Congrats to Celine! 

Yes, congrats to Celine who went out and WON IT.

I like her cause she's a no nonsense player.

 

It's exotic to listen to a woman of Asian descent (Thai) with a French accent.

I just read, Celine has a twin sister who doesn't play golf.

 

Oh ya...Parsons must be happy.

KABOOM BABY!🤣

Shocking is too strong a word. Surprising finish? The gang here was right, a number of players could, and did, go low to make it exciting. I'm just surprised that Jin Young and Inbee only managed two under rounds while 63's and 64's were there for the taking. 'Even more surprised that both of them failed to birdie the final hole to force a playoff. 'Probably should add Patty to the group, too. 

 

I'm calling it as I see it...in my books...JYK, Inbee and Patty ALL CHOKED shooting 69.

All 3 didn't play well on the back 9 coming home.

 

I was rooting for JYK, but she played tight coming home...playing not to lose vs. playing to win.

JYK did a USWO 18th hole LEXI (Moose) on 16...leaving a downhill 10 foot birdie putt short by 18"....and a classic mistake we seen too often by Ams on really long putts....leaving her eagle putt on 18 so short.

 

I'm giving JYK the MOOSE award this week.

 

But I'm kinda most disappointed in Patty....I know it's only 2 holes...she had a driving average today of 292...with her length...she should have dismantled/destroyed the course at under 6200 yards to chase down the leaders.

 

IMO....players too often over analyze things.

Both JYK and Patty both yammered for quite some time with Dave and Jason to try to pin point their approaches on 18...only to both fan their shots to the right.

 

OK...rant over.

I've had a bad week...about 10 of my fav teams and players gagged it up.

Maria moved up to 89th on the CME points list, so she should avoid Q-Series.

 

Heck, another solid finish this week and she might even creep into the tour championship. 

 

On the other side of the coin, after a solid opening round, Muni put up two lackluster rounds to finish near the bottom of the players making the cut, and managed to drop two spots on the points list to #102. She's scheduled to play this week at the Cognizant.

 

Shout out to Jodi for her best finish of the season. Heck, it's her best finish since the 2020 Marathon Classic over a year ago.

A fifth place finish was enough to move Maria from outside of top-100 to #89; but, the lifting gets heavier after that.

 

Maria will need a T2 or better to move inside #60.  Of course, a win will catapult her over Jennifer Kupcho onto the stardom she's destined to ride.

As usual...the 2 day pro-am is HUGE....played over 3 courses.

Tons of retired LPGA pros and POSER gals too.

 

You've nailed it.  I've played in the pro-am every year since before the event moved to Seaview.  The pro-am has gotten bigger and bigger which is both good and bad.  I get the feeling that unless you are a part of a select few you no longer have any chance of getting a day with a known player or even a player in the actual tournament.  It used to be that one of your two days you always played with a player who was actually on tour and part of the main tournament field and on the other day you'd play with a Symetra Tour player or a known retired LPGA player.  These days we seem to get paired with girls who've never made a cut on the Symetra tour.  The worst one was an "Influencer" who couldn't have been better than an 8 handicap.   Most enjoyable Pro through the years was Sarah Brown from the Golf Channel and the best player was Ariya Jutanugarn her first year playing in the event.

 

All that being said, the pro-am is a fun event every year.   Bigger isn't always better though.

There's so many of these "Influencers" out there, you'll have to be more specific in this particular guessing game.

I'm sure the list is TOO LONG and too time consuming for @SurfDuffer to type out the names...just sayin.

 

One of the pro-am pros is a local gal...I think she now lives in Vegas along with her sister (also a past competitive golfer) who lives there too....I bumped this pro-am pro when I was practicing years ago here....she signed a TM ball and gave it to me.

 

She knows a lot of Big Break gals....I asked her if she would consider auditioning and said it wasn't for her.

IMO...she would have easily made it onto the show...she's attractive and she seems like she could be a Drama Queen too....two requisites for the show.

 

A lot of BB gals would play on the now defunct CN Cdn Women's tour because the payouts were fairly generous.

I attended a few events.

 

A BB gal told me there was a lot of free booze after filming....to get the gals more loose lipped as they headed into confessionals for taping.

She said the cameras were literally going about 16-18 hours a day.

BB met the chopping block because it was too expensive to produce.

I liked the BB.

Played with two BBers over the years at this event.  Kelly Villareal from the Atlantis season was one who comes to mind.
