She must have been excited to be paired with Yealimi today 😂

 

 

 

Georgia followed up on her beating of Yealimi at 2021 Solheim Cup with a much bigger beating.  But, at least Yealimi had a front row seat on how to shoot a -9 on this course.

 

We'll find out whether she learns anything tomorrow!

Heck of a round by Ruoning. Looked like she was in complete control of her swing. 'Really thought Janet was going to be the next Chinese player to win on the tour, but Ruoning certainly seems to have this one within her grasp. Of course Hyo Joo is quite capable of going low on these tough, hilly courses.

 

I'd say the pack at -9 are still in it, but they're going to have to go low again today, and get some help.

 

 

[ChronicSlicer]

For whatever reason this is a tough watch. Hopefully HyoJoo and Ruoning end up in a playoff for some excitement.

[Argonne69]

There are a couple of really good rounds going on out there, but overall the course is playing tough. Will be interesting to see if the leaders play conservative, or stay on the gas. 

 

[Argonne69]

Ruoning backing up slightly. Getting tight with 10 players within 4 shots with 9 or more holes to go. Looks like there'll be some excitement.

Looks like a 3 player race at this point. The other chasers are running out of holes.

Really hope Georgia can catch up considering that playoff loss last week. Celine's rad but G had such a stellar final round - really feel like she won even though she didn't.

 

Nelly making a charge but yeah, prolly out of holes to catch up unless some magic happens.

Ruoning is doing everything she can to make it close, lucky for her the players who were closest to her are doing nothing.

She does seem unflappable, though. Hasn't seemed rattled in the least.

Glad to see Patty doing well, will be a nice boon for team Thailand if she is back to form 

 

Nice round for Japanese rookie Minami Katsu, 63.. duh bc Yealimi was in her group! 

 

[Argonne69]

Nice week for Patty.

Top 5 at worst, maybe top 3! 

 

She struggled so much last year - good seeing her back in form. Her swing is just so damn tidy. Love watching her play. 

[Argonne69]

Getting interesting. Ruoning had several opportunities to put this one away, but the putter cooled. 

 

That said, horrible teeshot by Georgia on the 17th.

But a stellar chip! 

[Argonne69]

Solid putt by Ruoning. Gutsy performance. Just needs one more good hole. 

 

Great scrambling by Georgia today, but if she comes up short she's going to be kicking herself over the poor approach shots. 

 

[woahnelly]

Wow great shots from both into 18!

[aenemated]

Oh man, this is a great 72nd.

For folks who've been watching the 'Live' coverage ...

Are there more "Get in the Hole!" type of shouts from the crowd today/this week?

I can't remember hearing these on LPGA telecasts.  

[aenemated]

Oh man, that looked in the whole way for Yin. 

[Argonne69]

Wow is right, Grant. 

 

[Argonne69]

Dead pull by Georgia. 

[aenemated]

Ah god. She pulled it. 😞

That's gotta sting after the great putts she's hit all round. 

 

[ChronicSlicer]

Congrats to Ruoning on number 1.

Yeah, that was just a bad stroke. We all been there, a straight pull on a simple little 5 footer where you're just like "easy putt." 

 

Cool for Yin to be up there with Shanshan now. Who DOESN'T love Shanshan? 

[Argonne69]

Wasn't pretty at times, but no big blow ups, and some nice bounce backs. Five tournaments in and our second first time winner. Could be a wild season. 

 

Rough final hole for Georgia, but some consolation in back to back second place finishes. Err, maybe. 

 

Very surprised by Hyo Joo's play. Just don't expect an even par round from her when it matters. 

 

Nice charge by Carlota, but c'mon, the minute she gets a sniff of a win she folds like a cheap lawn chair. 

 

Nelly: "F-in poa"
