The LPGA is in Singapore for the HSBC Women's Champions, and one thing the tournament on the LPGA's Asian excursions know how to do is throw a party. Here are some photos posted by LPGA players after attending the welcome party: (Photo: @JessicaKorda /twitter.com) Above is Jessica Korda with Michelle Wie. And happy 20th birthday to Jessica - she was able to celebrate at this party. And yes, Korda is a little taller than Michelle in this pic. Blame it on the shoes.

And now, she's a college graduate. So Yeon attended her graduation ceremony on Monday in Korea at Yonsei University, from which she now holds a degree in Sports Business. Ryu was a junior at the time of her U.S. Open victory, and has completed her studies since then while balancing life as a professional golfer. Yonsei is one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Korea, located in Seoul.

And to help promote its new Cobra AMP Cell driver, Cobra is giving away a golf vacation to California that includes one of the new drivers plus - and this is the important part! - a round of golf with Blair.

And don't worry, the only thing about her that bites are her wedges into greens.
