MJ Hur Cashes In

- Mi Jung Hur had a terrible 2013, and was on her way to another terrible year when she posted her first top 10 of the season in Portland. That opened the flood gates, as she posted her best finish ever in a major at the Evian and now she walks away with her second career victory in Prattville. Hur didn't just pick up the trophy, either. She went out and won it, shooting a final round 66 with the top player in the world chasing her. A clutch performance from someone who has seen the highs and lows of golf.

- Stacy Lewis has won three times this season. She has also finished runner-up a pronominal five times. Lewis needed a big week before heading to Asia, and she got it. The next six weeks is going to be a sprint to the finish between Lewis and Inbee Park, who is hot on her heels for both Player Of The Year and Rolex Number One.

- I'm sure Yokohama Tires would have loved to see the top players in the world compete in their event, but as a fan of the LPGA, it was great to see some of the players who don't get the opportunity to contend on a weekly basis towards the top of the leaderboard on Sunday. Paula Reto? Kris Tamulis? Cydney Clanton? These three had a combined five CAREER top 10's, and yet there they are on Sunday chasing a title. It was great to see.

- If you blinked, you probably missed Moriya Jutanugarn notching her second straight top 10. The reigning Rookie Of The Year has struggled this season, but was able to find something at the Evian Championship to finish T10, and was incredibly consistent this week on her way to a T5 finish (along with Jodi Ewart Shadoff, another name I haven't heard in a little while.) Moriya struggled on the Asian swing last year, so I'm sure she's going to have extra motivation coming down the stretch.

- The Web.com Tour Finals ended this week, and 50 PGA Tour cards were handed out. You can find the list of players here. I will do a full breakdown of these players in a blog post later this week.

- The Symetra Tour also wrapped this week as the LPGA handed our 10 cards to their graduates. These graduates can be found here. What is interesting is that there is a mix of rookies as well as past LPGA players, but none of them are older than 27. The one that will attract the most media attention will be Sadena Parks, who was the first African-American to win twice on the Symetra Tour. My eyes, however, will be on 18 year old Cindy Feng, who will be a rookie next year despite playing in five LPGA events this season. Feng tied for 13th at the US Women's Open and made the cut last week at the Yokohama Tires Classic.
