Seattle Sports

The LPGA Tour has been on fire this season, and Hyo Joo Kim is leading the charge. The South Korean golfer has been on a tear, winning two tournaments and finishing in the top 10 in five of her last six starts. She currently leads the tour in scoring average, and is in a strong position to take home the Player of the Year award.

Kim’s success has been especially impressive given her young age. At just 21 years old, she is the youngest player to ever lead the tour in scoring average. Her poise and maturity on the course have been remarkable, and she has quickly become one of the best players in the world.

Kim is not alone in her success, however. American Lexi Thompson is tied for third on the tour, and is also having a great season. Thompson has won two tournaments this year, and has finished in the top 10 in four of her last five starts. She is currently second in scoring average, and is in contention for Player of the Year honors.

The two players have formed a formidable duo at the top of the LPGA Tour leaderboard. Kim and Thompson have been pushing each other to new heights, and their success has been a major boost for the tour. With both players playing at such a high level, it’s no wonder that the LPGA Tour is having one of its best seasons ever.

It will be exciting to see how Kim and Thompson fare in the coming weeks. With both players playing so well, it’s likely that one of them will take home the Player of the Year award. Either way, it’s clear that Hyo Joo Kim and Lexi Thompson are two of the best players in the world, and they are leading the LPGA Tour to new heights.
