Where are the spectators?
The wine and cheese tents.
Should be interesting to see the turnout for the Ryder Cup in France. Some French touring pro said France doesn't care about golf. I assume a few English hooligans can make up for any locals not attending that tournament.
**********
Sung Hung just missed a 6-foot par saver, now +7 thru 15 holes...and just missed a birdie putt of 4-5 feet at #16.

During the broadcast, Karen Stupples mentioned a story involving Mi Hyoooooon Kim. Take a drink! Seriously, they are so entrenched on 'Sung Hyooon' that they are now retroactively mispronouncing retired players' names... Sheesh... Last year they had live broadcasts for several LPGA Majors on YouTube. It was so nice. It was like Tivo in that it allowed you to go to any point in the broadcast and skip the nonsense. I would come in about 90 minutes after it started and could skip through it starting from the beginning. I miss that! Hae Ran Ryu is the large Korean amateur that FanofSeRi was backing in the old days. She was on the Asian Games squad. Sung Hyun Park is inexplicable to me. When she is on her game she looks like her nickname, the Terminator. But when she isn't, youch. She has an A game and a Z game and nothing in between.

HappyFan It's been almost 6 months since mr3putt has been banned; it's time to let him back into this forum. I'd be all for it if he would stay within the guidelines HappyFan listed; I just have my doubts that the Tiger in him can change his stripes. . . I'm not a God, or even a mini-God, but I noticed I am a Full Member now, and so if anyone should ask my opinion, I'd have to agree with SoYeonFan. . . Sorry to say, but for the moment at least, I'm going to keep the ban. Thanks for your opinions, I appreciate them! In the months since I removed him from the site, I have not had to issue so much as a single warning to anyone to follow the rules. It was becoming a regular occurrence with him, to the point where I was beginning to dread coming here. It's not fair to anyone if I let him get away with stuff, and I saw little indication he wanted to change. And I gave him a lot of chances. Again, it's not permanent, but I'll reconsider in a few months. Thanks again for your input!

HappyFan Thanks for taking time to respond on mr3putt . Sorry, it eluded me completely the personal pains that he's inflicted upon you. Of course, it's your call. I'm naive, but I miss the days when fanofseri, mnmlistgolfr and mr3putt were active; the forum was full of life.

I can't believe it; In Gee's -3 help up and she stayed T7 and only 3 shots out of the lead.
Based on her recent forms, this would be her best score of the week. Hope she proves me wrong!

It like he was testing you, your warnings were repeatedly ignored.

Is she Marina Alex of Portland Oregon, or a flash in the pan?

Good first round for So Yeon. Hoping for a better one tomorrow, but she may have to deal with early morning rain.
Jin Young got off to a rough start on the front nine. But a couple of birdies and a clean score card on the back nine. Kept her in reach of a good finish.
I can't believe that they didn't show one shot of Jessica until number sixteen. It's not like she was having a bad round.

It's just occurred to me this is the last major of 2018 for both golf and tennis; men or women.
It's waiting until next year again by Sunday.
Ryder Cup, International Crown and Solheim Cup; they're good events but they aren't substitutes for majors.
