2021 USGA Women's Am

[KBong]

Zhang made it to match play....it will be difficult for her to defend her title.

 

3 local gals didn't advance.

 

Anyone know what network will cover this event on the weekend in Canada?

[MPAndreassi]

Not sure about TV coverage up north. A friend of mine made it through to match play. Finished at +1 for the two days. She won medalist at her qualifying site so she can go low if her putter gets hot. 

[TerpFangolfer]

Round of 64 on GC now...already #1 seed lost to #64, and #2 in trouble

Rose is tied thru 8

Rose was eliminated. She didn't have best of her stuff today and she went down swinging. Gotta respect that.

Yeah, she just was a bit off. If she really wanted to win this she probably should have skipped Evian...but the experience going over there i guess was too hard to turn down.

Ugly swing by nachmann there. Baseball grip weird stance and a pivot gankas probably thinks is dope

Rose looked gassed out there. Heck is now favorite to win

 

[KBong]

My bad for starting this thread and jinxing Zhang.

Looks to me like a Stack & Tilt style. 

 

Worked well against Zhang.

[SpeedyPro]

We need Rachel Heck on LPGA tour right now.

She's a very good player

Nice jinx. 

[KBong]

OK...Hou for the win!

[Argonne69]

Rachel was very sloppy on the closing holes in the semi. Shouldn't have conceded the putts on the 17th, and she looked like she rushed her putt on the 18th. She should have slowed down and simply lagged the ball to the hole given that par was good enough for the win. 'Definitely a wasted opportunity for her.

 

It's a shame this had to go up against the Olympics and the WGC. No TV coverage for the rounds of 32 and 16. I didn't catch it on Peacock, and it's not available afterwards. Grrrr. YouTube has highlights for the two days.

I guess no sponsor (or Rolex didn't wanna pony up here for commercial free feeds/streams early on for us).

I was really rooting for Rachel Heck, hard way to lose, but that putt by Castle on the first playoff hole was super.  I've really enjoyed listening to Cheyenne Woods do on-course commentary.  She's a natural for that job on the LPGA or PGA if she wants it.

One call from Eldrick and Cheyenne could be commish on the PGA or LPGA...just sayin.

 

Talkin about commish....what's taking so long for the new LPGA to transition from her old job to her new role?

 

Smiley Mike has been shilling on most USGA events since taking over.

I wonder if Mikey will carry on the tradition and make Rose his Teacher's Pet/Poster Child.....ala Davis & Crazy Lucy Li.

Kay

Could you imagine our worst nightmare happening one day when Paige, Stupples and Morgan are in the booth and Beth Ann Nichols doing post round interviews.

 

[Kaysquare]

I'll admit I really wanted Rachel Heck to win this thing, but I'm having trouble rooting for Jensen Castle.  Probably because her constant throwing grass in the air is getting on my nerves.  🤣

Just watched the finals.

Cheyenne is BORING....snooze fest!

 

[KBong]

Where is Smiley Mike?...another chance to shill on TV and he's not at the trophy presentation...what gives?

I've never seen someone check the wind that much.  It looked like an obsessive compulsive disorder 😲

[Argonne69]

Good final match. Jensen was clutch with the putter when it mattered most. Vivian had her chances, but just couldn't buy a putt down the stretch.

 

[tbowles411]

I actually really enjoyed watching them play.  Nothing on the line except a trophy.

Probably her way of dealing with nerves -- by sticking to a routine and staying focused?

Could be.  She was also fixing every old ball mark on the green.  Maybe staying busy to not think of the situation?  At any rate, she got it done
