I was out there too.  Groups were playing in 5:15.  Pins were easy.  Fairways were firm.  Many were hitting 300 yards on 18 downhill.  If they move the pins closer to the edges, scores will go up and rounds will take 6 hours.

 

Twosomes today, so hopefully it'll stay in the 5 hour range. Fingers crossed.

@Whoa Nelly

 

Grace Kim, who's paired with Danielle Kang, is USGA's featured group streaming this morning.

Is it just one featured group today? or is the 2nd Featured Group = "TBA"?
 

==> (Edit: They've just mentioned the Afternoon Featured Group = Nelly Korda & Andrea Lee ... tee time 12:38pm (Not sure what time the Featured Group will come on Livestream)

To be fair, there are a number of quick players. Nelly is very quick. How many times has the TV broadcast almost missed her approach shot because the camera wasn't quick enough to cut over to her?  I swear she's hit a number of shots while her playing partner's ball is still in the air. 

 

Now, I can see if the first player to hit has their shot do something odd like completely fly the green, and the other player(s) wants to discuss a possible club change with their caddie. However, waiting in the fairway for the green to clear should give each player in the group plenty of time to select a club, and be ready to hit.

 

We got there fairly early, and these were some of the first few groups that started on 9. They start on 9 rather than 10. A volunteer told us they were already on the clock. One player walked off 18, and went to 1, and teed off while the rest of her group was still on 18 green. We watched one player that was +12 grind for 2-3 minutes over a punch out on the 15th.

Sorry about the multiple posts. I wasn’t that upset about the slow play!

Just saw Nelly’s presser. For a player who seems to check most of the boxes for future lpga “it girl” her personality is just non-existent. She almost comes off as angry or annoyed at some points. If Jessica comes off as ditzy, Nelly comes off as the wicked, angry sister. Definitely more Cristie Kerr than Nancy Lopez. Too bad, the Kordas have such a compelling story, immigrant parents, successful sporting family, blond. Sitting on a flight next to Nelly would be boring compared to sitting next to JYK. 
 

Does any of that matter? No, she is playing to be the best female golfer in the world. However, could you imagine her earning potential if she came across more likeable?

I had not seen the presser, I went to YouTube to watch it after reading comments about it. Having just watched it, my reaction is: what is all the fuss about? The comment that she comes across as the “wicked angry sister” is ridiculous. Add in the comment that Jessica is the “ditzy” sister, also eye rolling. Apparently you have some personal beef with this family. Good thing is you are still free to express your opinions as you please.

If this wind keeps picking up and stays around, DK is gonna be much higher up the leaderboard at the end of the day than she is now.

Good start by both.

[caniac6]

I have only watched early coverage of the Memorial. This is a lot more interesting.

[IcemanYVR]

I don't want to jinx anyone, but we could be in for a real treat with Nelly and Andrea today, both off to good starts and stuffing it close on 4

Big fan of ladies golf and particularly Women's College golf. Really anxious to see if Ingrid Lindblad can hang on.

 

 I love Mr Nicklaus but this is so much more compelling!

What does the LPGA Tour TV coverage have against showing full field scores? PGA Tour TV coverage provides full field scores on a regular basis.

Yikes.  Double bogey on the 1st.  Let's hope she can shake it off.

I prefer Paige Mackenkie over Pressell.

When we met Nelly (she just signed an autograph for my son at 2 events) I got a very different impression. First time was almost like “what, you know who I am and want an autograph? From me, why me.” Just a kind of sweet teenager who was finding her way. 
 

2nd time was very similar but more that she’s not completely comfortable in the spotlight. Kind of just a girl who wants to be a girl but has to be this media darling. 
 

If that makes sense.

Lindblad with the very strong start.

[HankScorpio]

Lydia lurking... Let's keep it going!
