The LPGA is taking a 2 week break before starting its Asian swing. That part of the tour will be taking us to China, Malaysia, Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. The 2013 tour will then conclude with tournaments in Mexico and Florida.
With only 7 tournaments left on the schedule, I think now is a good time to look at some key statistics and notes from the first 21 tournaments.

Other Tidbits:

Titleholders Update:
Cindy LaCrosse, Rebecca Lee-Bentham, and Katherine Hull-Kirk, are the latest to qualify. Azahara Munoz continues to be the highest ranked player yet to qualify.
Rolex Movers of the Week:
Suzann Pettersen jumps over Stacy Lewis into the #2 spot this week. Lydia Ko continues her amazing leap to the top, moving from #8 to #5. Lexi Thompson achieves her highest ranking to date with a jump from #26 to #21, while Se Ri Pak vaults from #41 to #29. On the downside Catriona Matthew drops from #7 to #10. Yani Tseng, who started the year #1, and missed another cut this week, has now fallen all the way down to #19.
Who's Hot:
Suzanne Pettersen has not only won 2 consecutive tournaments, but has finished in the top 7 in each of her last 5 appearances.
Angela Stanford has 7 consecutive top 20 finishes.
Who's Not:
Yani Tseng has missed the cut in 5 of her last 7 tournaments.
Amy Yang has failed to record a top 30 finish in her last 5 tournaments.
Julieta Granada has failed to finish in the top 50 in her last 6 tournaments, with 4 missed cuts.
In a strange reversal of fortune, Giulia Sergas, who had 7 top 20 finishes in her first 10 events, has failed to finish in the top 40 in her last ten appearances.
