ode IMO she would have ended up no worse then 7

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 🤔🤔

                                This is the first time Shotlink has been used at a LPGA tournament.

                                Leader Bailey Tardy hit the longest drive yesterday (323) on the 9th hole.

                                "American bomber Bailey Tardy unlikely leader at US Women's Open."

                                "Tardy holed a 20-foot birdie putt on her fourth extra hole to secure a spot at Pebble Beach Golf Links in Pebble Beach, California, for her fourth U.S. Women's Open start. Now, the 26-year-old, ranked No. 455 in the world, finds herself the unlikely leader at the midway point of this historic championship."

                                  Chamblee is complaining that the par 5s are too long and isn't exciting enough. Does he know this is a US Open?

                                    backinit he's not wrong....there needs to be more risk reward IMO...i.e. if very few can reach there is no risk to take. I'm all for 3 shotters but 1 maybe 2 per 18. Short knockers aside, if very few can reach them it's a bit mundane. Hopefully they .ix it up some over the weekend!

                                        ode I think more would reach if they could keep it in the fairway. I'm all good with a US Open with score close to par. That tournament is USGA, not the LPGA. Still seeing some great golf.

                                            We must be watching different tournaments because I'm not seeing this. I'm watching typical weekend golf from Any Course USA.

                                            The gals got no clue as to how to play this type course. Some appear to be playing 'scared', as I suppose they should be.

                                            Maybe I'm expecting too much from them and they play courses that are much too easy most of the time. Just not exciting to watch, imo.
                                            The weather is not making it easy at all. So there is that.

                                                Par4QC Yes they are struggling. I doubt the winner will make -10, the 2 groups I watched were not eating it up, but I did see Lydia Ko take a very rough hole and still battle to make the weekend...Lexi played terrible....korda made it, but really had a tough time finding the fairway until midway through the 1st round. No one is going to score well hitting it 225 yards into that rough. Should it be lightened up for them?
