Ridiculous how GC ends the coverage so early.  It's a major for goodness sake.  Who cares about a regular PGA event.

How many hours coverage have you had/getting?

 

I'm getting 4 hours in Oz for R2.

We also got 4 in Canada.   There has to be another option to watch this legal or otherwise?  The cameras are already there.  Someone should be broadcasting this thing?

She not that young at 26. But she is still very talented. She had 2 wins on the KLPGA in 2020 where she really broke out and finished 4th on the money list. 2021 she had 0 wins and finished 9th. She caught some attention playing well at the BMW last year and parlayed that into winning Q school (her or Pauline won, can't remember off the top). 

 

I'd say she's more like A Lim as a late breakout star  vs a prodigious talent like Hye Jin. 

I can see what you mean, I thought that she was a few years younger.

 

Love her swing and her attitude but maybe needs some better decision making.

 

I suspect that she will shoot some low rounds when everything falls in place.

Yeah, agree.

 

My 4 hours is on a 1 hour delay, how's that?

 

LPGA programming seems such a dog's breakfast around the world.

Yeah it's more a testament to the depth on the KLPGA vs her skills. Wouldn't surprise me a bit if she wins in the near future. 

[Rustbelt]

LPGA really needs better broadcast partner.  At least, do like Tennis Channel where you can stream other tournaments.

PGA Superstore is going to be sold out of 7 and 9 woods on Monday if In Gee keeps firing darts. Lol. 

 

 

Awww, yes . . . well @Argonne69 . . . we must be similar in age, so you surely remember the time when golf was really focused on replacing the long irons with the woods or hybrids . . . too bad Ping can't call them the 7-Heaven and the Divine-9  🙂 🙂

I tried signing up for Peacock this afternoon but there doesn’t seem to be any way without a US Credit card or US PayPal acct. It’s a real shame we can’t watch more women’s golf.

I’m pretty good at finding “otherwise” options but absolutely nothing here 😞

[Golf Dino]

Is it just me, or does John Wood sound very similar to Bones MacKay?

lol, yes I remember you saying that.

It's a real shame the women can't even be shown on an alternate channel or station.  Any you wonder why no one watches the LPGA.  It's because it's never on TV so no one knows they are playing.

 

And in Canada, @IcemanYVR you should know we have 4 TSN channels and 4 Sportsnet channels so there is an ability to show the game.  Instead, what do we have on TSN?  5 Hours of the US Senior Mens Open!!!!  Really?  No one wants to watch these old guys.  And Sportsnet is showing Poker on all of its channels.  What the he11 is this?  Ridiculous 🤬

[Ronnie Mundt]

Yeah this coverage BLOWS.

My Ping 7w has a 3w shaft in it, and the 9w has a 5w shaft it it, so I've been heavenly for a few years now. 

 

Actually it's more of a Frankenwood. 

 

[Argonne69]

In Gee coming back towards the field with two bogies. I think an even par round would be acceptable, but it would a shame if she didn't stretch her lead. 

 

[Dsk321]

So with this coverage style, we won’t even see the final on Sunday? Or will they all tee off early. My mind is blown at how terrible this coverage is.

Weekend coverage starts at 1 pm for 3 hours. The final group will probably tee off at 11 am, so we should get to see the conclusion. 

 

Of course if there's a playoff it'll probably be punted over to Golf Channel or more likely CNBC.

I’d be ok even if it was on GolfTV. There’s no reason they can’t carry in Canada. 

[woahnelly]

Maybe the Saudi Gov't should start a women's league and broadcast it on YT for free or something.

And because it is on NBC, for every one golf shot there will be about 3-5 commercials along with a bunch of vignettes about the history of the tournament sprinkled in. 😢

[Argonne69]

In Gee's putter seems to have cooled a bit, but I think any player would be more than happy to head into the weekend with a 5 shot lead.

At least she got one of them back. If she could get one or two more coming in that would be good.

Now that my friend is an understatement!  🙂  

Compared to 3-4 years ago, She's been playing quite well the past two seasons - just not well enough to win/contend on Sunday.  But leave it to In Gee to get herself into the driver's seat at a major!  This is starting to look a little like deja vu all over again 😉  . . . like the Evian in 2016.   

I'm happy for her -- she's gone through a tough spell and win or lose, she will have much more confidence coming out of this event.

[HankScorpio]

Just saw the highlight of her bogey on 8.  The putt to save par hits the flagstick and doesn't go in.  Bad break because it was just sitting on the edge after it hit the stick.  I bet if it was a Nike ball, it would have rolled over the edge? 🤣

[Argonne69]

There are currently seven major winners within 7 shots of the lead. Plenty of golf left, but In Gee definitely controls her own fate.

you spelt Bridgestone wrong 

[HankScorpio]

What happened to Nelly?  I thought she would of had a lower score today with easier conditions.  Plus she started her round with a birdie so I thought she was going to go low.

[Argonne69]

Yup. The coverage is frikin awful. How can we have a near record performance in total blackout? 

 

Shame, Mollie. Shame. 

 

[Argonne69]

Is the cut top 60 or 70 (and ties)? 

 

Edit: looks like it's 60 and ties. No way it's moving to +4.

The walking scorer who was assigned to the group right before mine was running late so I got moved to his group with Georgia Hall, Jodi Ewart Shadoff, and Pia Babnik. A standby got my group with Nelly, Brooke, and Inbee which makes no sense because why wouldn’t you assign the standby to the no show? This was more disappointing than how Game of Thrones ended.

 

Course was playing shorter today with a number of tee boxes moved up. Georgia didn’t play super well to shoot -3 with 4 birdies, just solid fairways and greens and she took advantage of some shorter border putts.

 

No signed balls today although we may have been positioned suboptimally relative to the scoring tent.
