your crazy if you think one sports college viewers will come over to another sports professional major despite the sports appealing to completely different audiences. lpga will get a larger bump from the masters than caitlin.

No matter how many times I re-read my post, I can't figure out how you came up with your comment. 

The question was,but where can she(Nelly) take the tour? My answer was, hopefully she can bring in 18 million people watching the Tour Championship, or the US Open, like Caitlin Clark did.

I can't quite see where I thought NCAA basketball fans would suddenly become LPGA fans because of Caitlin? Or Nelly.. or anybody..

Pics of the dinner menu:

 

 

 

Those dishes from the Champions dinner almost provide an incentive to finish second.

 

The first one looks like a bowl of gruel with some foraged greens and burnt bits of something that was once maybe meat - grim (ish).

"Oh my god, Christy Kerr bought me pizza 🍕 to celebrate in the Locker Room!" = the most surprising part of this interview

 

[JungleJimbo]

timestamp ~1m40s of this new official LPGA podcast = today i learnt why Emma Talley's "Hey Y'awl" southern drawl(?) is so distinctive/ oft-caricatured in that recent "Can i get a YeeHaw!" tweet 🤠.

I still remember the days when So Yeon didn't speak English.  Now she does walk-and-talk interview and she also did the Chevron press conference today.

I think SYR's English was always decent (watch from the 1:59:00 mark in the following), although it is much better now.  I think In Gee's English went from non-existent/very weak (watch at ~3:20:00 mark) to pretty good?

 

Anyways, SYR seems to really be taking the last lap around the track.  If lucky, she can play the weekend.

thanks @Titleist_PT23 for the throwback ... was Hee-Kyung Seo's nickname really "supermodel of the fairways"? (per Wikipedia)

This record should be recalculated to the playing season only. JYK got a huge boost when many weeks went by without tournaments worldwide during almost 2 years of Covid 19! So JYK was lucky to be RR #1 at the time. Should a record be down to luck? 

LUCK!!!????HOW DARE YOU

Looking forward to seeing Jin and Atthaya back in action.

 

Nelly absurd favourite just like Scottie. Gotta be some juice further down the board 

[JungleJimbo]

 

Oddly... the % win probability stats in the video (timestamp 1m50s) doesn't match the tweet

... poor LPGA intern over-worked & no proof-reading editor/ supervisor? (or the LPGA intern doesn't like JYK's chances, as much as @QueenJIN does? Hence dropped JYK from 5.1% to 4% ?)

this was a fun podcast ... Lots of gems from the first guest i.e. beloved Judy Rankin (who Grant Boone says has the leading number of post-partum victories on the LPGA ... Lots of laughs)

Curious to see how Jinno plays after her extended break.

I'm doing a split screen between the RBC and the Chevron. My 9 year old daughter, who likes to swing a club (but definitely not play golf lol) likes watching both men and womens. It would be really cool to see Nelly get her 5th win in a row. I think she has the perfect swing. If I could magically copy a swing, it would honestly be hers. 

[mosesgolf]

The Nabisco Dinah Shore to the Chevron going from Mission Hills to this new venue.  For me this major was the Women’s version of the Masters and to see the site venue moved is like taking the Masters from Augusta and placing it somewhere in Kansas.  What in the world???   Seems just like a deep field event now and not a major.  

[18majors]

Golf Channel coverage has been really good; a lot of cameras covering many grounds.

[Shakeshook]

at least morning coverage showed a good mix of leaders and good shots (eagles, marina alex's long range birdie putt, brooke's hopper of a "chip putt" etc). this afternoon might be all nelly though 😆

I’ve spent about 80 minutes in the woodlands trying to get into the tournament. 
 

the parking situation is beyond f*****. 
 

I went to the club gate for directions to parking and they gave me a printed map. 
 

went there (same place as last year) and they turned me away. Just gave me an address to drive to. 5 miles away

 

I went there and nothing there

 

so 5 miles back to the course. Parked the car at the guard gate and asked for help

 

15 minutes later they send me back to the 2nd place!

 

I drove all over the parking lot and finally saw lpga parking in the corner

 

but I couldn’t get there. The entrance to that side of the lot was blocked off. The rent a cop would not move the gate. 
 

so back to the street I go looking for the official entrance. 
 

im finally in the bus headed to the course. 
 

no, I’m not in a good humor

 

f*** Mollie

Too much Lexi with the rubbish she was playing.

 

Should show less of a marque player if they are playing poorly and replace their air time with others playing well.

someone will get mad for this comment but i needed some "comedy" and since i am piss poor in golf, i might as well find someone that i can relate to - so i sorta enjoyed watching the tree troubles, etc... she did hit a long range birdie putt on her 9th hole (the 18th) to bring her score back to +6 then haha (I can relate to those lucky putts too!)

I just happened to bring up the ESPN+ stream when Korda's group was teeing off on their first hole and I guess the graphics folks weren't quite ready as they put up a Vu graphic as Jennifer Song hit her tee shot.

[pmcuk]

Whatever happened to Szokol on the 17th? 8 on a par 3......
