Oops, I'm not that dedicated!

Yuka's week 75-66-74-66 😂

[HMHS]

Nasa gives “openings” but Hannah green won’t take it so she’ll win this! 🎌

 

no I doubt I’ll jinx the bunny hop! 

[Playmaker88]

LPGA just came on TV....I see that Morgan is still wearing her Grandma's clothes.😆

[Argonne69]

Surprised to see that Nasa doesn't have a top 10 this season. Stick a fork in this one. Her ballstriking and putting are solid, and Hannah isn't putting any pressure on her. 

 

[Pingfitz]

Tried to watch yesterday and today, too much Foltz and company.

I think Nasa is the best players out of Japan.  She just needs to win a big one..

Go girl!!

I may as well throw the old jinx at Yu Liu, Let's go Yu!!!!

Glad the jinx didn't work out. Looks like her first top 20 since last November 👍

[Argonne69]

I don't think Celine went under the ball. To me it looked like she simply missed the ball on the inside, and the ball fell sideways into the divot hole.

I doubt trying next week will be much better for you, seems Foltz and company are always lurking. It must be their job or something. 😉

Unless of course Nasa pulls a Jin Young van de Velde.

[JungleJimbo]

Whilst the Low Round of the day (R4) = “-5” ...

 

Christina Kim’s “-4” was also eye-catching, ie given her jump up the Leaderboard! (Ditto XiYu Lin’s jump, with her “-5” in R4)

JYK was not in her form after that mistake..

I think she might have just given up after that..

 

[ChronicSlicer]

Congrats to Nasa!! Pretty smooth sailing after JYK's trick shot failed.

Nice week for Madelene, Yu, Chella, Lilia 

 

 

[Stooch]

Pretty dominant by Nasa but when she get hots she's pretty tough.

[HMHS]

おめでとう

Nasa🎌🎌🎌🎌🎌!

I hope they do, I'm bored watching CBS' PGA tag team golf right now.... I'm more just listening to Dottie Pepper's commentaries rather than watching, truth be told...

 

 

 

I rarely watch the PGA TOUR or the Seniors. Did Dottie call anyone a choking dog?

 

Sigh, I wish TGC treated the women better. Better broadcast times, better production and more time on air.

That character above is more appropriate and applies to both Nasa AND say…. Haotong Li (when he won a European Tour tourney) 🤪

Not sure as I wasn’t paying full attention and kept channel surfing between CBS, ABC and, Golf channel, even Fox (nascar) … when I did pay attention, didn’t hear Dottie say anything of that sort in the telecast…. 
 

Don’t think she’ll say that term again after her and Mallon buried that hatchet already, I think…  still I like her “no nonsense” way of commenting… but I’m sure the golfers have their own opinion(s) on her 👀

Oops!  Then I’ll go with Celine Boutier - and Jennifer Kupcho to finish ahead of Yealimi Noh 😁. 

 

 

Yealimi lucked out this week, beat both!

[wjdpar1]

Just got done watching.  For God's sake, quit pouring water, booz, etc., over the winner.   LPGA, is cheapens your product.

 

Wonder what Tiger would have done if that happened to him?

Incredible. That's some poor decision making on Jin Young's part. Take the penalty, drop back by the bridge, and move on. Costly two strokes.

That is mind-blowing.  Exactly the kind of decision JYK never screws up.

Just watching the Sunday morning replay and I don't know that I've ever laid the responsibility at the door of a caddie vs. the player but you could tell the minute he was down there he was encouraging that shot and I'm sitting here (quietly because my wife and two dogs are still asleep) saying, "noooooooooooooooooo . . ."

I was glad they showed different angles on that first JYK attempt.  If it was just the one behind-the-ball angle, it didn't look like a particularly hard shot.  When they showed other angles, you could see how deep that ditch was and how fast she'd have to get the ball up to clear the wall. 

 

She can certainly play free and aggressive today, but unless Nasa has a seriously off day that hole knocked her out of the picture.  Hard to see a 63 on that course.  We'll still get lots of screen time because golf channel, though.    

If you're keen to re-watch JYK's R3 hole #17 troubles ...
Someone uploaded a 3+hour R3 replay (with Japanese commentary)

 

JYK's R3 hole #17 = from timestamp ~2hr55m onwards

 

@Supermilo Is there anything interesting in that Japanese commentary?
 

 

[JungleJimbo]

@Supermilo Is there some increaed chatter online w.r.t. Nasa Hataoka's demeanour at this week's tournament
... or have i just found some one-off ramblings from a random Japanese Vlogger, who was (or appears to be?) raving about how Nasa's bowing to the golf course to say 'thanks'/ fixing pitch marks etc = getting rave-reviews from attendees etc?

 

(Link below... from timestamp ~6m23s... i'm using google's auto-translate ... i.e. couldn't be sure!)

Wow, didn't immediately realise that Dottie Pepper's "freaking choking dogs" comments = from 2007! (i.e. 15 years ago)... people have Long memories here!

 

..(ESPN, Sept2007) "After 'choking' dogs comment, U.S. rebounds for Solheim Cup win"

..(GolfChannel, 2009): https://www.golfchannel.com/article/randall-mell/quick-round-dottie-pepper 

 

Quote

"When audio technicians failed to cut off her microphone before going to a commercial break at the last Solheim Cup in Sweden, Pepper uttered a line that made the American team want to place her face on a punching bag. After Sherri Steinhauer missed a short putt at the 18th hole, allowing Europe to halve a match with her and Laura Diaz, Pepper let loose with her famous Choking freaking dogs comment. Though Pepper never meant the line to be aired, it created a furor within the American teams ranks."

Great to see Hataoka win her 2nd 72 hole LPGA tournament.
