with So Yeon Ryu. Its definitely not the fact I don't consider Lexi a super talent....I do. I just believe Ryu's experience gives her an edge over Lexi.

Fan like this makes you wish Lexi Thompson doesn't win ROY. I used to root for Lexi until Gxer became "the equivalent of the Wiemaniacs of yesteryears!"

Now, he is worse than Boola aka Updev.

I'm voting for everyone on the list except Lexi and So Yeon Ryu because I have a bet with X-man. I don't care who wins as long as it's not either of those two.

MarinePaul · 01-13-2012, 09:49 PM

I'm going with Ryu also. Experience and maturity count.

Mr.JRo · 01-13-2012, 09:56 PM

I pick Danielle Kang.

IMO...it will be a 2 gal race between Ryu and Lexi.

I can't comment on how dedicated Ryu will be to play a full LPGA tour schedule.
If she finds a experienced caddy that she bonds well with and handles the travel well outside of Asia.....I'm giving a slight edge to Ryu.

Mr.JRo -

Danielle Kang is a nonstarter. Yes, she had a very successful amateur career winning back-to-back U.S. Women's Amateurs. But she performed very poorly in Q-School and as a result barring an sponsor's exemption, I don't believe we will not be seeing her tee off in an LPGA tournament this year. Her priority status at this time is #262.

Thanks prime007, I didnt really look at that, I saw her at the Wegmans in New York and was impressed with her fan friendly personality. Guess Im just kind of pulling for her because I saw her in person and she was very fan friendly.

I actually do not see any way that Lexi Thompson does not win rookie of the year. she has a complete game and as she gains experience and strength she is going to be an awesome player. I see her being top 3 within 3 years.
