As we approach the end of 2024,
We’ve seen performances that will go down in L-P-G-A lore.
*
Those seven wins by Nelly Korda deserve top billing,
As her five straight wins were simply thrilling.
*
After Nelly won Chevron, she jumped in that big pond.
It’s a Chevron champions’ aquatic bond.
*
Hannah Green had two wins in Asia and one in L-A.
Her Wiltshire win was a clinic of how to play on the L-P-G-A.
*
There were another three victories by Ronny Yin,
One was a victory in Shanghai, a hometown win.
*
Lauren Coughlin had two wins in her breakout year.
Expect more success from Lauren as I don’t expect her to disappear.
*
What can be written or said about Lydia Ko that we already don’t know?
*
Her Olympic win put her in the L-P-G-A Hall of Fame.
To earn that honor, you must have a top-notch game.
*
Lydia is the only golfer with Olympic medals colored bronze, silver, and gold.
That kind of athletic success is historic and never gets old.
*
One of Lydia’s big wins was The Open at St. Andrews on the Old Course.
She won because she avoided the pot bunkers and the thick, nasty gorse.
*
The Evian winner was Ayaka Furue who won in France.
She prevailed because she knew when to throw caution-to-the-wind…..and take a chance.
*
At Evian, Jodie Ewart-Shadoff missed the cut by far,
But her first-round ace won her a brand new Porsche car!
*
Yuka Saso’s U.S. Open win was the result of superior play.
She clearly loved that U.S. Open layout in Lancaster, P-A.
*
Amy Yang won the P-G-A, sponsored by K-P-M-G.
That Sahalee win was simply meant to be.
*
Linnea Strom’s final-round Shoprite-60 was finished well before TV coverage began.
To win, she had to patiently wait and watch the golf like a fan.
*
Jasmine Suwanapura picked up her third career win at Walmart’s Pinnacle C-C.
That means she’ll wear three facial victory stars for all to see.
*
The Solheim Cup attracted a large crowd every day.
The vast majority of fans were there to cheer for Team U-S-A.
*
U.S. captain Stacey Lewis led her team with her heart and soul.
Winning the Solheim Cup was always her goal.
*
At Solheim, the most enthusiastic U.S. player was Megan Khang.
She led by example for the rest of the U.S. gang.
*
This poem also honors Ally Ewing and Brittany Lincicome who are jumping off the L-P-G-A ‘train,’
They will soon start living life in a different lane.
*
We will still see Lexi Thompson compete from time to time.
But, the exact details won’t be revealed in this year’s rhyme.
*
Finally, Jeeno Thitikull’s win at CME will go down in history,
The key to her win was the 3-3-3 finish to secure the victory.
*
Roses are red and violets are blue.
It’s always an honor crafting this poem for each of you.
