She seems like a very genuine and nice person, engaging with fans. To call her rude is pretty ridiculous. Japanese people in general are very humble and friendly in my experience which is pretty extensive

[North Texas]

Damn it NBC! Go back to golf. Who cares about football and nascar when you have a great tournament going on?

[the bishop]

If Salas makes birdie on 18 worst she can do is a playoff I think.

[legitimategolf]

G.D. it, two painful blows for Jin Young on the last green, first to come up 2 inches short, and then to watch Salas miss her putt.

[sbjinx]

Normally don’t watch women’s golf but what a great tournament.

[sbjinx]

And holy wow. Great putt for the win

Congrats Hinako! Beyond impressed by her, having fun and looking carefree out there. I didn't see her hanging in there but she sure did. I think we could all learn a little something from her attitude out there.

Jin Young, well it's nice she gave someone else a chance lol. Celine with a nice run at -6 for the day.

What happened to the English gals today Charley +4, Bronte +6, Georgia +1 yikes.

[MountainGoat]

That was going 10 feet past if it didn’t hit the hole.

At least 6 or 7. But good for her !!! Refreshing and a lot of fun watching a young lady having FUN playing golf !!!

Isn't that golf in general?

[masegolf1978]

Good thing that hit the hole!

[OldTomMorris]

Great win considering she double-bogeyed her 3rd hole. The putt on 18 was ridiculously good.

The next time someone is going to post a “can a scratch beat an LPGA pro” thread, watch this final round first

[fredogolfer]

I consider myself to be patriotic but I slightly rolled my eyes when Lizette talked about how this week boded well for the Solheim Cup. For a lot of Americans, it seems to be on par with the majors.

[1t2golf]

That's how you win a tournament! Well done Hinako.

 

Congrats to Salas as well. She left a few putts out there and still played an amazing round.

[Newinup]

I was secretly rooting for Shibuno-san. While I was in Japan last month, fortunately saw her play and win on a playoff at the Anessa Shiseido open (A come from behind win). Today, being the chased (rather than the chaser), I certainly didnt expect another great back nine but once she was tied heading into the last hole, I thought she might have the edge over Salas. This girl is unbelievable... Now it's back to rooting for Bianca P to make it through Qschool in a few weeks/month's time :)

[PhilWhitUK]

Great competition. I went yesterday and the play and experience were phenomenal. Spent some time on the range and the players were so friendly and accessible. Morgan hit some shots today I didn’t think she had in (distance wise). Overall the final round today was open until the very last shot. Just a shame the Brit girls dropped away, particularly Charley.

No kidding! That is not an easy golf course and those gals played some GREAT golf over the weekend.

 

What a finish.

[pmcuk]

Wonderful tournament and a marvellous young winner. Great for golf. Looking forward to actually seeing it on the BBC later this evening.

[18majors]

Jennifer Kupcho and Lizette Salas rose to the occasions and shone over back to back majors.

Glad that Lizette took on Jin Youn Ko head to head, mono a mono and beat her.

The biggest loser? Sung Hyun Park; her invincibility is gone, evaporated after those back to back Sundays.

[charliefarleigh]

Totally agree,it has been an absolute joy watching this tournament for the quality of the golf and the manner in which it has been played,a great showcase for womens golf.

[SwooshLT]

Is this a Birdie Kim moment? Asking for a friend

Bianca'll breeze through Stage I; but Stage II will be her biggest challenge.

She'll breeze through Q-Series if she passes Stage II.

Hope to see Yuka Saso also!

You mean the same Jennifer Kupcho who shot a +7 and didn't make the weekend? How did she shine over back to back majors? The Evian, yeah sure. Not so shiny this event.

[18majors]

They're close; but it appears Nelly will move ahead of Nasa to No. 9 on Rolex Ranking.

Jin Young Ko is close to double digit point and has widened her lead over Sung Hyun.

[18majors]

Hinako Shibuno's award ceremony is so cute; one of a kind!

Pretty sure he meant each one in DIFFERENT majors.....not both majors for each player

[78Staff]

Heartbreak! Was really pulling for Salas. How that putt dropped and didn't go 8 ft by is beyond me.

 

[Kaysquare]

Great win for Shibuno, she played awesome golf, but I was sure rooting for Salas....so so close! Even if she'd made the putt on 18, she would've had a hard time beating Shibuno in a playoff.
