2022 KPMG Women's PGA Championship (Jun 23-26)

[Yellow Jacket]

Unsurprisingly, the walking scorers have to turn in their phones before heading out on the course. So no more photos the rest of the week except when I’m off on Saturday. My Sunday group tees off 10 about half an hour before the leaders, so I won’t be able to get pics or video of the finish.

Feel bad for Emma having to putt with her wedge after her putter kinda broke.  She is visibly upset.

Is Sophia Popov the biggest one off winning fraud in LPGA history?  

 

After winning her major, what has she done besides do well at the match play last year and miss a bunch of cuts ? I guess she will be riding that exemption til the wheels fall off.

Unfortunately I think she will be a one hit wonder.  She did not play well at the Solheim and has not played well since.  

Still got her Major so that is an accomplishment.

Did she slam the club? They changed the rule to allow a broken club to be replaced if it breaks during the normal course of play. Only if she intentionally damaged it would she have to continue without it.

No, that would be Pernilla. Brittany Lang would be close behind.

She slammed it against her foot

She hit it against her foot and the head came loose, she could still use it, but chose the wedge, well that's how it was explained we didn't see it

What happened? It's 3am here in Australia and I just turned the tv on and saw her crying with wedge in hand after a putt.

Commentators said that she missed a putt and slammed the putter into her foot in disgust and that loosened the putter head.

Bummer, akin to Si Woo Kim at the Masters. I think he putted with his 3 wood. 

[Dazgore]

Nevermind, just saw your replies

[Rapidcat]

So does anyone know what happened to Emma, then, no-ones posted anything to explain🤣

[Argonne69]

Anyone get the morning 'GolfWRX Morning 9' email? We're in the middle of an LPGA major week, and in two days there's one mention of the LPGA, and it's LIV related. Pathetic. 

 

[Stooch]

Sophia heard the chatter lol

[HankScorpio]

Is In Gee playing the same course as the other women? 🙃

[Stooch]

Sounds like afternoon will get the better of it, Nelly mentioned there was a couple hours of roughness this morning.  Don't think the afternoon will pull an Ingee but probably some get to -4.

I dunno but there aren't too many scenarios that I would enjoy more than an In Gee runaway.  

[Rustbelt]

Is In Gee playing the same course?  She indeed is flying high. 

[18majors]

"I would've taken -1 when I teed off this morning," Nelly was unflappable.

[woahnelly]

They said this course is longer than the PGA course this week 😂

 

Must be the annual driver - wedge post major event ! 

[Stooch]

Ouch!!! Sei Young Kim

[8602081]

Wow,

 

Some of these holes are super long, especially for women..

Definitely Bomber's paradise..

 

585 yards/Par 5/Hole 10 is an example.

Looking forward to heading out to Congo tomorrow...the course should start drying out as well, and hopefully play a bit faster

[Stooch]

Ingee had herself a day👏  Depending on how tough it plays as it dries out, Ingee can par the rest of the way and probably still be good or in at least a playoff.

[kmbean]

Lizette with a smooth 80.

[woodriff]

Long tournament yet, but today it’s a race for second.

[Creedo77]

They’ll turn the sub air on these green and firm them up overnight. That lead whether it be 7 or 5 by the end of the day won’t last as this tournament goes on 

[Warrick]

Nice round In Gee
 

[Dazgore]

Nice interview with In Gee, kudos, must be hard when English is not your first language.

 

[BC33]

The broadcast is much more enjoyable with John Wood rather than Jerry Foltz.
