Hopefully this is amped up every week to make LPGA the number 1 viewed telecast on television. At the Lotte Championship a mask wielding player who already posted should come out onto the 18th green and hit the would be winner with a chair. Then a fatal four way match is staged to see who actually wins the trophy.

I'm glad the players treat each other more decently than we "fans" do. Never gauge the mood of the mob from a comments section.
Lexi didn't "whine". She was shocked by news that took her from winning the tournament to fighting for it. And she came within an inch of doing so! She presented with the evidence, she owned up to it.
So Yeon is a deserving champion. She didn't let any of the distractions get to her and played the playoff hole impeccably. The crowd applauded her birdie.
The rule must go! Allowing armchair officiating by definition affects only those players who are being televised.

"I won this...Lexi lost"....then thrown the trophy into Poppie's Pond and walked across the bridge holding hands with The Italian, sign some autographs for 10 minutes and then head into the clubhouse for a quiet dinner and tell the waiter to send over a bottle of Dom Perignon to Lexi's dinner table and pick up her dinner tab too. Life is all just a big cheesy movie to you, isn't it. The LPGA is all about the DRAMA.....unless there's controversy....it's crickets...look at all the comments on cyberspace based on #EMAILGATE

The executive producers of the Lotte will be hired guns from SBS's K-Drama channel and the directors of the coverage sitting in the production booth will be Tonya Harding and Jeff Gillooly.

Tom Watson knows his So-Yeon better than anybody. He made sure she didn't know Lexi was penalised for sure until the 18th hole. Interesting. On TV, they showed the rule officials notifying Suzann, Minjee and Inbee in person. So I guess they notify Tom Watson instead of SYR herself. Ya....I find it hard to believe the RO's wouldn't tell the player and just their employee...and if if Ryu was in the washroom...I gotta believe the RO's would wait....it would be the RO's responsibility to communicate to members of the LPGA and apply consistent communication to all players in contention to avoid further issues.

Not just Twitter....the same comments are found on Facebook, Instagram, other golf forums, etc Where is Chuck Barris (RIP) when we need a host for The Gong Show.
