Sei Young Kim is leading in the Tour’s Rookie of the Year race and she’s holding a solid 3rd place in the Player of the Year contest, trailing Inbee Park by 122 points going into the fall events.

    • With rookie year victories at the Pure Silk LPGA Bahamas and the LOTTE Championship, Kim’s clearly a force to be reckoned with, but does she have the juice to collect another 150 points in wins and high finishes between now and the end of the season?

    This is when experience tends to pay big dividends.  Kim has had a splendid season, and if it were a closer contest I’d be more likely to give her better odds of passing Inbee Park.  But I think Kim will not make significant progress during the season’s final events and won’t seriously challenge Park’s lead in this race.

    However, until Kim holed out from the fairway I thought Park would beat her in Hawaii.
