Great venue, fascinating to watch the golf but apparently because it's a women's major some are obsessed with commenting on superficial things like personal appearance and fashion?  

 

Grow up.

 

Maybe not so much the appearance, but I can guarantee nearly every female watching is commenting on the fashion.  When I rewound to show Matthew Wolff swing the club to my wife, her first comment was about his shoes.

 

When in Rome...

How about SY Kim out of the burn?

[Argonne69]

Oh, Nelly. If you can putt, putt.

He really is in a funk if he entered and isn't leading the Women's Open. 😉

Great to see Shibuno back up on the leaderboard.

We’ve some fellow countrywomen doing good as well.

 

Zapping constantly btw BO and the Chec event

[OgeecheeMac1]

Mouth breathing can be corrected. Just saying.

[ColinKelvin]

I absolutely love Hinako Shibuno.  Incredible player, brilliant ball striker and short game, and always smiling.

 

Fantastic to see her contending for her second Open - and you'd never have realised it from the BBC's round 2 highlights last night in the UK, which I think showed 0 (zero) of her shots.

[Argonne69]

Yealimi looking solid. Glad to see her early season woes put behind her.

Sorry Hawkeye, I apologise for not taking it all so seriously.

 

They try and limit my online time at my asylum.

 

This guy in particular is a real pain:

[8602081]

This is going to great.. 

 

Lot of my favorite players on top..

 

Anna, Yealimi, Ariya, Brook, SYK..etc...

 

Anna is definitely due for a win.. but she's known to choke under pressure..  Hopefully she will preveil..

This could be a huge win for Yealimi.

I always liked Ariya (I miss her smile before putting - does she still do this?)

SYK definitely has tools to win..

Brook with killer instinct.. 

 

[Rapidcat]

Thank heavens, some bad weather at long last.

[Rapidcat]

Louise Duncan - very impressive performance.

Yes, May still smiles before she putts. She cracked a smile on the 1st tee this morning.

Is it ever warm in Scotland? I don’t think I’ve seen summer weather at a golf tournament 

[Cwebb]

Kay can't help herself, but use the word "firmly" to describe every putt.  Regardless of how slow it goes in the hole or the distance it rolls by

[OgeecheeMac1]

I see that 100% of putts hit short at the Open do not go in the hole. And short putts are an epidemic at the Open.

[Oneput]

Lexi within striking distance (made a 20+ par save hole #?). A win would erase her very painful 4th round collapse at this year US Open.

I arrived in St Andrews in April 2019 and it was 75 degrees. Played Kingsbarns the following day with temps in the high 60s. By the 3rd day I was happy to see the temperature drop to the 40s with gusty winds and light rain. Lol.

I think anything in the mid 70's is considered "hot" there

At least it's not "patented". Lol. 

 

[Argonne69]

Chances are good that we'll see another first time winner hoisting the major trophy. Could it be an amateur?

Someone missed a putt yesterday and it rolled 18 inches past the hole....and she described it as "hammered through break".  Then putts that trickle into the hole are described as "firmly in".  🤔

(she played softball as a child. IIRC, she played at quite a high level).

Thanks for the translation.

 

Shibuno has said she likes softball more than golf.

 

I can't find the video...there's one where Shibuno is pitching a softball with some speed.

Why is Gerina playing with a bum bag/fanny pack/sleeping bag?

 

 

Handwarmer?  it can rotate . . . so maybe turned to her backside when swinging . . . walking, she rotates and warms her hands.

The biggest casualty this morning seems to be Jennifer Kupcho, who's +5 after eight.

SNaP V2 79....Jess K & Inbee 77...who would have guessed.

 

Noh doesn't smile much...she's maybe SNaP V3.

Hmm, that makes sense, if so, not a bad idea.

I'm curious - why don't you like Stacy?

And a true Scot . . . the only player out there wearing shorts today!  In her spot interview, she says she's quite warm and the day's not too bad!  😂

Louise Duncan described the current weather there as "warm".  That's why she's wearing shorts.  😆
