Since there is a pga q-school topic and no lpga school topic.
Does nobody care that Ai Miyazato beat the field by 12 shots? Impressive?
Oh yah, she's competing in a mens tournament in Japan, Thursday week, and could well be the first woman to make a cut in a mens pro tournament since Babe. Go Ai Miyazato.

It looks like this next generation of LPGA golfers is going to be VERY COMPETITVE. That's great for women's golf!
In any case, I'm guessing that the Japanese Tour is probably a long way ahead of the Korean tour.
Probably so, but it was a men's professional tournament. Korean Tour , Japanese Tour, Australian Tour, and to some extent European Tour.........while still a significant achievement, a female making the cut on any of these tours will not achieve the notoriety of one making the cut on the PGA Tour.

I would rate making a cut on the European tour, only just behind making a cut on the pga tour. In some European events, it would be a greater achievement to make a cut, than in some of the smaller pga events.
The Japanese tour would be next.
The Australian tour is nearly on a par with the lpga now. Isn't it?
In the Japanaese Tournament, Ai Miyazato had rounds of 80 and 78, on a par 71 course, to finish at 16 over. That's the cut missed by 12 shots.
Ai Miyazato v's Wie
Wie, missed by 1 (+4)
Miyazato, missed by 12 (+16)
Of course, some people here would like us to believe that a missed cut, is a missed cut, and it doesn't matter where you finish.
Miyazato's performance shows just how well Wie did.

That comparison only holds water if the tournament was played on the same course and under the same conditions. That's not meant to detract from Wie's performance, but rather in fairness to Miyazato.

Miryazato had a triple bogie on day one on hole 15, where she hit it from bunker to bunker to bunker and then failed to get out of the bunker with her next shot.
Then on day 2, the 1st hole was 444 yards.
Ai hit the ball 290 yards with the assistance of wind. Yet she ended up with a triple bogie there.
In order to win the lpga q-school by 12 shots, she cannot be that bad of a player. I think the pressure just got to her.
Fair play to her for trying.
