If Muni makes it through to the round of 16 I'm going to fall out of my recliner.

She's the social media influencer who gets sponsor's invites, yes?

True that.

I'm shocked she's not in Monaco for her beau's F1 race.

 

OTOH, this is match play, Navarrosa > Zhang in NCAA semis remember?  

[woahnelly]

Upsets galore! I'll have to go back to my routine of picking Delcaour, but I didn't want to jinx her. Schubie, LWW, Darquea are all through. Andrea needs to beat Anna N and then Coughlin in playoff to play tomorrow 

[North Texas]

I've never heard of either one of these girls in this playoff. 

[Stooch]

I might worry about Celine over the weekend, this seems like the type of course she'd be good at.

[Lobby]

Did Maria Fassi make it to the next round?

 

I can’t find that info

[ChronicSlicer]

 

Glad to see Karis Davidson has worse fashion sense on course than DK.

Do you actually watch much LPGA?

She is KO'd. Alison Lee won the group.

I don't care about fashion at all and even I went OMG!  lol

?? Is it Karis Davidson’s striped socks 🧦  (or “go faster” stripes) that’s eye-catching?

ie it’s quite a high(??) bar/comparison w.r.t. comparing her fashion sense vs Danielle Kang?

That’s not really fair though, is it?  She did earn her card at Q school a couple years ago.  Medalist in fact iirc.  Now she needs to keep it.

 Davidson sporting the old school socks. Love it!

Quite a few "3-0-0" group winners (the Maja Stark-Ayaka Furue matchup catches my eye... as two "3-0-0" group winners facing off!)

 

...  and Looks like the Swedes are fond of matchplay!

 

Was thinking back to the International Crown, and wondering how the champions from Thailand are faring

... belatedly realised that none of the Thai team are participating this week (albeit Pajaree is representing Thailand in the KO's). 

 

Guessing that @iBanesto will tell me to "Get with the program" w.r.t. knowing who's playing this week (or not).

Nice to see Linn Grant play 17 slightly better.....looks wide open to be honest, impossible to call at this point.

[Argonne69]

Nothing really shocking. Leona looks solid. I'd like to see Alison get her first victory, but she's on and off this week. Certainly wouldn't rule out Ayaka or Celine.

No. I just took up the game of golf a few weeks ago and I had never watched any LPGA golf on TV so I thought i would check it out. I had heard of some of the other girls but not sure from where. These girls actually look like pretty decent golfers. May have start watching more. Who should I watch? Are any of the other players left in it very good? 

[RainShadow]

That course set up has some holes that are borderline unfair, I thought.

[MagicClassic407]

I'm thinking Cheyenne is very focused with a possible Solheim slot in sight. Her game seems suited to this course. My heart is with Ohio gal Lindsay. Hubby picks Leona. I wouldn't count out any Swede. 

 

I was happy to see Matilda pull one out. 

 

 

[woahnelly]

My original picks went 0-6 in group stage , I will go back to picking Perrine Delcaour to win as I do every event until she does!

I think its fair, she doesn't get a start based on form and will rank 192 after the reshuffle. She has 0 CME points and $0 so far this season, a big fat zero. 

 

She gets sponsors invites based on her 600k Insta followers, that's all she offers.

I believe Muni is an MGM brand ambassador. Probably explains the sponsor invite.

Hmm, for this event.

 

TBF, she did ok here.

[Rapidcat]

Hi Mollie, can you get your intern(s) to fix your leaderboard please?

 

We saw Leona leading her match at end of the front nine, then a few minutes later we saw this (Leona leading 3UP in the summary but Narin leading 3UP in the drop down details):

 

4 holes later we see this:

 

Which led to some uncertainty amongst followers:

 

 

It's basic communication to LPGAT followers, how about setting a goal of excellence and simply achieving it for a such a mundane element?

 

Get your focus on this stuff please, there are inaccuracies in your on-line leaderboards most events. Fix it for good.

 

Please.

The good news is that you didn't have to fall out of your recliner.  😁
