[ChronicSlicer]

Congrats to Nelly. I just wish she wasn't so blah, I just can't get excited watching her.

Third round leaders just couldn't get it going today.

[aenemated]

Nelly's just on another level rinnow. 

[Trippels]

Was that her third win in a row?

Wasn't he going for 3 straight weeks, without a 6 or7 week break?

Yes.

Yes.

I suppose his effort at 3 weeks in a row might have been a little more of an exhausting effort than Nelly's 1 win, almost 2 months off and back to back wins. But what do I know..

Crazy to think none of them have won more than 2 majors. Especially Lyds and JYK.

Nelly should take a break until Chevron, let's give someone else a chance to W 😂

[GolfMoose]

The broadcast team was sort of implying that winning then winning again after 7 weeks off was more impressive than winning two consecutive weeks.

 

Class of her own at this point.  So many others had a shot today and faltered when it counted.  Really liking MHL and Sarah so far this year.

Nelly won't stop until you're truly "Woah Nelly!"; not just your Avatar!

[18majors]

 

This is the spirit, Nelly needs to keep going until she helps drive Total LPGA Purse to more than $200.0 million a year:

The tour has had quite a few one time winners grabbing the major trophies. Crazy stuff. Pernilla, Yuka, 6ix, A Lim, Sophia, Hinako, and Mo come to mind.

I thought you meant Ariya for a second when I read Mo 😂

[Argonne69]

Whether it's 3 wins in 3 weeks, or 3 wins with a seven week layoff, it's still mighty impressive. Rare feat. Smart golf indeed. Congrats, Nelly. 

 

Sarah has been playing great, but seems to need another gear. Hopefully we won't be saying, "Dammit, Sarah" for long. Lol. 

 

Superb week for the rookie Hira. A couple of mistakes, but solid overall. 

 

I was pulling for Lexi. It would be good for the tour to see her back in the winner's circle. Good week, though. 

 

Great to see Mi Hyang at the top of the leaderboard. She had a few down seasons. Climbing her way back. 

 

Carlota giving me the finger by shooting 2 under instead of the 1 under I predicted. Lol. 

 

Maja is going to have nightmares about that missed putt on the 18th. Very expensive. 

 

Nice day by Alison to grab a top 10. She's really due.

This list is an example of how winning derailed a career, unfortunately.

I'll take that -2 for a t3. Not terrible for darkhorse pick.

I am happy for Nelly but I was rooting for Lexi today - I was watching march madness and pga during the day and when I turned on the coverage she hit into water on 16. At the end of the day its a good result and hopefully now won't miss out on CME again - she has been back to herself since Solheim

 

It's also better for women's golf if Nelly won today, especially over the languishing PGA and Scottie unable to do what she did.

I knew Hyo Joo stood no chance when I saw she was paired with miss slowness today 

 

[kmbean]

Nelly winning this much is good for the LPGA.

 

This tour will benefit from having a really dominant likable’ish American player IMO.

Tbf half of those names were not even LPGA members when they won..

Nelly is in good companies:

ahhhhh.. thats why she 3 putted from a foot. I did think it was wildly out of character for her

 

well done and thank you Nelly. Broke my bad form on the punt as I doubled her with Jaeger on the PGA after round 2

 

Shes just ….inevitable right now . 

 

 

[woahnelly]

"I heard those jabronis on golfWRX were talking smack"

 

 

 

LC with low round the day. I think she will be the next first time 30+ USA winner.

 

 

 

Looks like an LPGA player 2024 - ???

 

 

 

I'm now a fan!
