Hard to figure the scores the first two days. Although we have a few stars on the first page of the leaderboard, many more stars missed the cut: Lexi Lee6 Munoz (first missed cut of year) Minjee (first missed cut of year) Lydia Danielle Kang Tough to explain. I can explain it, they didn't score low enough to make the cut. Plain and simple.

Using your verbiage, comparing the Top 6 on the leaderboard with the 6 cut players you listed: "A few stars on the first page of leaderboard": 45 career wins "Many more stars missed the cut": 35 career wins

I was referring to the number of players not number of wins. Inbee really accounts for a good portion of those wins. Using your comparison, if Sorenstam was playing and she was the only star player in the top six, it would total 72 wins. My point was that it was puzzling to me that so many big stars missed the cut. When do you see five players from the Rolex top 20 all miss the cut in the same week? Almost never. If you add Munoz and Angel, that's seven players in the top 32 that missed the cut. That's insane. And that's not counting other solid players such as: Jenny Shin, Anna Nordqvist, and Jennifer Song.

While In Bee and Shan Shan account for the most wins at the top of the board, Lexi and Lydia account for the most by far on your cut list. Sorenstam isn't in the equation. I like Yin, Shin, Munoz, Nordquist and Song, but it's no surprise to me if any of those miss the cut any particular week. Cuts happen. Majors get the best fields, so it's more likely top players get cut. 5 out of the top 20 cut doesn't seem out of proportion for a field and challenge like this week, but you're the stats guy so I'll defer to you on that. I'm really not sure what you're getting at though. Do you think -- as Lexi does -- that the course was unfair? Or is it something else?

I'm really not sure what you're getting at though. Do you think -- as Lexi does -- that the course was unfair? Or is it something else? Hell no. I dont think the course was unfair at all. In fact just the opposite. It may well take 17 or 18 under to win this. I don't like majors with scores like that. Give me a major like Oakmont where the winning score, I believe, was 1 under and second place was +2. Then I am in my glory. I like when a birdie means something, not when you have to birdie to keep up with everyone else. That said, I will be rooting for Hyo Joo tomorrow. She has done everything but win this year. My second choice would be Mi Hyang but I think she is too far back. JY Ko is my third choice. I cant join the S.H. Park fan club. I know she is a god in Korea, and probably the best player in the world, but really can't we see just a little bit of emotion when you hole it from the bunker?

Anyone have any idea when they are going to start showing the coverage? I'm watching rain delay on Golf Channel, but according to the LPGA scoreboard, they are actually playing right now.
Also, I assume they are going to show any late coverage on CNBC and not Golf Channel (ie, if it goes past the time they have scheduled, which it almost certainly will)? Man, if it's this hard to figure this out when you're motivated, no wonder the casual fan never stumbles across the LPGA.

Ten years ago, Bivens said she was giving Golf Channel the whole shooting match because no one could find the LPGA on TV...and ten years later, no one can find the LPGA on TV.

YEAH, I SAW THAT TOO! I have no use for her and her traveling caravan of wackos.

It's on GC from 8 to 10:30 et CNBC 9 to 1:30 From 9 to 10:30 it's on both channels.

I thought it was supposed to be sunny today. At least France is getting relief from the heat.
In spite of the rain, the final group is bursting into flames. Can at least Jin Young Ko hold it together?

Another great Evian with Major pressure on the players.

Another very satisfying, well deserved win for the once & future No. 1. She does need to stop crushing on Brooks Koepka though. She can do better.

Great third win and second Major this year for Jin Young Ko. She was solid through out the final round.
Kudos to Hyo Joo Kim for making birdie on the last hole. Second place finish after the tough bunker shot, is not bad. She actually played great considering her short driving distance. Made even shorter with the wet fairways.
Great final round for Jennifer and Shanshan to tie for second place.
So Yeon made four bogies through eleven holes, but made three birdies to finish. Was hoping that she would have another good round, but still ok.
