You can get really bush-whacked on this course by the looks of it, Moriya J. went from -2 to +4 from 3 holes

I've gone from +4 to +10 over 3 holes on lots of courses.

NBC Sports app doesn't show commercials. Instead they show a raw camera feed, no commentary just ambient sound. It is glorious.

[Mellow]

In Gee nooooooo :(

 

And Su missed by just one :(

 

Tiffany is having a tough season.

 

Happy that Hee Young made it, and for MJ's great round.

Whoa Nelly. Borrowed that line from Keith Jackson(sportscaster from long ago)although I think his spelling would have been Nellie. Probably burnout as others here have already suggested.

Muni did not capitalize on her "unexpected" start. Does she have any official money for this year? Same question for Mariah Stackhouse who ain't exactly settin the woods on fire this year either? Have they already did the reshuffle for priority? If not yet then when? Are the fields for all the Majors the same size and are they set the same way? I am hoping that at least one of my two favorites (Piller and Icher) can be in some of the 5. Even if by the maternity rule.

I'm kinda glad that "Gimme Lee" missed the cut. I hope more of the same for her.

[Raving Shanker]

Wow. Look at that star power below the cut line!! You could just about reverse the two sets of players and it would be as plausible!

Who is Gimme Lee?

I was thinking the same thing, Minjee Lee and Morgan Pressel wasn't the weekend battle I was expecting, well maybe Minjee. That said I have no clue what will happen on the weekend, cause it seems every player in the field is capable of shooting a 67 or a 77 the fun will be who shots which.

Gotta be talking about Alison Lee.

 

[Titleist_PT23]

Really hope Minjee can play well these next two days and hopefully win. It could be different come Sunday but right now she's a few shots clear of anyone remotely at/around her talent level, so it really feels like she needs to take advantage of this one (I think some of her other shortcomings have come when paired with other players in the Top 5-10 range).

 

Kristen Gillman and In Gee were in this thing through their first 9 on Friday and proceeded to shoot 40 and 42 on their second nine (course's front 9).

 

Not sure if So Yeon's driver is really fixed, or if this course is just very generous off the tee. Will see if she can post another Top 10 / play four solid rounds.

[legitimategolf]

hey Minjee you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind. hey Minjee

[Argonne69]

Great. Now I'll have that song stuck in my head for the whole eight hour flight home.

I've been saying this for years. In addition, the stream always starts on time irregardless of PGA weather delays or geezer playoffs. And quite often they leave the announcers mics open which can result in some pretty funny comments, like the time Terry Gannon called the Poppy's Pond plunge at ANA a "manufactured moment."

I heard that one from Gannon. I get so uncomfortable whenever those mics stay on, because the facade drops and you get a glimpse of the real personality and it's jarring. In those candid moments they no longer seem like nice people and it _always_ feels like they are about to say something truly awful. You'd think it'd be fun to eavesdrop, but it's not. I hate it.

 

I really like the wide shots. Sometimes they're panoramic. And just hearing the ambient sound. More than anything else they show on the broadcast, these breaks give you a feeling of being on-site.

[Stooch]

I think Minjee is in good shape with those a couple shots from her, Gabe could hang around or shoot a 76. Danielle is playing well and she'll hang around all weekend, I think. I think right now Danielle is her biggest competition for the win, but with 36 holes left and Inbee, Shan Shan and So Yeon lurking they got a chance with good weekends. I was thinking maybe someone going off early could post a score but really Ariya and Lydia are the only ones that if they went low today, wouldn't give all back on Sunday,

Don't discount Kristen Gillman, she'll break out anytime soon!

Don't disagree, but with rookies or new player I need to see something from them on the LPGA before I consider them for wins. Lauren Stephenson is another rookie who has been relatively solid this season, who I think has the ability to break through also.

In Gee had 13 putts on her front 9 (#10-18), 21 putts on back 9. She could actually be -3 if her putter behaved.

The late afternoon bumpy poa annua grass got her, nothing she could do.

I's encouraged by her driving distance, 270 yards. Clearly she's focusing on getting her clubhead speed up, a work in progress.

 

[18majors]

Watch out for the rookies: [https://golfweek.com/2019/04/26/golf-lpga-rookies-gillman-stephenson-light-up-hollywood/](https://golfweek.com/2019/04/26/golf-lpga-rookies-gillman-stephenson-light-up-hollywood/ "https://golfweek.com/2019/04/26/golf-lpga-rookies-gillman-stephenson-light-up-hollywood/")

 

"Gillman took five classes this semester to finish up her degree in three years. She filed a 25-page paper on Tuesday. It’s the third time this year she’s had to file a 25-page paper during a tournament."

"What did a take a load off her mind was a closing 66 at the ANA Inspiration that moved her into a share of sixth. She’s currently 36th on the money list, her card secured for 2020."

 

 

 

 

 

[Stooch]

Congrats to Mirim Lee who went -4 in her round today in 2.5 hours.

[18majors]

Kristen Gillman doubled 3rd, then fired for 6 birdies to finish -4 for the day and -3 for the tournament.

Tomorrow is waiting!

[Stooch]

So GC said they'd be going back and forth between LPGA and PGa and in 10 minutes I haven't seen an LPGA shot lol

You have my sympathy; too bad you can't live stream it in Canada.

I've the same problems when traveling abroad.

Whatever the information; it's wrong:

"LOS ANGELES – Stacy Lewis had yet to hit a golf shot on Saturday morning at the HUGEL-AIR Premia LA Open but felt like she’d already won the day. Six-month-old Chesnee slept through the night, and the USGA called to say that she has a spot in this year’s U.S. Women’s Open."

I bookmarked a site that says, I can go through them to get NBC Sports app in Canada, I just wanna take some time and check them out before I give away my money lol

When the song pops into your head, at least you`ll be thinking of Minjee instead of Mickey. It could have been a worse choice of player...lol.

[Mellow]

omg subterranean Inbee! Love her determination and guts!

[18majors]

The ever present Inbee Park and Jin Young Ko are ready to pound if both Minjee and Madsen fail to break par tomorrow.

Winning score was -12 last year; -15 should win it this year.

It looked like Kristen Gillman was going to pair with Brooke Henderson, but Gaby Lopex broke the party by bogeying #17.

That was truly scary.

Yes it was!
