All golfers on here need to watch the video of her 75' putt. It is a sight to behold.

First let me give a big congratulations to Paula Creamer for winning the 2014 HSBC Women's Champions.
It was Paula's tenth career victory and she certainly did it in spectacular fashion.

The LPGA has now completed the first four tournaments, or 1/8 of its 2014 schedule.
It is always great to get off to a good start. I don't think it is too early to take a look and see how our favorite players are performing. More times than not, a player's start will set the tone for the rest of the season.

On that note let us look at some of the more important statistics of the 2014 season: (A player must have played in a minimum of 2 events to qualify)

After a two week break, the LPGA moves to the state of Arizona for the playing of the JTBC Founders Cup. This will be the first of 12 consecutive tournaments to be played in North America.

As many of you may remember, this tournament was first played back in 2011 and was played strictly as a charitable event. There was no purse or prize money of any kind. The tournament was won that year by Karrie Webb. Things have certainly changed since then as this is now a full field event with a generous purse, and has attracted a first class field. We can all look forward to a "shootout" as 34 players shot -10 or better last year. The cut of -2 was the lowest of the season.

This will be tournament number 5 of 32 on the 2014 LPGA schedule.
Here are the key details:

This week the LPGA moves to the state of California for the playing of the Kia Classic. Many of you may remember last year's exciting finish, when Beatriz Recari won in a playoff over I.K. Kim. Cristie Kerr, Pornanong Phatlum, and Mo Martin finished one shot back. This tournament has a history of first time winners. Hee Kyung Seo and Sandra Gal both got their first LPGA victories at the Kia Classic.

This will be tournament #6 of 32 on this year's LPGA schedule.
