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

 

 

The Duel in the Sun . . . Watson v. Nicklaus at Turnberry in 1977.   So it has happened once.

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:

That’s me!  Just a little extra coffee this morning, lol.

Pretty balmy when Tiger 2 ironed the field to death at Hoylake!

Aye, true that, but that is not in Scotland.  That'd be Merseyside. 😂

[Argonne69]

Yealimi has gotten lucky with a few tee shots that wound up with decent lies in the rough.

Believe it or not, it was over 80 degrees for the best part of July here in the west of Scotland this summer. 

 

People were complaining about it and saying things like "Enough hotland, I want Scotland back!"...  They got their wish and it's back to 60/drizzle now.

As they say, fortune favours the brave!  There were a couple of players who were fortunate that their approaches to 18 hopped over the burn!

Ayaka Furue (JLPGA 5 birdies no bogeys 3rd round) is currently at -5. Per player profile her height is 5 ft!

Or chip. She has to be the worst pitcher/chipper I’ve ever seen at the elite level. 

Agree...very jerky stroke but Anna N is worse.

Lol. I didn't know that Anna chipped. She seems to putt everything.

Also uses a hybrid for chipping occasionally.

And she apparently has a closet full of them. The colors are a bit better today, but the big stripes that don’t line up just don’t work (for me🙄). 

Ya....the sweaters aren't great.

BUT

IMO....Minjee is one of the better dressed LPGA pros on tour.

She's a 9/10 on the fashion scene....I'd give her a 10...but she doesn't wear knee highs.🤣

 

BTW....I miss @Argonne69 fashion thread...it was deleted...lol.

Agree she does look good but she could look better in a different sweater.

 

Looking forward to @ThinkingPlus to comment.

Hey...don't forget about my other WRX gal pals too.

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.

Hmmm...so you were the one who petitioned to get @Argonne69 fashion thread deleted.😂

 

[Rapidcat]

Despite the spluttering finish, Youletmeknow is quickly developing into one hell of a player.

 

Can see her and Nelly duking it out over the next few years.

[Oneput]

Nice to see Lexi continues her routine/tradition of signing for the younger audience (both side of the pond)!

That was a lovely interview from Lexi.

 

If the chemistry with her caddie is as it seems, maybe they could consider continuing that professional relationship?

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

 

NICE JINX......your reverse karma is not working.

Too many loose shots and she gagged coming home.

Definitely the SNaP V3 look.🤣

 

@18majors is HITTING the bottle pretty HARD as we speak....hopefully the knives and ropes in his house are locked away.

 

I think18majors just put you on his ignore list...way to go.

I've yet to see Lexi walk away from any selfie or autograph requests.

[Argonne69]

Oof. No kidding jinx. Train wreck of a finish by Yealimi. Still has 18 holes to right the ship.

One of the UK commentators made a remark early on when they showed an image of Lexi laughing with her caddie ... after hitting a less than great shot.   One said it was great to see Lexi laughing and in good spirits regardless -- the other one quipped "I didn't know that Lexi had a Twin"! 🤣

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

The same reasons why Shanshan, Crazy Lucy Li and Mi Hyang Lee don't like her.🤣

That doesn't really help me, I'm not reading between the lines here.

 

Anything more?

[KBong]

Hmmm...can't say I like the leaderboard....no favs for me at or near the top.

 

Seems like there is a good chance that the streak for a 1st time major winner will continue.
