2016 U.S. Women's Open

I don't understand players wearing so much makeup on the course. A little mascara or eyeliner is fine, tennis players do that, but you can't expect people to take you seriously as athletes with much more.

 

Have always thought Alice was a bit heavy on the eyeliner.

Don't say that to Ray Lewis, he'd kill you if he heard that... possibly quite literally.

That pic with the dog looks like a serial killer in the making.

How else do you expect them to brand themselves? Let's face it, despite numerous very good looking women on tour, there are numerous who definitely lack in the looks department.

The 15th hole is a joke of a par 5. Lexi had 161 in and hit 8 iron.

Key word there is "Lexi".

[Yellow Jacket]

Holly just did an interview with Danielle Kang. Horrible interview aside, I was surprised that Danielle sounded like English isn't her native tongue, but she was born and raised in the US.

Agree-if Jason Day has a nine iron in to a par 5 he killed the tee shot. If a woman does the same it's a joke of a par 5?

When Tiger started going driver wedge on par 5's at Augusta (you all remember Tiger Woods, he used to golf) no one b*tched about the course set up, we were in awe of his talent.

[canadianglen]

Hmmm

Holly and her overt "appeal" + more cosmetics while playing than usual by many + as many scenic shots as play shots on the broadcast + Juli Inkster being more primped than likely her wedding day = Fox Sports and USGA imposing their "sales strategy" for the womens' game

[Jasonic]

I'm not sure if it's possible but it looks like Holly got more work done in the 3 weeks since the men's open.

 

Incredible she's only 29. Looks 40

 

Who cares this forum/topic is supposed to be about a LPGA Major and the players... find another forum.

 

She's covering the tournament, officer. Lighten up.

[Argonne69]

Nice bounce back by Lydia. They said it's her best 2nd round in a U.S. Open. She's well positioned for the weekend.

[Argonne69]

Amy Yang is always present in the U.S. Open conversation. We'll see once again if she has what it takes on Sunday.

[pmcuk]

Nice to get a look at players like Teresa Lu and in particular Sung Hyun Park - don't know why she doesn't play on the LPGA Tour.

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see SHP on the LPGA in the next year or two.

 

Well, as of now she's leading the field at 8 under. Pretty impressive.....

I gotta agree with Kiwi. Who cares?

 

Strange that nobody has commented on the looks of any of the male announcers.

She's been near the top of the leaderboard at several majors. She just needs to close it out.

 

BTW, is it too hard for the announcing crew to learn her name? They were blabbering on about SH Park. Ugh.

[canadianglen]

keep up that great sportsmanship, Cristie

[Argonne69]

I know there probably aren't a lot of Fox Sports fans here, but I kind of like the alternate broadcast. You can clearly see they have different biases vs Golf Channel. Not saying it's right or wrong, but certainly different. For example, we saw numerous shots from Syndee yesterday. I think I can count the number of times I've seen Syndee on GC on one hand

Case in point- Holly Sonders

[PZero]

I guess I'm not following. She was -3 yesterday, so certainly worth showing especially if they were already covering her group. She's only had 1 top 10 this year, so that might be why you haven't seen much of her on the GC.

[8602081]

Wished they would cover more..

[hebsan]

Wished they would cover more..

 

If it was the men, they would be on until everyone was done.

Then talk about it for 2 hours afterwards.

I'll have my wife post her thoughts.

 

Just as strange that there isn't thread of men players in knee socks.

The GC routinely ignores players near the top of the leaderboard to focus on players no where near the top. How many times have we seen Michelle struggle to make the cut? I guess I'm surprised to see coverage of the leaders. Yeah, I'm sure it doesn't hurt that Syndee dressed the part.

[Argonne69]

Wow, In Gee had a late round meltdown, and missed the cut. She had a nice eagle on 15 to get to even par, but finished with a bogie on 16, and a triple on 18. That stings.

[PZero]

Lydia is going to end up winning this.

[golfgirlrobin]

Jenny Shin had a green side chip where she wanted to step back into a bunker to read it, and asked her caddie if he minded whether she went in.

 

Obviously he told her to go ahead, but I've never seen anything like that. It's polite, I suppose, but it seemed ridiculous.

 

Would like to see Bubba ask Ted Scott if he minded whether he stepped into a bunker to read a green.

[golfgirlrobin]

Totally agree. Got into a rhythm today and it just feels like she's going to get stronger each day.
