Well So Yeon had me worried that she might miss the cut. She was minus two going into seventeen, two over today. But the way she has been putting it was not a lock until she finished. Thirty four putts is pretty bad, when almost everybody is making lots of birdies. Not one birdie in at least the last twenty seven holes. I hope that she will not go back to Ian Baker again, because her overall putting has gotten worse. The fact that she hits a lot of greens is the only thing helping her score.

The whole tour is worth watching just for Lydia's flop shots around the green. Meanwhile 1/2 the field is trying to deadlift 300 lbs in the gym.

Round 2 About halfway through the coverage this round had the makings of a real flopperoo for the Sisters, but they rallied nicely the latter part of the day. In Gee seemed to be in trouble a lot on the back nine, but she made two all-world long par saves, hit a beauty of an iron on 17 to move to 7 under, then... my TiVo ran out. But it looks like she finished with an eagle (!) on the final hole, just like in the second round in Rio. -9, and just like that she's in the final group. She'll be paired with Ariya and her magical disappearing knee injury. I'm feeling like In Gee is starting to get some of the old pizzazz back. Time for a fantastic moving day, Dumbo!!! Hwaiting! Alas, So Yeon really struggled today and is not going to be a factor, but boy, a lot of other Sisters did pretty well. Sei Young had some great stuff coming in to move to 8 under, MJ is also there, and look who else crept up the leaderboard: Hyo Joo Kim! An all-Korean threesome in the penultimate group tomorrow (otherwise known as the group that won't be shown). Not sure how Ko managed to not make any birdies coming in (again, TiVo ran out). We also have Amy at 7 under, Ha Na and Mirim at 6 under, and I think even the 6 under folks are still in this thing. All right Sisters, remember Inbee and what she did despite an injury. Be inspired! Great moving day tomorrow. Go Sisters!!!!

Looks like Ko was just a fad, a pretender. Ariya was the real deal all along. Ko just got super lucky with Park's injury to get number 1 and Ariya's injury that set her back years. Ariya probably finishes her career with twice as many majors as Ko. Im willing to bet. 3 of 4 mistakes by Ko were caused by the putter....I don't like left hand low....Ko looks like she hitting her putts vs. stroking them. Ko should be at -11 or as a minimum at -10.

Sean is doing a lousy consulting the Sista's......SYR should never be using a mentor who is a grown man crying about golf....IBF.....I guess Finch was also SayYouSeRi's mentor too....crying and shaking when LPGA security made him cower at the ANA.

OK....Dumbo is not using Argonne's head cover. Tony if you can't because you are media....get Cindy to ask In Gee's loop why she's being so mean to Argonne...thx.
Oh ya.....if you see NYC.....suggest she take Jenn (they both missed the cut) to the Rimrock Hotel in Banff....it's the nicest hotel there and sits onto top of the hillside away from all the tourists in Banff. The LOVELY HYP made the cut....so NYC can get back at The Rocket by posting a selfie of herself and Jenn having room service and playing some mountain style golf at Stewart Creek & Silver Tip and Stanley Thompson's Banff Springs course and she can post it on Instagram.

Here's the last paragraph from a Golf Canada article on CP's Hunter Harrison: Although Harrison has announced his retirement, to be succeeded next year by COO Keith Creel, CP’s sponsorship is in place through 2018. Next year’s tournament will take place at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club and it is widely speculated that Regina’s Wascana Country Club will play host in 2018.Wascana has been around over 100 years: www.wascanacountryclub.com

Happy Fan after all this time, you don't extend your recording. I always add an hour, just in case Golf Channel extend coverage. If a player they like is at the top they usually do, for instance Stephanie Meadows, Lydia KO.

Ariya probably finishes her career with twice as many majors as Ko. Im willing to bet. The wonder kid actually got to number 1 last year, duking it out with the the Queen bee all year. No doubt Ariya's injury stunted her development . But it was her driver that REALLY set her back. It wasn't until she basically abandoned her driver for the 2 iron that she has begun to truly blossom. Long hitters psyche can be fragile. Yani was on her way to be GOAT not that long ago. Once she lost confidence in her driver, she is gone. No doubt Ariya looks unbeatable now, but who knows what it will be in 2 years time. No one knows what is in the plan of the Queen bee and how motivated she will be now that she has won everything. But even as a big fan of Lydia, I am rooting for Ariya to give the wonder kid a run for the money. It is great for women's golf and exciting for the fans.

I almost forgot who was in the second to last group today. Since they hardly got any TV time. Also Minjee wasn't shown at all although she was minus eleven.
So Yeon actually made four birdies today, but three bogeys (33 putts). She and Jessica Korda who also had 33 putts, really need to putt a lot better. Those greens were rolling so true, how could you not putt well.

Well, there's the proof...Arg's Dumbo headcover is probably in a storage shed back in Korea...after all, her Ping G2 driver from her junior high club set needs to be protected. Mi Hyang's white ball debuts in North America...haven't figured out which model it is so far. w/ The Rocket

I was wondering which players have won the most different national opens. Mind you I'm not a true golf historian. But In Gee with a chance for Japan?, Korea, USA and Canada got me thinking. Tiger won US, UK, Canada (in one year, as did Lee Trevino) Phil has a UK and Scotish. Gary Player probably has a mess of them. Edit: Indeed; US, UK, SAfrica, Aus, Brazil, Chile (Chile?? cmon, Gray) Webby has US, UK, Aus and Canada. Lydia has New Zealand and Canada. But In Gee would be right up there with 4. (She won Japan Open, yes?)

Round 3 There was a point maybe mid-way through this round where I was ready to give up on In Gee winning and was just going to enjoy her as long as she played well. She certainly was playing well, making a lot of birdies with no major mistakes, and some of the best putting I've seen from her in a while. And yet even so the gap kept getting wider. In Gee just seems to have this problem where, when she plays well, someone else often is playing just a bit better. Like Lexi in Thailand, or Minjee in Hawaii. But she kept grinding, saving par when she needed to, and managed to knock the gap back down to two shots. Now she's in a great position. She has been steadily getting better all week - 68, 67, 66. 65 next? I hope she can control her nerves and play some great golf tomorrow. If it isn't enough, so be it, but with luck she will get that first LPGA win since joining the tour and earn her Rolex. She is known in Korea for her success winning national Opens - she's won the Korean, Japan and US Women's Opens - and adding Canada's open to her resume would be incredibly apt. GO IN GEE!!! At 5 shots back, Sei Young Kim is not out of this either, although she will need a fantastic final round to pull it off. It's a great leaderboard in general, with Ha Na Jang, Amy Yang and Chella Choi all at 11 under and Hyo Joo at 10 under. It would be incredible if a few of those ladies got some attention from Golf Channel instead of watching Michelle Wie vie for top 70. Also a nod to MJ Hur and her ace. She was up and down today, but a top ten is still a possibility. Good luck to the Sisters!!!! HWAITING!!!

Ariya will run free until Sung-Hyun joins the tour.
