Player of the Year Award and Vare Trophy

[bobawiefan]

Hello Wie Nation:

Moving the “Rolex Player of the Year Award” to Stats:

Copied from the Michelle Featured on CNN Thread…..

“Rolex World No. One…
Stacy Lewis has 617.38 total points
Michelle has 324.53 total points
Michelle is 292.85 points behind Stacy; and I don’t believe there are enough points to be gained by Michelle’s in her last 6 tournaments to overcome Stacy’s lead as World Number One…

But, there is an outside chance for Michelle to Win the Player of the Year Award?

The Rolex Player of the Year is awarded based on a formula in which points are awarded for top-10 finishes and are doubled at the LPGA's four major championships and at the season-ending Tour Championship. The points system is: 30 points for first; 12 points for second; nine points for third; seven points for fourth; six points for fifth; five points for sixth; four points for seventh; three points for eighth; two points for ninth and one point for 10th.
1 Lewis, Stacy 212
2 Park, Inbee 171
3 Wie, Michelle 151
4 Ko, Lydia 134
5 Thompson, Lexi 106

Michelle is 61 points behind Stacy….And Stacy is playing the Reignwood LPGA Classic and the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia tournaments…While Michelle is not listed the final field of those two tournaments??

Michelle is listed in the final field of the LPGA KEB · HanaBank Championship,
the Blue Bay LPGA, and the Fubon LPGA Taiwan Championship tournaments…
As of now, there is no final field for the MIZUNO CLASSIC, Lorena Ochoa Invitational Presented by Banamex, and the CME Group Tour Championship

An outside chance to win Player of the Year?”

The points system is:
30 points for first;
12 points for second;
9 points for third;
7 points for fourth;
6 points for fifth;
5 points for sixth;
4 points for seventh;
3 points for eighth;
2 points for ninth.
1 point for tenth

Bob, what do you think of Michelle's chance to win the Vare Trophy?
Michelle and Inbee scores are pretty close.
With Stacy not playing for two weeks could the scoring totals change very much?
Thanks...

Teeshot, I think Michelle has a good chance of winning the Vare Trophy…
She’s fresh, hungry and ready to play some golf; and all she needs to do is stay healthy…
(keep out of the dirt)??
There are 6 tournaments left; and that’s a lot of golf…Michelle said she had 5 tournaments left?
We have to wait to see what her game plan will be in playing the rest of the golfing season?
Barring injury, the next 6 weeks is going to be exciting for Wie Nation....

Michelle went to Number #1 in Scoring when she came in 2nd at the Kraft and stayed at Number #1 when she won in Hawaii. The following tournament Stacy went to Number #1.
Michelle slipped to number #3 twice but since then she remains Number #2 in Scoring. I'm kind of surprised Stacy in not playing for two weeks with Number #1 in the world on the line. Whew! Pressure from KO and Park!
