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.

      That is speculation of course.

          ,🙃Indeed......would have been painful to watch as the two prior swings were TRBL.

          I wonder if she knew the extent of the rule🤔.....didn't appear to be trying very hard to find 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!😫

                    Par4QC the retee was for OB or lost ball. The benefit of finding was to retee for unplayable as her OB/not found provisional was in a bad spot! IMO she would have ended up no worse then 7 with decent odds on a 6 having to retee for unplayable, but🤔

                        She shit her pants with her bunker shot, just as Paige was saying how great her short game was, man or woman.
                        lmao

                          ode Made me go to the rule book, damn you. 😅
                          Now I understand; the found ball would essentially wipe out the provisional, giving her yet a 3rd shot to hit the green.
                          Might even have got a Par, if found!!

                              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.

                                        😜

                                            Par4QC No today, might be sparing you, the mid-western crowd, they have slowed down showing them since they are not doing well.

                                                Bravopilot They did just show them, all 3. Chun is doing great. Annika looks great.
                                                That is all.

                                                  Bravopilot Yeah, most of them got a bit too wrapped up with IG and all that media shit. And boys. And babies. "Side hustles". 😉

                                                    Par4QC yeah,let's just say I learned something too🙃. I would have played a wrong ball in the scenario where the ball was found but unplayable and been DQ,d🤔 or 🤔🤔
