Last I saw it was TaylorMade driver, woods, and irons, and Callaway wedges. Years ago she played Mizuno irons.

Was watching highlights this morning as I missed the live coverage yesterday and she has a Mizuno logo on the side of her cap. Looks like Mizuno irons to me but wasn't certain what model, possibly MP-18 SC but I couldn't tell exactly. One of the most atheistically pleasing swings in golf, textbook action.

It's heart warming to see Mi Jung Hur playing so well; it gives more confidence on the eventual comebacks of both Lydia Ko and In Gee Chun.

[legitimategolf]

This tournament has been a great addition to the LPGA tour.

[legitimategolf]

Mi Jung Hur's 66 today is one of the best rounds of 2019 IMO.

[legitimategolf]

But who doesn't love a flashy booble?

[Mellow]

WOOOOOOOO MJ!!!!!!!!!

 

This did not come out of nowhere. All this season she's been playing great. Love to see that pay off and make it all the way to a real win, those are so hard to actually get nowadays. She's had such a renaissance in her game and results! It * is * heart warming, you can still grow and find success.

 

I'm half between jumping up and down, and tearing up ... I hope she is over the moon right now!

[Argonne69]

That was a heck of a round by MJ in sloppy conditions. Another putting clinic, and the iron play wasn't too shabby either. The win has been a long time coming.

 

Very good ballstriking by 6ix today, but couldn't buy a putt. For a player new to kinks golf, I guess she got the hang of it pretty quick.

 

Moriya just couldn't get anything going today. A 2T is a solid week, though.

 

I predicted Mi Hyang would be in the mix this week, and after 9 holes she looked like she was going to deliver a win. Alas, she stalled on the back nine.

 

Ariya looked like she might post a low number, but like practically everyone but MJ, couldn't sink a birdie putt on the back nine. 'Nice title defense, though.

 

Nice weekend for Minjee with a 64-67 to grab a top 10.

 

I thought it was a decent tournament. We needed some wind to make it real Scottish golf. It wasn't the greatest looking links course, but it got the job done. The PM/AM wave did get the worst of the draw during the first two rounds, but there's not a heck of a lot that can be done.

 

[Mellow]

I know there's been times I've gnashed my teeth over weather too. It's an outdoor game, all it can do is balance out over time and tournaments.

Yes, Lucky Six continues to be impressive ... first time links and oh just a T2! Adaptability.

Moriya may have been only even this round, but she looked great, was definitely spotlight ready. I do pull for her a bit, would have been neat to have the back to back with Ariya, but I guess sometimes days just go flat no matter what you do.

Mi Hyang is just so endearing. It feels like she has a great resiliency for getting out of tough spots. I loved her punch out through the trees and her no-nonsense quick shot out of that bunker. Looking forward to her winning again soon.

MJ was a joy to watch. That hole-out from the rough and all those putts. She's got a high ceiling when she's dialed in, can go so low. It's great her husband was there, made a very romantic winning moment kiss. Really happy for her

It was nice of Su to hang around with the champagne. The other players appeared genuinely happy for MJ.

I understand why some players feel hard done by as depending on the side of the draw you could get very unlucky over the first two rounds but if you were to start abandoning play in an attempt to try to ensure fairness then you'd almost certainly create even more problems. It's harsh but something you just have to accept.

 

The standard of golf was exceptional despite the unfavourable conditions.

 

Will be interesting to see what venue they select for next year as I expect the event will move to prior to the WBO and should serve as a good prelude to Royal Troon.

I really hope they put the Scottish Open ahead of the WBO next year. There should also be some breaks in the schedule with Evian so there is strong participation in all three events (may be easier said than done).

I heard an interview with the CFO of the sponsor and they seemed to indicate that it would be the week before the WBO but they couldn't confirm the venue at this stage.

From what I saw, Epic flash Driver with speeder , EF fairways, Apex hybrids, mp fli hi, MP18 S.C. but didn’t catch a good view of wedges

 

 

[Argonne69]

MJ has played Fourteen wedges in the past, as well as Mack Daddys.

See when you add an extra "O" instead of the "B" that spelling mistake will get your post deleted by the Mods, well mine at least. I don't think I've ever mentioned a players appearance in a post ever, but if on a golf forum we can't appreciate "flashy boobles" than we are lost as a society lol

Anyone who missed my deleted post I wrote a sentence in it that said "recently my eye has been caught by newer and flashier "boobles" on the lpga (It should have been Bobbles lol)

[Argonne69]

Nice week for Carly. I don't think one can draw any real conclusions given the weather and field strength, but a top 10 is a top 10. A few of her swings looked a bit unorthodox, but others seemed fine.

Your accidental misspelling actually resulted in a real slang term that violates the PC rules. I looked it up because I was confused by your post.

I'm still confused, lol.

We do know she can cut some mean flips( forward and backward).

Finally got around to watching the final round, phew that was tough sledding.

Don't think anyone but local dog walkers and family members were there ;-)

Hopefully 2021 sees in return to a links course and agree with others that a schedule change to get more big names to show up would be great!
