Yes, but in Canada or other countries, no access to Peacock or the App, so you lose that hour.

Tomorrow’s their day.

Commercial break, 2 putts and a tee shot, back to Commercial break. It's getting almost unwatchable on TV. 

[NailedIt]

Whoa, 3 tee shots and 2 approach shots this time between breaks. 🤦‍♂️ Where are the fans? LPGA better do something or this tour is on life support!

I remember in the 2000s there were way more fans. What happened? May be the rise of the Asian players and decline of American players?

Unfortunately I think that is a big part of it. Which is sad because the quality of play from the Asian players is fantastic.  I think the tour also lacks personality and a bit of fire from the players. They're almost too efficient with their games and too nice.

That blip in 2014 is when Michelle Wie won of course 😂. That's all the info you need really. 

[Lobby]

I see Georgia hall is playing. 

I'm so happy she healed up.  It's a miracle!  

[QueenJIN]

Are you guys really asking if they allow grouping requests

Paula Creamer WD after 11 holes and a +7 performance.  Is she injured?

She should probably permanently WD.  Spend time with the kid and move on...

[Titleist_PT23]

SYR started well (-2) and then ended up about where she's been operating 😥

[Stooch]

A Sei Young Kim sighting, nice to see.

[Argonne69]

Nice to once again see a course with penal rough. With no rain in the forecast it should get a bit tougher.

Annika and Lorena "effect"?  I'm not too sure but that's my "hypothesis".

Do these players just enter to for the social side of things and all the free stuff that goes with it? I have a lot of respect for Laura Davies and what she has achieved in her career but at 59 years of age and going around at +10 while 1st reserve Natthakritta Vongtaveelap has to watch from home while sitting only 2 points behind Hae Ran Ryu for the ROY is doing nothing for the LPGA!

Listened to Laura in the commentary box a few weeks ago for a DP World tour tournament and thought her comments were great...I think that's where she needs to be now!

the same frustrates me a ton. 

 

i see these "past champions" - ok, fine with the Masters  (once a year super major event) but in the LPGA, where there's already a lack of $ and so many wanting to make a living (and deserving a chance, IMHO) - why I chose to watch PGA ESPN+ earlier over LPGA actually at 11am (flame suit on)

 

Davies sometimes blabs too much too along with McGinley at Sky but at least better than, well, uhhh... Morgan 🤮

The 2000s were the days of Annika and then Lorena dominating.  I think that is part of the difference now - there is no one really dominate player that the casual fan might notice and take  interest in.  There are the 3 who have traded places at #1 the last couple years, but none have grabbed the tour by the throat and really separated themselves.  Of course Annika’s appearance on the PGA tour brought a ton on eyeballs to the LPGA, and that carried over for a number years afterwards.  Also, I think both  Lorena and especially Annika came to embrace being the dominate number 1 and their interactions with the public reflected that.  I don’t know that that’s so true of Nelly, Lydia, and JYK.

I'm not sure and it probably varies by player.  Some may think they are a range session / round away from finding it (maybe that's why they were successful in the first place).

 

Either way, the eligibility is whatever the tour sets, so if they want to play they can play.  I think there is somewhat of an inconsistent answer here from fans depending on whether people like the player.

 

For better or worse, many people have a lot of their identity tied up in what they do (sports and non-sports).  It's hard to let go and just being some normal bum won't work for many.

Yes.

Paula creamer w/d due to

wrist injury before starting 11th hole.

 

I was working 11th green and AON risk reward 12th.

Don't if I call it that penal.

It is only 2.5" but it is thick and greens are stimping 12+.

 

Almost every hole there are places you don't miss and safer areas. Classic tillinghast design.

 

Today was lots of risk challenging bunkers and many a player lost.

 

Lexi did rl well after innumerable sand saves esp on her back9. Although she missed the last, she was far above field in sand saves.

There was no requests taken today. Top3 of last yrs finishers were put together on purpose.

 

Lexi did well but Boutier didn't have a good day.

 

[QueenJIN]

Great back 9 by Jin except the double on the par 5 2nd. Anyone know what happened ? Her driving stats look good so hard to think she went OB 

[Titleist_PT23]

I guess Stacy Lewis has played well since becoming a mother.  Not at her prior level but decent earnings and won a tournament in 2020.  People may still like the challenge, even if the target is a bit different...
