Maybe the post was to illustrate that those female players of Asian extraction, regardless of their present nationality, apply themselves well to this particular sport. No sleight there. Just acknowledgement of what seems evident in the graphic. Respectfully submitted for consideration

I guess I just don't see a problem here. When I watch either ladies or men's golf, I marvel at the skill they demonstrate, and not the nationality of the player. If you think there's a problem, you have a couple of options, which I will not enumerate.

The only thing you left off of this one is ‘respectfully submitted for consideration’!

I watched the tournament and saw a bunch of talented young ladies from around the world. Not sure what your point is. PS Andrea Lee is American.

Years ago I asked a golf instructor, who taught over there, why the Asians take to the game of golf faster and better. She said, it's because they have a shorter achilles tendon. I was befuddled. Because of this they have a better sense of balance. A much needed golf swing quality. In any sport there is a physical race advantage.

I asked an asian player, who practiced 8 hours a day, and gets followed by her family all along the way, unlike American drop off kids, what is the motivation. She said it was either golf or school and marriage...good motivation.... but let's not forget pride. A depleting American quality. Seems the American girls have less motivation.........

The mens tour is starting to see more and more asian players as well. Waiting to see the same type of leaderboard. The women, however, need to play longer and harder courses to be more interesting. And, golf announcers, coverage, are awful on the mens and ladies side.

Lastly, the golf ball doesn't know your race, it just knows a well struck shot. Maybe we should be like the golf ball. And, let's not get started on basketball players. We just have to be like the hoop. Appreciate the swish.........not the swisher.........

I took your initial post...as intended. At first glance, even to a non fan of the sport....is a ‘US Open’ graphic and then a leaderboard that looks like a lineup in the Nippon pro baseball league. Of course on here, everything devolves into a sexist, misogynistic or political accusation rant by those that continually miss the point.

I’ve been to one basketball game in my life and it was the women’s golf medal game in Atlanta. US vs Brazil. They shot lights out and were very entertaining. It’s not, a big man’s game, Caitlin Clark not only can shoot from anywhere but her playmaking skills are outstanding… a female Larry Bird maybe???

As for intl women in golf, I don’t understand why, maybe our girls are too busy into other things… parents not introducing them into golf, too expensive??? Someone should do a thesis on the subject.,

Wow !

There was a USGA Woman’s Open Championship this past weekend ?

LOL !!!!!

Yes, the point was pure unadulterated racism.

Most don't speak any English and most are not from the good ole USA.

The easy, LAZY, usual bailout drop!
That word is so watered down in its usage that you and others that use it constantly because you can't craft a thought provoked or educated retort......do a disservice to those that have truly been exposed to it historically.

I remember an interview with Gary Player where he said the best golfers would have a body like "Ally Oop".

Bingo!

My wife and I were spectators for a couple of days a few years back when the LPGA championship was held at Hazeltine National Golf Course near Minneapolis, MN. I still recall those willowy Asian ladies with a BMI of about zero walking nonchalantly up to the tee and--whack!--watching the ball disappear over the horizon.

My wife is Asian, so the fact that so many of the contestants were also Asian didn't surprise me in the least. It goes back to the work ethic extant in so many Asian cultures--and also among Asians in America. Those kids are brought up to excel: that the only guaranteed way to success is to work your butt off. So that is what they do. And the results are obvious.

There is a hard lesson to be learned here. What we are seeing is the inevitable result of the entitlement mentality so prevalent in America today. Yeah...these Asian kids succeed because they work their tails off--and not just in women's golf, but in education, the work place--you name it. All too often the non-Asian Americans don't.
