2021 Pelican Women’s Championship (Nov 11-14)

[HMHS]

Well, at least Su Oh had a hole-in-one today... I'd say she don't bother with that "reward" of a 2 yr lease.

I'm guessing Pavarisa also doesn't take on the 2 year lease either.

I think it's take the lease or it's a no payout from the dealership.

 

It's crazy there have been three HIO's on #12 so far.

Has there been any aces on the other par 3's this week?

 

It's hard not to like Su Oh.

I know I'd be FANBOYING this group...the LOVELY In Gee "Dumbo" Chun is in the pairing too.

Hey Sheila, hand me a chain saw.🤣

 

So we have "KAREN's" here...do you use the same term in OZ for nasty middle aged women?....just askin for a friend.

We do.

 

My ex wife was named Karen, and a Karen🤣 (no, she was ok really). The male equivalent here is a Kevin, I am not one of those, no matter what 15majors might think🤣

 

Mike Clayton would create a dystopian wasteland even if he was designing a course in the amazon rain forest.

WTH is going on with the LPGA stats?

 

Before posting the above I reconfirmed Leona's driving stats that I had seen over the first 3 rounds, now they show her driving distance as 243 yards (no round 4 drives incl so far in rd 4) and have carved off 20+ yards from her previous rounds.

 

Oh well, just hurry up and win, will you.

The HS intern who manages the lpga.com website is writing mid terms this week...so he's not concentrating on accuracy.

 

If The Invisible Woman could do something better than Smiley Mike...she'd actually hire and pay a professional to manage the lpga.com website...just sayin.

I have a challenge for Molly - get a women's LPGA Masters major on the calendar. She could personally call whoever at Augusta National every month, get sponsors in line, re-work the Women's majors (not increase to 6) and build up a persistent relationship over no doubt many years to get this done.

 

Anything is possible - Always in All Ways, just ask this guy 

I saw on yesterday's coverage Jen Kupcho winning the 2019 Augusta women's amateur and it looked great, need this for an LPGA major (please).

 

Just don't pitch to the club a pitch and putt course set-up.

Hopefully Paul Fusco told SYK to ignore her and I think Patty T has the smarts and the ability to just turn her back on Xtina and her antics.

 

From my impressions of her, Patty does not suffer fools gladly.  She is polite, quiet but confident.

I'd agree...and not unlike some others...yes we know who they are.....Patty T doesn't seem like an attention seeking *****.

 

Does Patty hang out with some other LPGA pros?....or just her team.

From what little I know, she sticks mostly to her team.  She only met Ariya this year (i mean as in actually sitting down and having a conversation with her) and not just on the course.  Patty and Pajaree are friends with Atthaya.

I’d like to see Jennifer K or Leona get her first win, but Leona would have to go crazy low and Jennifer would need to finish like she did at Augusta.

Shoot!  I guess that jinx thing really happens.  Both Leona and Jennifer are +3 on the front 9 - only ones over par till way down the leaderboard. 🥺

A simplistic comment by me at both +3 today mid round is that maybe they are trying too hard to push for a win from a few strokes back, they wouldn't be the first. s*** or bust as they say.

 

I guess that's why they are yet to win on the LPGA Tour, they're still working out how to get it done.

 

I suspect that both of them will figure it out, they have the games.

Yes, quite a few elite and/or popular LPGA pros only hang out mainly with themselves and/or their team...it's lonely at the top....they treat their golf career as a JOB.

 

On practice days, Gulbis would show up early, do her work, leave and then likely spent the afternoon working with her team setting up corporate initiatives/outings....Gulbis knew her bread was buttered outside the ropes.

 

Lexi, I believe, also doesn't really hang out much with others...in the old days...I think Lexi might have hung out with Jennifer Johnson....and maybe Jaye Marie Green has been a long time LPGA gal pal too.

Donnie(sp?) Green (dad) is a funny guy.

 

I spoke with Dave Hull in 2015....Charley doesn't hang out much with others....and if Charley wanted to have dinner with another pro...she would contact Lexi.

Dave Hull is a SUPER nice gent...he's the anti/opposite BJ Wie.

 

If Mollie wants to demonstrate what she is capable of...she and the LPGA team should seek out an Int'l Crown sponsor along with venues lined up.

There are a ton of corporations with global footprints and customers.

 

I think Thailand...with Patty, Ariya, Moriya and Thitikul with that much FIRE POWER might be the fav to beat the US & Koreans.

I liked the Int'l Crown...especially the last one hosted in Incheon...the Korean fans, Flying Dumbo's and Attack Girls were going nuts...not just rooting for the Koreans but other teams too.

 

BTW...Jenn Johnston quickly disappeared off the face of the golf world/planet....I think some of it was attributed to an injury???

I spoke with a loop....he said Jenn basically changed loops on a weekly basis.

I believe when Jenn won on tour...it was only Lexi congratulating her on the sidelines.

I suspect that would not be indicative of JJ so much as reflective of a time before the water bottle showers came into vogue on the LPGA.

SNaP V2 is now +4.🤣

 

Your JINX was compounded by @Argonne69 reverse karma nonsense🤣...he has a HILARIOUS post on page 3.

Arg said Jenn K is a MENTAL SOFTY and watching her CLOSE out an event is like watching an Olympic Steeplechase racer falling into the POND....the post is "Candidate of the Year" worthy.🤣

 

Did you also notice the commentator's JINX yesterday on SNaP V2's last hole....it was mentioned Jenn K had not bogey'd in her last 45 holes...YUP...Jenn GAGGED and closed out with a bogey.🤣

 

And to add insult to Jenn K's poor play today...TREAT EVERYONE EQUALLY...the Golf Gods NOTICE this.

Kupcho yesterday on 18 only gave Hsu a high five....yet when Lexi putted out...Jenn walked over to give Lexi a HUG...and HUGGED Lexi's loop too.

#DIVERSITYANDINCLUSIONCOUNTS.🤣

[KBong]

Hmmm...I thought all my bad mouthing and trashing Xtina would allow her to surge and keep up with Nelly and Lexi.....hmmmm.🤣

In many respects, I appreciate that style of play.  Its the "play it safe" versus the " go for it/win it" attitude.  It seems that very few win with the play it safe approach . . .  Leona and Kupcho are safe enough to maintain their playing status, so it makes sense.  I suppose, lesser placed players would play for the highest finish possible to boost them up the priority list, etc.

Agree.

Play for the win.

I believe it was Trevino who said...ya get few chances TO WIN...so play to win.

I think Arnie also felt the same way too.

 

I have seen Trevino and Jack play at Cherry Hill Club and the Abbey, but sadly never saw Arnie play....Arnie might had been at those events...but I never went out to follow his group???....I think I would remember if I saw Arnie play.

Let's face it.

You and I know that if a women's "Masters" was to occur...it should have happened by now.

There's nothing stopping the boys at Augusta from making this happen NOW.

Action speak volumes.

 

Play it the week following the Masters.... or to let the course 'rest'....play it 2 weeks later.

 

I believe many many viewers would tune in to watch a Women's Masters at Augusta.

 

IMO...it's kinda a joke that they only play a practice rd and 1 competitive rd at the Augusta National Women's Am.

There s/b 4 competitive rds w/ a cut at Augusta for the ANWA.

IMO...the current format of the AON Risk/Reward is a mess.....either reformat it or terminate it.

 

I have an idea...I know there are others out there too...so let's hear them.

 

I think to qualify for the AON prize....a pro must play the last 2 or 3 tournaments...and assuming they are 72 hole events....complete ALL 4 rds.

So if you trunk slam or WD (even if you're sick or injured) in any of the 2 or 3 events...you're out of the contest.

 

It will add participation and stress to play well to qualify for the $1M...none of this sitting out like Hannah Green or WD like Lee Anne Pace did a couple of years ago cause she gagged on the qualifying hole and WD so the score would not count.

 

Maybe not to steal the thunder of the big 1st place check at the CME...maybe the last 2 or 3 events are the ones prior to the CME.

 

If that should include the limited field events on the Fall Asia swing...so be it.

If ya look at the 2021 AON top 10 who would have the best chance to win...all these pros would qualify for the fall Asia swing events.

 

There should also be a minimum of events played to also qualify for the $1M.

 

I think AON should cancel it on the PGA tour...do they even talk about it on the PGA tour?

What does Ryan Serhant have to do with anything lol? If Molly, tried to pull some of the things he has done, she'd be fired and laughed at at the same time. Furthermore, I don't think Molly is obsessed with appearing nude on a reality show to show off like Ryan does. Furthermore, I don't think anyone else in golf is like Fredrik Eklund who gets jealous because the nude scene didn't go to him. 

 

I think the 2022 calendar will tell us where things are and what may possible. Everything that has been announce was well in the works before she took the helm but we'll see.

It's an afterthought on the PGA Tour and with the money growing just for showing up, $1million is nothing.

Did they play the 17 as a driveable par 4 today?

Did Nelly hit the ball into the water behind the green?

 

The 17 is a JOKE as a driveable par 4....no stress, no rough or penalties areas entering in or trouble in front of the green.

More nonsense pitch & putt LPGA course set ups.

 

Lexi also bogey'd......what happened?

Just did a quick Google....I don't know or care about any cr*p this guy does.

 

I'm old as dirt and don't keep up with this nonsense.

I think anyone under 50 is a Pink Shirt Millennial. 🤣.

Hmmm...I don't have the stream...not likely.....but will Lexi gag on 18 and send she and Lydia into a playoff with Lydia winning...fingers crossed.

Nice to see Alabane shoot a flawless 64.

Although a bogey on 18....I'm happy to see Porna have a good event in a tough year for her....I'd LUV to see her win one day.....she's easy to root for.

 

Disappointed to see Patty T gag to a 70.

Fassi is back to POSING a bit with a 72.

Yeah, some Golf Channel stream. 

 

Nelly yanked a 9 iron pitch that wound up short sided with a bunker in front. She tried to flop it over and chunked it into the bunker. Got that out about as well as she probably could have but then inexplicably three jacked from 10 feet.

 

Lexi had a long look for birdie and ran it by about 5 feet and missed coming back.
