....how could any true golf fan NOT like her?..........with what she had to go through with her mother...........and the way she has matured to a responsible young gun on the LPGA tour........what's NOT to like?...........

Boola, I may have underestimated you.

By the way, I understand how you could miss which folder you post in. I did that once in the folder I avoid. No harm, no foul.

I think time is running out for Michelle to be the youngest girl / lady to win a Major.
This significant LPGA accomplishment is reserved for Morgan to cherish!

That's a great point. They should talk about the people who're "doing it" , not someone who's not in the mix.

Three questions.....
1. Which one has a win?... and a major, at that!
2. Care to talk about how they've done this year?
3. Which one finishes her rounds?

That's a pretty rare thing... kudos to him.

It's damned nearly unheard of.

I just noticed this post xman5.........since somebody else decided to re-open the thread..........What I will write about is your last sentence.........I say they ARE competing against each other..........and here's WHY........let's take last year's Evian Masters in France.......the young lady that finished T-25 collected a check for $29,815.........the youngest woman in the tournament.....not mentioning any names........... finished T-2 and collected $255,333........that is a difference of OVER A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS.........$225,518 to be exact..............so they ARE competing for MONEY.........one of them gets a top 5 AND a top 10.........the other does not even get a top 20.........they ARE competing for THAT too........also if both of them are LPGA members......they are competing for Solheim Cup points.........ADT points......Rolex world ranking points.........the list could go on and on........

Rivalry is the spark the LPGA and PGA tours both need. Annika and Karrie were great rivals at one time and then Tiger and........well ok that was a bad example.

How about Jack and Arnie who became great friends in spite of their competitive nature?

Rivalries create excitement and I can't think of a better one than Michelle and Morgan.

I think the future is very bright for both of these young ladies and I for one am looking forward to their rivalry.

First of all, a quarter of a million dollars is $250,000, so you once again overstated. The real point, though, is that one, not mentioning any names, has a win, which happens to be a major, and the other hasn't won squat.

Oh, yeah, the one with the win actually has finished the tournaments she's played in.

That's no contest! As far as golf is concern, Michelle is done. She's better off going to Stanford and finish her degree in Psychiatry so she can help some of the wiemaniacs recover from their traumas and disappointments!
