"Evian Resort deserves to be one of the finest venues to hold a major championship."
I especially like the passive-aggressive dig at Lexi.

Jin Young didn't rate a full-blown press conference like Nelly had, but Amy did pull her off to the side for a 1-minute chat.

Report: LPGA players without clubs for hours due to Lexi Thompson travel blunder golfweek.com/2019/07/29/golf-lpga-players-without-clubs-due-to-lexi-thompson-blunder/Golf Channel reports that an estimated 38 players who had been at the course for hours did not receive their clubs until 5 p.m. due to a bizarre set of circumstances centered around Thompson and her forgotten passport. <snip> It didn’t make Monday any easier to stomach for players like Ryan O’Toole, who lost out on nearly a full day of major prep. “I don’t know why the driver would agree to accommodate one person knowing it would punish about a third of the field,” O’Toole told Mell. “The driver should have said, ‘Hey, I’ve got to get these clubs to Woburn. If you want the passport, somebody’s going to have to fly there to get it and bring it back.’” This all occurred just days after Thompson posted a strongly-worded critique of course conditions at the Evian Championship, which she said were so bad that she was thankful to miss the cut. News flash: Lexi Thompson is entitled. I think we knew that. Also: really, Randall? There isn't a more interesting story you can cover right now? Why is Jin Young Ko not THE story? Two Majors! Chance for three! #1 in all categories! Come on, get on the stick!

"Evian Resort deserves to be one of the finest venues to hold a major championship." I especially like the passive-aggressive dig at Lexi. I'm betting Thompson p.o.ed more than a few of her fellow players with her ill-considered tirade last week.

No split tees...the first group goes out at 6:30 AM and the last one starts at 3:28 PM.
I like MHL's group with JM Green and Dimmock.
Crusty Grrr can ask Matthew & Law how to defect to the UK.
Minami Katsu (below) will be grouped with D. Kang and Kupcho.

That female British reporter should be hired by CBS as the natural successor to Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes. The unsurprising bottom line: she's sorry but would do the same thing again on the passport situation. And she also doubled down on her original IG post on Evian.

Has anybody in the Golf Industrial Complex asked how driver testing is going this week?

Randall's take on Jin Young Ko: Jin Young Ko History PotentialMy own personal take is that it would be something else if she manages to pull this off. To be honest, the odds are long, but she is playing really well right now and seems confident, so who knows? Best of luck to her!
