I love how you keep sticking it to the guys here and giving them the BIRD.

It's their time to suffer; @Argonne69,  @Sharrow and @agolf1 have only one player each this week.  Nobody has more players than @Lobby, who has four.

@Argonne69did this on purpose since he is following everyone else on the course... that way he don't care about our contest 😛

@Stooch and @Lobby continue to lead; but nobody has earned double digit points thus far.

Am I correct that there are no Rolex points awarded this week because Dow is a team event?  And therefore we all have a stress free week to just enjoy the golf?

[HMHS]

Stress?  What stress?  I still have a 49.98 pt cushion against @Stooch despite him winning last weekend 😛 

Edited July 13, 2021 by HMHS
dang it's only 49.98pt cushion not 50 :P

[Argonne69]

Speaking of @Stooch, where has he been? No activity since June 21st.

I remember one year he disappeared for about 7-8 weeks.  I don't recall but maybe for hunting?

He said he was going to be away or unavailable for a significant period.  I simply cannot remember the reason though.  

 

Glad to see that someone can still ask a question in this forum without someone going into meltdown mode.  😄

I want him to come back soon, he's whittling away at my lead while he's away... 😄

[18majors]

 

Yealimi Noh finally got her first Top-10 for 2021.  It's a true Top-10 even for team play.

 

Basically, Yealimi and her partner will share fifth and sixth place CME points and official money; as a result, she'll move inside Top-60 on CME list.

 

Again, one step at a time!

 

 

[18majors]

Danielle Kang, Hannah Green and Bianca Pagdanganan are the only players missing this week.  Most of us have all five picks cranking.

Lol. I do believe in jinxing players, but she;'d have to implode to miss the cut. If she does, then I'm going into business as a professional "fixer". I'm sure there are thousands of gamblers that would pay me to put a jinx on a player(s).

Hmmm... if the winner of an LPGA event gets, say, $275k, and there's say, 144 in a full field... 143 players to jinx if I'm the player..275k/143 = around ~$2k to jinx every player and I can win the crown.  (Don't worry, at $2k to jinx every player, I'd take "some $ loss" since I get my full CME points - invest for the future, in that regard LOL).

I didn't expect Yealimi to miss the cut; but thought she's due for an overpar round.

 

Thanks to@Argonne69' jinx, she shot underpar instead!

 

 

 

 

[18majors]

 

Midway through the fourth Major; @agolf1, @Argonne69and @Golf Dinoare enjoying huge points.

[18majors]

 

@agolf1is in line to win almost 200.0 points in one tournament, a record for this contest!

[BadgerLin]

I’m going to be really pulling for Yealimi tomorrow 🤞!  And not to wish her ill, but isn’t Lee6 due for a not-so-hot round?  (It looks like it’s going to be hard to keep her from the win and the 👄👄).

Possibly.  She did look a tad "shaky" today en route to 3-bogeys (she has 5 for the week).  We'll see how she responds tomorrow.  I am thinking that Saturday's round was her "bad" round.  Even if she only goes 2 under tomorrow (69), Yeahlimi will have to go -7 under to tie and Lydia -8 under to tie.    The only way that a chaser wins is if she gives up strokes and posts a + round (which could happen), but her game seems solid enough to avoid that calamity.

I've seen enough of JLee6 to state that, oddly enough, her 3rd rounds always "sucked" whenever I watched... And then come final day, she settles herself and tries to gain into contention -- all for naught so far but she played better usually on round 4 vs 3... we will see if, according to plan, tomorrow is the same.  Again, coincidence?  Anti-jinx? or "supported by facts" -- I am too lazy to do research now but that's definitely what I noticed WHEN I DO WATCH HER... (Of course if it's a fact, then it's not me :P)

No, not quite accurate.  At the US Women's Open, She played solid on Saturday, finishing with a chance of catching Lexi, but gave it away on Sunday (+4, 76), allowing Yuka and Nasa to pass Lexi. 

 

Today (Saturday), was the worst of the three rounds played (scoring wise).   But, we will see how she handles the situation.  She should have gained confidence from having been in this situation last month, so we will see what happens.  As I say elsehwere, they still have to play another 18 holes.
