Asian Lady Golfers -- What's Not To Like?

Over on Sportsdot, they're discussing the rising presence of South Koreans in women's golf. From the original article:
3 years ago, 30 year old LPGA Veteran Jan Stephenson made headlines when she said "...“Asians are killing our tour. Absolutely killing it...The people who watch are predominantly male, and they won’t keep watching if the girls aren’t beautiful..."
Although Stephenson's comments were well received by South-African PGA golfer Bobby Lincoln, the LPGA distanced itself from the comments, pointing out that attendance and ratings were at an all time high.
So you can imagine how Stephenson feels today when the New York Times declares that South Korea is the face of the LPGA.
