She's been on the LPGA tour since 2017, according to LPGA.com, she has averaged between 237 and 246 over the last 5 years. There's the 20-30 yards..and yes her putting average has never been worse than 23rd place

Ok. I have been watching and haven’t seen a carry over 215. My bad… it’s not like she’s the 6th shortest driver on the LPGA tour this year.

196 carry with driver is comical!

I've watched Ashok play live at a few LPGA stops and it's apparent she's lost distance due to covid. Hopefully she will fully recover with time.

No, I agree with you all on adding some yardage. I'm just pointing out she hasn't always been this short off the tee, and has always been a pretty good putter too.

I'm just not so sure adding yardage is her only issue, obviously it couldn't hurt.

Ack. Almost made it. Compelling stuff to say the least. Pity only three medals will be awarded. Can we all chip in and buy a tin, brass, and copper medal for the 4th through 6th place finishers? Lol. 

 

Guess I'll watch the final holes in the morning. Gotta get up and head straight to the TV to avoid any spoilers, assuming the weather has cooperated.

Of course it’s not her only issue. Just the most glaring at this time.

What's wrong with Kay, she does an excellent job out there.

 

Gotta stop saying "patented", or start collecting licensing fees from the million golfers who hit a "patented" draw. Lol.

Would you rather have Blumenhurst out there?

I'm surprised the South Koreans didn't have a better showing.  9th is nothing to sneeze at but I thought at least one of them would be in contention for the win.  

 

Do you think Jessica is trying to boost up Nelly during this break?  

 

Cool putters, especially Jin Young.

She's short and today has been very inaccurate off the Tee. So bad in both. Also missing almost every green. Her short game has been some of the best I've ever seen. I thought Bones was speaking in hyperbole when a few days ago he said it was the best putting performance he's ever seen. But no it wasn't, this is historically good so far.

Her strokes gained putting has been off the charts. Maybe she should patent her putting. 🙃

Looks like she has a slight cut action with her putting stroke. Probably to keep the face square at impact.

Her pace is crazy. No dying the ball in the hole for her. It's bam. 

 

[HMHS]

it's back!  let's finish this and get me some sleep soon LOL...

[iBanesto]

[TiScape]

Here we go! 

[HMHS]

LOL at some of the volunteers when the horn sounded

[HMHS]

NOW I don't need any caffeine... -17 for both for now... 

[iBanesto]

Inami birdie!

[iBanesto]

Poor miss putt from Ashok 😂 *Sarcasm*

 

 

[ChronicSlicer]

Lydia with a bird...now just keep the tee shot on this planet.

[HMHS]

-17 for 2 heading to the 18th!  it'll be the 18th to decide whether Inami or Korda...

[nikeblades00]

Buckle up. Here we go 18.

[iBanesto]

Oh no! That 2nd shot from Inami.

 

[ChronicSlicer]

Oh man..that hurt Inami.

[iBanesto]

Korda "just" needs a par.

 

2nd shot is up against the collar of the rough.

[MUNIGRIT]

What yardage are they playing?
