, I'll move forward with my LPGA Top 30 predictions today with numbers 26-30. You can see the five talented ladies whom I don't think will make it here. The next group of ladies have one common bond, they are American! They will lead the charge against those pesky Korean speaking Koreans who are ruining our Red, White, & Blue Tour. I kid, I kid, but if any of these ladies get hot they just might be able to join Paula Creamer as potential saviors for the LPGA!

#30 - Mina Harigae

The 2010 Rookie and 2009 Duramed Futures Tour Player of the Year was a teenage phenom in her amatuer days. Winning the 2007 Women's Amateur Public Links and being a 3-time Rolex AJGA All-American First Team Selection. Despite only being 20 years old Mina seems to understand her body and mind, and chose not to utilize her battlefield promotion for winning 3 times on the DFT last year. This type of maturity may mean she makes fewer starts then some of the others, but I think will insure that they will be mostly of quality.

#29 - Morgan Pressel

This scrappy American has all the tools to be a major force on the LPGA tour, with one major exception, her driving distance. Only averaging a little more then 240 yards per drive really hurts her. Despite this, she still managed 5 top 10s for a top 30 season in 2009. With two runner-ups last year Pressel can certainly add to her win total, but I don't expect her to crack the top 10 (or 20 for that matter) like she did in 07, when she won the Kraft Nabisco Championship.

#28 - Kristy McPherson

Year-in and year-out Kristy McPherson is improving. Without a doubt one of the biggest success stories of the Golf Channel program, the Big Break. McPherson is inches away from breaking through for her first victory on tour, recording two runner ups, a T3 and 3 other top 10 finishes in 2009. If she can get her driver straighter and putter going (two stats where Kristy finished in the middle in 2009) she could certainly garner that elusive first victory.

#27 - Jane Park

With two top 10s in her first three starts of 2009 I thought Jane Park was due for her official breakout year. Then her chronic back injury severely hampered her season, forcing her to withdraw or not start in 6 events through the year. If Jane is healthy expect her to be one of the bright spots next year, which would be a beautiful thing for this talented player plagued by injuries.

#26 - Amanda Blumenhurst

The Q-School medalist with the highest expectations on her, is also my pick for rookie of the year. Her senior season at Duke was far from her best, but she isn't far removed from being a U.S. Women's Amateur Champion (2008) or a three-time National Collegiate Player of the Year. If she doesn't allow all the expectations to bog her down, expect her to shine through a deceptively strong rookie class.
