Yealimi Noh returns to limelight for the first time since 2021 Solheim Cup, can she reach Top-10 again?

I can name a few players who deserve to be featured over Yealimi and Ariya. 

Who is the player featured in the main photo? 
Got 'brain freeze' ... I assume it'll be one of the ladies listed as "featured group"...
some details point to JYK (with the Solaire hat and new Callaway driver)
... but doesn't quite look like JYK? (and her trousers usually has the Solaire logo too)

@Seamus_McDuff: Were you hoping that Anna Davis would be in a Featured Group?

Yes, it's Jin Young. The Getty Images photo was taken during the final round this past Sunday.

I'm swearing off making public predictions. I'm a jinx machine. My pic is stored in a safe place, and will be revealed when the winner lifts the trophy on Sunday. Lol.

One of those ex-collegiate stars who are familiar with this Golf course (per @Seamus_McDuff’s Link to that Beth Ann Nichols article)

= a “good horse 🐎 “ pick for a Top10?

eg ex-Bruins ...Patty T, or Alison Lee in good form?

Not Anna, but maybe Nanna or Leona are more deserving than Yealimi? Although, both are in pretty good groups that should get some TV time.

Quick before tee off! My picks are Inbee/Celine.  Darkhorse:  Jenny Coleman

Good pick..  I was thinking the same thing.. I don't think long hitters will have advantage on this course..

Good idea - that really increases the odds of you “picking” the winner! 🤣

[Argonne69]

No idea what's going on with Sung Hyun. She's joined Yani as a total enigma.

Well she did make the cut last event lol

[Lobby]

Go, Amy Olsen, go!

[Stooch]

Looks like Yealimi is blowing her chance for some coverage, at +6 they probably won't be paying much attention to her even in a featured group

[8602081]

Couple of Aussies covering both end of the spectrum..

 

Minjee Lee -8

Su Oh  +8

 

 

JYK had 6 birdies in a row.. that's amazing..

 

Fixed the error.. Thanks Dazgore...

 

 

Edited April 29, 2022 by 8602081
Fixed..

[Argonne69]

Minjee is in solid form. 

 

Jin Young sure doesn't stay down long when she falls off the horse.

I think you mean Aussies.

 

Kiwis are from New Zealand

Seems like quite the difference in scoring from morning to afternoon

Sometimes it's not even fair.

[Argonne69]

Those par 3s look daunting. 

 

[postfold]

I would like Brooke to get un-broken soon.

[bobfoster]

Love that 13th hole.

I think this will be a big slide for her, she lost the putter again and it looks like it broke her and I'm not sure she'll find the putter ever lol

It's hard to watch right now that's for sure.

 

Going to be optimistic that she'll putt better on poa once the tour hits the midwest and Canada but geez she isn't doing anything well at the moment

[Argonne69]

I do believe Morgan meant to say that the green was 25 yds deep/wide, and not 25 feet. I've seen some tiny greens, but not ones that were 8 yds wide or deep. Lol. 

 

[Argonne69]

Wow, those weren't some pretty awful shots by Lexi on the past two years holes. Her steep swing and the kikuya don't play nice together. 

 

Is it possible Brooke is nursing an injury? She withdrew from the Lotte, and we didn't hear why. 

 

Don't think I've ever seen Inbee miss a putt that short.

Lexi looks juuust a little steamed.

You know what you may be on to something here.  That reaction when she made a putt on 18 almost looked like someone in some discomfort.

[Stooch]

I'm not saying but I'm just saying, Brooke couldn't make a putt all day when she was pulling the flag and she leaves it in and makes a putt just like when she was putting decently at the start of the season lol

What would hurt putting but not swinging full out?

Per her agent it was an undisclosed illness.

 

https://golfweek.usatoday.com/2022/04/19/brooke-henderson-la-open-withdrawal-illness/

 

Brooke Henderson will tee it up this week at the DIO Implant LA Open. The Canadian star withdrew midway through last week’s Lotte Championship, where she is twice a winner, with an unspecified illness. Henderson’s agent said she’s feeling better and will compete in Los Angeles.

 

The 24-year-old has played some of the most consistent golf on tour this year without winning. Her worst finish in six starts is a share of 13th at the Chevron Championship. She has four finishes of T-6 or better, with her best coming at the season-opening Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, where she finished second.

[grm24]

Fun with numbers. Is this any good? 🤣
