Nelly Korda has all but wrapped up LPGA player of the year. Lydia Ko would make for a good debate
Doug Ferguson, Associated Press | Posted Oct. 22 - 1:12 p.m. | Save Story
The LPGA Tour determines its player of the year by points, and Nelly Korda has virtually locked that up. Using points instead of a player vote eliminates any subjectivity. But it sure could have been a fascinating debate between Korda and Lydia Ko. Korda is No. 1 for a reason. She's won six times this year, including a major and a record-tying streak of five in a row. Ko has won four times. But one of those was an Olympic gold medal that got her into the LPGA Hall of Fame. Another was a Women's British Open at St. Andrews.

Joel Dahmen had the worst penalty at the worst time in the Shriners Children's Open in Las Vegas. Dahmen realized on the fourth tee he had an extra 4-iron in his golf bag. That gave him 15 clubs, one over the limit. The penalty is a maximum of four strokes. He went from even par to 4-over par. He had to sign for a 76. That leaves him a long shot to make the cut. The timing was crucial because Dahmen is at No. 124 in the FedEx Cup. Only the top 125 keep full cards for next season.
