    There was a second of shock but it’s really no surprise.
    Whan was always positioning himself for bigger and better things eventually; simply by doing a good job for the lpga.
    He came in at the perfect time, when the tie was really struggling following questionable leadership, and leaves in the midst of a long steady climb.
    He surely has had some amazing new opportunities coming his way; now is just the time to take one.
