I was just checking the whole leaderboard on The Golf Channel website. There are only about 40 American girls
who even qualified for our Open!! And of those 40, only two.....Alison Corpuz and Bailey Tardy.....are in the top 20...!!!
WTH is wrong with the American girls???? I realize it's only the second round, but .......?????
Spuzz Right, had they looked at the ball flight, they would spend the time looking behind the bushes. Now if I played and paid $500+ green fee, that ball better had jumped out onto the green.
The on course interview with Hannah Green was pretty good.

It was OB behind there.
There was a posse that started looking before Ko left the tee box and nothing.
After she showed up, she had 3 mins to find it, but really only pretended to look, as the ruling would have left her in a worse spot than the provisional bunker did.
At 500 bucks a round, they need to put hockey rinks boards around that hole LOL
Just heard that the winner gets $2 million this week. The entire purse next week is only $1.75 million. 
Spuzz the purpose for finding it was to hit a 2nd shot from the tee after taking an unplayable from where it was found as there would have been no where to drop and her original provisional would have been null and void. She would have then had to retee as that is an option with an unplayable. Would have likely been better off vs. where whe was on the provisional. I would have tried like hell to find that ball.
ode Agreed, the entire thing and group seemed to not care at the least.
ode If you recall the size of the bushes, you'd realize there may not have been any room for relief anyway, esp. if it was to be on the backside of them. In a case such as that, you never want to find the ball; take the stroke you will have to take either way, and just re-tee, as she did. Smart move, imo. Just an overcompensated shot cost her more than she should have had.
Been there, done that. Tooo many times!
The Marquee TV group is Sorenstam, Wie West, and Chun (current player), really USA network, watching bogey golf.
Spuzz When I was stationed out that way, it was only $185 then but still outpriced us AF types. We would go play Ft Ord (closed) gold courses, very nice and same views. When they closed Ft Ord they gave the golf course away or sold it, I see it in the rotation for US Open qualifying and the same for PGA Tour local qual. $30 vs $185 wasn't too hard.
Lived up to the joke, "The coldest I've been was a day in the Bay area in the summer".
I do know that after Se Ri Pak came on the scene in the late 90’s that South Korea really invested in women’s golf big time.
I worked with a woman from South Korea and Se Ri Pac was huge. She even started playing golf in her 40’s because of Pak.
Pak’s success (25 wins / 5 majors) has paid off for women’s golf in South Korea. That evidence is clear.
So, my guess is we just haven’t invested in women’s golf certainly as much as other countries, i.e. South Korea.

Not sure if you are married to an American woman or not, but just an FYI......they don't really want to be told what to do or when to do it.
Might explain the lack of results for American female golfers.
Bravopilot That was yesterday. Have not seen 1 shot from them today.
Par4QC Now you tell me, thought it was I am as pretty as I can be.
Par4QC No today, might be sparing you, the mid-western crowd, they have slowed down showing them since they are not doing well.
Indeed......would have been painful to watch as the two prior swings were TRBL.
.....didn't appear to be trying very hard to find ball.
