MARINA ALEX

Growing up near New York City gives a big-city bite to her humor. This Jersey girl by way of Vanderbilt University is sneaky funny, the humor often delivered in the form of a sarcastic one-liner about the difficulties of golf or the travails of travel. Earlier this year she tweeted: "Hey @Qantas do you know your US reservations number is an automated sex hotline?... Just a heads up. Might want to look into that"

TIFFANY JOH

Anyone who alternately dons onesies of a shark, an alligator and a unicorn is, well, wacky. A classically trained pianist out of UCLA, Joh also makes parody music videos under the YouTube account "cupofjoh." Check out "What's Up With Lexi?" and "Grip It" with the bass cranked. Also look for her pithy photo captions on Instagram. After the U.S. Women's Open, she tweeted: "Bye lancaster! Amish you already!"

The lady has absolutely no edit button. At a cold, damp tournament someone commented on the weather, and she grabbed her breasts with both hands and said, "I've got my girls to keep me warm." As one of her best friends says, "It's pretty much verbal diarrhea." As soon as the ball leaves her clubface she's either yelling instructions or colorfully admonishing it.

JESSICA KORDA

Anyone who fires her caddie at the turn in the third round of the U.S. Women's Open is an odd duck. In 2013 at Sebonack Golf Club, she did just that when she replaced Jason Gilroyed with her boyfriend, Johnny DelPrete. "I knew I needed to switch and just have a little bit more fun out there," Korda said. It worked, as the free spirit played the back nine six shots better. Another time she tweeted: "Well today Sucked, at least my socks are cool #Adidas #3"

MICHELLE WIE

Four years at Stanford University helped the phenom find her voice and the confidence to be unselfconsciously herself. "She's such a dork," says one close friend. "She never ceases to amaze me with her terrible, terrible taste in movies." She also remains a proud daughter of Stanford's Nerd Nation. During the NCAA women's golf final she tweeted: "Was supposed to head to the proam party an hour ago but I can't leave the TV until it's done!!!! #nerdnation"Related: The 5 Funniest PGA Tour Players >
