LAGT: 2010 Thailand Ladies Open

bangkokbobby · 02-13-2010, 08:45 PM

Just a refresher...the Ladies Asian Golf Tour is a mini-tour that started in 2005. The number of tournaments had decreased the last two years but 2010 has six tournaments scheduled, the tour's high to date. One tournament, the Suzhou Taihu Ladies Open is co-sponsored with the Ladies European Tour (LET) and China Golf Association.

Although a mini-tour where up and coming local Asian players can get much needed professional tournament experience, the LAGT has had some notable winners such as:

Annika Sorenstam (2008 Suzhou Taihu Ladies Open)

Ji Yai Shin (2007 Thailand Ladies Open)

Yani Tseng (2007 DLF Women's Indian Open)

Eun Hee Ji (2006 Malaysian Ladies Open, 2006 Macau LAGT Championship)

Hee Kyung Seo (2008 Binhai Open)

Hee Young Park (2005 Thailand Ladies Open)

...last year's winner was former Purdue Golfer, Thailand's Onnarin Sattayabanphot (her Thai nickname is Moo)

I don't yet have the complete entry list yet for the 2010 event, which covers three rounds from February 24th thru 26th, but Virada Nirapathpongporn and Russy Gulyanamitta are said to have committed to play...

...I also hope Stacy Prammanasudh plays, as she did in 2009...

...and now she can start adding 2010 hardware to her trophy case!

...I'm happy for Jung Min...I like the Korean ladies that can really crush it off the tee, among others...gotta keep an eye on this young lady...to paraphrase Palpatine...we will be watching her career with great interest...

...still, always a little bummed when Virada does not play to potential...but I hold out hope that she will have that one weekend soon that things come together, she plays well and gets that spark of confidence that she needs...
