2022 AmazingCre Portland Classic (Sep 15 - 18)

[Argonne69]

It's going to be a fun Sunday. Eighteen players within 5 shots at the top. Ten are looking for their first wins, and only three have multiple wins. Could be anyone holding the trophy at the end of the day.

Make more money, play less golf...I've heard something about this lately 🤔

Love the Ralph Lauren RLX style.

 

Andrea killing it.

Nelly or Brooke coming back to win would be only the two sorta players taking the shine of the win as they've been here and done that before .......... so you know one of them will probably do it, or Hannah drops a 64 😂

I'm having a hard time believing we will actually get to this live this afternoon.  Due to rain the PGA is starting early to get it in and they said it would be streamed live.  I know the PGA is playing "the nobody gives a crap open" but I still I can't believe they would show live LPGA over PGA on the golf channel lol

[postfold]

Looking forward to this final round, love seeing so many players with so much to play for crammed together near the top of the leader board.  The course is there for the taking, put up a low number and collect the rewards.

[cannuck]

Nice to see NYC make the cut! Go low today!

One story about Lilia Vu. Her whole family used to practice at the Hoover Driving Range in Westminster, OC almost every afternoon. She was a chubby little 7 to 9 year old girl. Her brother ended up playing DII college ball. Her Dad is now a golf coach.

Instead of watching Lilia's beautiful future LPGA swing and I could have learned something, I was mostly watching her mom's swing, from behind. Obviously this mistake has ruined my game until this day.

But, but... there's NFL today... 😁

 

Seriously though I'm expecting they show Hinako and Ayaka or else! (or else I will watch whatever is on CBS or FOX or NFL Network 😆...)

[pmcuk]

Getting exciting!

 

How about Weiwei Zhang - four birdies in the first four holes. Way to go!

lol yeah, I don't care what they show really ........ I either flip between the LPGA or a football game or I flip between 2 footballs games 😂

Look at the scores my gosh, they set it up for action, it's a boat race lol.  Sucks if you were near the top of the leaderboard and can only shoot 68 lol

Anyone find the sponsorship to be odd? The ads are weird. I can’t tell what they are selling. What is a cre?

AmazingCre is a Korean clothing company. Target audience is probably mostly Koreans. However, I think they also want to expand to the US and the World like Japan's Uniqlo.

Hell of a round by Bianca today 63. That's gotta be a great feeling for her. Yet again kind of a bummer knowing that great of a round couldn't get ya a top ten.

[18majors]

 

Bianca put it all together and shot the low round of the week, -9.  Tentatively, she has 101.147 CME points and ranks #118.

 

Keep it going, Bianca!

Weiwei Zhang should take Paula Reto out for dinner, Paula's bogey on 18 get Weiwei into next week.

[ChronicSlicer]

Congrats to Andrea on her 1st win. Hannah and Esther with a few bad shots coming down the stretch kinda gave that away. Another good week from Lilia Vu, looks like her Epson tour season last year really helped her regain that confidence and game. Another good look at Maja Stark, she kinda reminds me of Brooke a little.

[HMHS]

Well done Andrea!!! From the depths of missing the cut in QSchool  2021 to Epson to today all within less that a year!!! 👏  Congrats to your father / caddy too! 

 

 

[Stooch]

Congrats to Andrea on her first win, she closed very strong, Narin An had a great day, she was just a little far behind.  Lots of strong finishes by many who needed them

Target audience is probably rather wealthy people who have way too much money. 378,000 won for a golf polo..that's $270 dollars

I thought Adidas $70 polos are expensive, LOL. Most of my polos are around $15 from Costco.

Like in horse racing, down the stretch they come!  Below are CME ranking milestones:

 

Top-60     Qualification for CME Tour championship             Brittany Altomare     424.345

Top-80     2023 Category 1 priority                                         Pauline Roussin        298.870

Top-100    2023 LPGA card                                                      Rouxin Liu                 189.917

Top-150    Exemption to 2022 Q-Series                                  Brooke Matthews      45.379

First, a big pat on the back to the Golf Channel. We've all (rightfully) kvetched about the lousy coverage over the years, but I think they nailed it today. With a dozen players in contention, they did a great job covering the action. Yeah, there were a few commercials, but we saw a ton of important shots. 

 

What a year for Andrea. We've seen so many top amateur/college players struggle on tour, but she looked like a seasoned pro out there. Yeah, I had a tear in my eye watching her post-round interview. 

 

Major kudos to all the chasers. Nobody folded on Sunday, which is almost unheard of. Collectively, that was some seriously good golf. 

 

Biggest surprise was Daniela with her career best finish. 

 

[18majors]

 

Hopefully, Yealimi Noh will replace Graeme Edwards and go back to Patrick Smith as her caddie.  Patrick is a much more seasoned pro than Graeme, he can help Yealimi a lot more.

I know not everyone agrees, but in my opinion this is another great example of what winning/playing on the Epson tour can do for a struggling player. Lilia Vu another great example.

 

When Andrea spoke about her grandfather, you weren't alone with that tear in your eye.

Why are you playing the blame game with caddies. Does the player not hit the shots, hit the putts. Was it Michael Grellers fault for Jordan's years of terrible play? How about Rickie, his caddies fault too I suppose.

I have come to a conclusion with a lot of golfers, for whatever reason they tend to believe the more expensive your clothing is the the better you'll play, or at least you'll look like a good golfer while your meandering through the woods looking for that $5 Pro V you pulled left for the 3rd hole in a row.
