Gotta believe that Shanshan not picking up a club for over a year is a bit of a stretch. She obviously didn't tee it up professionally since late 2019, but I have to assume she put in a lot of practice during that time.

 

 

 

She's from Guanzhou, a city in the southern part of China near Hong Kong and Shenzhen.  Shenzhen is home to Mission Hills (China) golf resort and has multiple courses at its Shenzhen location.  Their other resort is based in Hainan Island ...jus south of Hong Kong ... so, I think your observation would not be a stretch by any means!  😄

I must have misheard the commentators (watching via Sky Sports over here in the UK) but still a excellent score 🙂

 

I don't think you misheard. The Golf Channel crew said the same thing. I just don't believe a professional golfer sits idle for 12+ months. Heck, I'd be beating balls into a net in my basement or living room after a week. 

 

Edit: Just caught Shanshan's post round interview. She said she practiced off and on. Seriously, I have to find out her routine. Lol.

Indeed I agree, it would drive me mad, still 5 under is an amazing score.

 

I hadn't swung a club since November 2020 since we have been in lockdown here in the UK which was lifted for Golf Courses to open Monday just gone and boy did it feel good.

The Golf Channel is running a poll to select the best shot at the ANA. Of the five they showed on the broadcast, I'd have to go with Brittany's approach shot on the 18th in 2009 to set up the winning eagle. 

 

However, I think the best shot was a year or two ago when one of the players hit a chip shot on Sunday off the bridge on the 18th to within a couple of feet. There have been a handful of chips on the 18th from the back right in the past few years that have been pretty remarkable.

Yeah, it was pretty clear that she was referring to competitive rounds!  But, her secret is "dim sum" brunch!  😄

I've come to like Grant in the booth over the past few years, but there's no team better than Judy and Terry.

I agree...they go together quite well.  Kinda like "salt & pepper", "beer and a hotdog",  pineapple and pizza!

Yuka had an eagle putt on the 18th, so it looks like it's possible. Of course she's a long hitter. They didn't show her approach, so no idea what club she used. 

 

Edit: They moved the tee up to 474 yds, so we're looking at a completely different hole than the one we saw last night during the charity event. 

 

They did show her approach! She was a long way back, and it looked like a full fairway wood. It was basically the shot of the day.

I am amazed by Shahshan. She'd fallen off the radar on these boards, but I hadn't forgotten her. I was, to be honest, concerned for her. Anyway, no need to worry! She's back. Looks in tremendous form. I also thought she'd slimmed down a lot since I last saw her, and that's got to be good. I recall her famous words in an interview where she said, "People always say golf is hard. I never found it hard".

Impressive scoring in the afternoon. No real surprise given the near ideal conditions. The players over par have really got to be kicking themselves. Still a long way to go, but the trailers have to schedule their moving day for tomorrow.

 

Sei Young really made a mess of the 18th. Even with a partial wedge, she's got to get the ball over the flagstick. 

 

Wouldn't it be something if Moriya and Ariya found themselves in the final group together on Sunday? Jessica and Nelly can't grab all the sister spotlight.

 

I'm definitely liking the coverage. It appears that there's at least one roaming crew out there covering the "non-Feature groups".

7 hours of coverage today.  Nothing to complain about here.  7 more tomorrow!

 

Hmmm. I feel cheated. I only got 6. 'Probably how Charlie Brown felt at Halloween when he got a rock.

I’m Brooklyn born, and grew up on Long Island in NY, so to me Chicago pizza is an oxymoron. 😉 We would call it a casserole, not a pizza.

Great start by Patty, she's one of the youngin's showing she really wants that win.  I'm kinda cheering for Saso to do well I like her game.  The course played pretty easy yesterday and you really missed an opportunity if you didn't go under par, I'm taking to you avatar.  Left hand low my butt, should just try right foot high at this point.

Early morning and Bianca is off to a great start with birdies on her opening two holes. She needs a few more to secure a weekend berth.

 Both her and our favourite avatar! @stooch

 

I was reading a thread on SM and I thought that I detected some sort of SM harassment of Brooke ... people who were upset with her for not playing better and winning more.   Apparently its been on the increase in Ontario?  

 

This is just me reading between the lines ... no one has publicly said anything, just a few posters rallying around Brooke and their language suggesting it.  

 

The concern about Brooke is valid ... but if the response is to go onto social media and criticize her and attack her, then that is entirely inappropriate and unacceptable.  We have a generational talent in Brooke and she desperately needs to improve her putting game, but to badger her online through SM about it would be crossing a line.

Yealimi Noh ... a very tough round for her yesterday.  We'll see how she plays today and whether she can bounce back.   I cannot help but wonder how much that slow play penalty/fine is affecting her here.  Her $10,000 fine was more than double her $4,000+ in earnings from the KIA.  

 

Nice to see the 'English Army' out ... Charley, Bronte and Georgia all tied at -3 yesterday!

Aw, just kidding, even though there is a massive shoe store or retail store called SM Mart ... no, this refers to Social Media.  😉

 

Too bad AFP and Barron's magazine know so little about golf! @Supermilo  👇👇👇

 

Either that, or its their attempt at April Fools Day -- but I doubt it!
