Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship

[tonyj5]

Now that we have completed another exciting tournament, let me congratulate Suzann Pettersen for her win at the HanaBank Championship. Suzann came out victorious, defeating Catriona Matthew on the third playoff hole. It was Suzanne's first win of the 2012 season.

The tour moves to Taiwan this week for the playing of the Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship. It is stop number three on the current four-stop Asian swing. It will conclude next week in Japan.

This is tournament number 24 of 27 this year. Here are the key details:

Petterson looked pretty good when I watched it a bit late last night. Like she's lost some weight. I've been in Taiwan. Taipei. Keelung. Kaosiung. But back then they didn't have any golf courses. There's a Taiwanese guy on the senior tour. I like his style. I think his name is Mr. Lu.
