It's interesting the way different nationalities react in response to the dominance of Asian woman players on the LPGA tour.
“They’re all coming. And it’s not stopping either.”
"I think we all knew that there are so many and they are playing so well and consistently and working so hard. Now we can see that the Asian Tour is becoming very strong. The top players are coming to the States and they can also win in the States. Before it was a different story. So the rest of us just need to prepare and continue working hard with so many more good players around.”
Take a WILD guess as to which sound byte belongs to the YT.
I'm also not too fond of the "Associated Press writer"'s inflammatory commentary:
Lorena Ochoa came to the Women’s British Open firmly established as the world No. 1 and strongly favored to retain the title she won last year at St. Andrew’s.
Instead, she was engulfed by the tide of Asian players who are threatening a takeover of the women’s game. Ochoa tied for seventh, but the top five were Asians, led by the winner, Ji-Yai Shin of South Korea.
Ochoa, who won four titles in succession on the LPGA Tour this year, acknowledged that it going to take a lot of hard work—even for her—to stem the tide of top players coming out of Asia.
.... now I can see that white women are just as xenophobically territorial as their brothers are.
