2018 KPMG

[Argonne69]

It's a beautiful day in the Chicago area. It'll be a bit humid, but no chance for rain.

 

The early groups are off, and the birdies are starting already. Su, Annie, Jodi, and Minjee are all -2 after less than six holes.

 

Inbee is off to a poor start, with two bogies in 5 holes. Sucks about her home in Florida. I'm sure it's on her mind.

Inbee's home is in Las Vegas.

This is probably a horrible sexist chauvinist remark but Paige MacKenzie has such a whiny, nagging way of speaking. Most people in the world do not have broadcast-friendly type voices and Paige is one of us.

Looks like Golf Channel installed Ad Blocking detection to their video streaming. And since I can't disable Ad Blocking on my work computer, I'm stuck watching the leaderboard.

Doh! I meant to say Vegas. I really gotta stop with the quick posts early in the morning. Lol.

[Stooch]

The wet and soft conditions seem to have taken the teeth out of the course so far

[DavePelz4]

Guessing they moved up the tee boxes as well to accommodate the rain and lack of rollout.

[Stooch]

Dang look at those forearm and guns, pretty sure Brooke is benching 250 lol

 

[pwa]

Paige Mackenzie doesn't bother me.

 

But Gary Koch could double for the Mr. Obvious guy in those awful commercials. He's like if Joe Buck and Greg Norman had an illegitimate son.

[Stooch]

Nothing to do with this event but I'm happy for my fellow Canuck Jaclyn Lee on pulling it out on 18th and advancing to the round of 16 at the British Amateur, I'm not sure what she found in her game but what an improvement this season :taunt:

[legitimategolf]

Go Stacy Jr.

Ugh Paige Mackenzie in the booth this week, I hope it's not a permanent transition to covering the LPGA........... not really a Paige fan, sorry to anyone who is

 

In the booth? Unbelievable. But they need ratings, so...

 

 

Is this a fokin joke ?? Paige Mackenzie, with TWO career top 10 finish, is suppose to tell me what it is like to play and contend in a major championship ??

 

I meant there's a reason they have people like Faldo, Miller and grandma Judy in the booth.

 

Why don't they put in the other Paige? Spiranac that is. And I bet they both know the same amount about major championship golf.

[KBong]

Am I seeing things....do these greens look a little furry and maybe only rolling at a 9.5 stimp.

I know the PGA of America doesn't use the stimp methodology....but come on..it's a major.

[KBong]

Isn't Chicago called the WINDY CITY...looks pretty benign to me.

I have a sneaking suspicion that your avatar would have a few meeting with Human Resources if Spiranac was in the booth lol

[KBong]

I didn't mind Paige as a player....but she's not a natural for TV....and tries too hard....often giggling a bit too much....this includes when she's on Morning Drive.

With the amount of rain we've had, they might not have been able to roll the greens like normal. There's been just short of 10 inches of rain in June...very atypical of the area this time of year.

[KBong]

Everyone is complaining about Paige...just wait until the weekend....I have a suspicion Annika will be in the booth.....she often attends the women's conference.

I've already checked...my mute button is working.

Fresh batteries might also be wise.

Chicago is called "Windy City", not because hurricane or strong winds.

 

It's because local politics are windy.

[KBong]

Trugravity and Arg...if you want Dumbo to make the Korean Int'l Crown team....you two better not show up empty handed and give In Gee a lucky charm gift and fanboy her...she'll need more support than the 10 Flying Dumbo's who show up.

 

KBong, sadly, I have no gift for In Gee but am hopeful of following her for her front nine tomorrow. I have a drawing for Jess Korda and will try to get one for In Gee, albeit next year.

Huh....WTF...that's like going to a dinner party and not bringing a bottle of wine or flowers for the hostess.

You're driving over 3 hrs and can't take an additional 15 minutes to stop into a H-Mart or Korean grocery store and buy In Gee some snacks.

You'll never be accepted into the Flying Dumbo fan club without putting in some effort. :taunt:

[Phreddy]

It is when Arg flashes his credentials, made on his home computer, "GolfWRX On Course Fashion Photography Team" that he gets tossed.

Lol. I'll just pick up a fake FBI badge on Ebay. Fashion Brigade Inspector.

[Argonne69]

Minjee can't be too pleased that she dropped two shots in her final three holes, including a bogie on the par 5 7th.

 

Only one player in the morning wave that finished under par had a bogie-free round, Laetitia Beck. It looks like the course has some teeth. Jaye Marie and Jessica each birdied six holes, and bogied one.

[Argonne69]

Hot start for Emma Talley, birding her first four holes.

The cut line would be Even is scoring continues like the morning wave.

 

The course should play easier in the afternoon as the fairways firm up and greens stay gettable.

LOL I mixed uo Paige Mackenzie and Spiranac actually. I’m fine with Mackenzie. She’s done enough golf TV to deserve a shot.

That's Minjee's MO....she'll play great for a while and then falter.

Hee Young Park should give up her "Rocket" nickname to Minjee.

[KBong]

Dame Laura Davies with the birdie-birdie start! Come on Laura!

Nice karma....NOT...she shot 80. :taunt:

"Blaine" , Jess just put you on her Instagram story. You have made it. You are now eligible for the LPGA Fan Boy Hall of Fame.
