In the TH last year the winner was Met

 

 

 

This week we go to Singapore for the HSBC.   Once again this is a limited field, no cut event.  Met loves this course and plays there all the time.  I am sure she will take off work just to give us all the gossip.

Lydia’s first win in 11 tries, she took home $360,000.   It has been on the schedule since 2008, when Lorena Ochoa was the champion.   In 2008 Lorena took home $300k out of a $2 Million purse.  The purse stayed the same in 2009 but dropped to ‘just’ $1.3 million when Ai Miyazato won in 2010.  The purse is $2.4 million this year.

 

 

 

 

 

FUN FACT:  Ai Miyazato was the first golfer to be ranked number one in the world without ever winning a major.
