[Seamus_McDuff]

First two rounds are on GC and streaming this year. Although, it doesn’t start until more than three hours after the last group goes off.

Going with Andrea Lignell this year. 

[JungleJimbo]

Seems like the "Rose Zhang PR machine" has been mobilised...  ahead of her likely announcement w.r.t. turning  pro?

 

...Albeit credit where it's due ... l like the headline "Will a Rose 🌹  Bloom in Augusta"?

 

Familiarity with the setup (Rose Zhang's 4th participation at ANWA) = likely she is the favourite to win this year?

Davis' bucket hat game has been inconsistent of late!

 

No bucket hat = No win.

"She recently broke the record for most consecutive weeks at No. 1 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking at 131, passing Lydia Ko, who currently tops the Rolex Rankings for professional players.

 

Should she stay in the top spot for the next month, Zhang will pass Leona Maguire for most total weeks at No. 1 on April 19 at 136 weeks."

My comment: all records are there to be broken, happens eventually.

 

[Rapidcat]

The thing with Rose is that she will get the most weeks as world #1 am in only two college seasons, not 4 like Leona.

 

She's a very special talent.

[ebk]

Rose Zhang is indeed a special talent, as well as a special human.  Very humble.  Works hard.  Nice to folks.

 

I hope she plays well in ANWA, and hope it puts her on top at the end.

[woahnelly]

Lots of talented golfers. Im guessing Lopez-Chacarra is the sibling of the LIV golfer ?

 

I am rooting for Amari Avery and Minsol Kim. 

[BrianMcG]

They are reporting Anna may have to card a 9 for the first hole instead of a 5. She took a preferred lie in the first cut. They are playing preferred lies in the fairway due to all the rain. 

[elwhippy]

Just about to switch on. Great too see ANGC being played at distances I can relate to.

[OgeecheeMac1]

All of a sudden, it seems Rose Zhang has gained a personality. She used to appear that she couldn’t give a s*** about anything.

Rose Zang will turn 20 on May 24th 2023.....Had Lydia stayed an amateur till the same age Zang is now Zang would NOT be holding the record! She will never be RR#1 as a teenager! These records have to be put in some perspective...

Thanks! I wondered about that. Watched for about 1/2 hour and couldn’t figure out how they got water on 18. 😉

Looks like on the ANWA leaderboard she did get a 9 and shot a 76. 

[postfold]

Looking forward to watching this.  Have no qualms about cheering for Rose, she's wonderful.

It's best to know the rules of the sport you play.

@ChronicSlicer  from the below-the-line chatter responding to Brentley Romine's tweet for Golf Channel... perhaps Anna Davis' Lift-Clean-Place from the 'rough'= Wasn't as clear-cut(😀) a violation? Depends on the rough, i suppose.  Link: https://twitter.com/BrentleyGC/status/1641120354516058127

I'm rooting for hometown girl (age 15) Gianna Clemente to make the cut!  

[postfold]

Thought Anna handled it fine.  She messed up, it's golf.  Now she needs to grind out a good round tomorrow to get to Saturday.

Never would have happened if she wore the bucket hat

[postfold]

On another subject, I like Cara Banks as a commentator.  She did a nice job today.

I thought she teamed well with Morgan.

Coulda shoulda woulda - records are records, not conjecture. I do agree with you however about what most likely would have happened.

 

Anyway, I wouldn't worry about it - amateur records are fine but the pinnacle of the game is the pros and Lydia sits atop that pinnacle.

Davis was very chilled about it all.

 

She played well for her last 12 holes with 4 birdies and no drop shots.

As @postfold wittily quipped ... "it never would've happened if she had worn a bucket hat".  

 

.."Paying it forward"... timestamp ~2m17s for the reporting on the Anna Davis penalty.
