Did they show or explain how NASA made an 8 at the par-4 13th? She's -4 with 6 holes remaining.
NYC's sixth MC in eleven starts.
Let's see if I remember about Nasa and the 13th: they said she hit her first tee shot OOB (or in the water). Her 2nd tee shot was wayward and had to punch out into the fairway with her next shot. Kind of a shame. If not for that hole, she'd be contending. I'm looking for a battle royale between Sung Hyun and Carlotta if the latter kind finally keep her nerves. But their are others who are having a say in this.

Nice win by S.H. Park. She may not be the most exciting player on tour but she is the best. She seems to be able to win even when she doesn't have her A game.
A nice charge by Danielle that just came up short.
Inbee played better than anyone tee to green. Unfortunatly, she putted like Lexi all weekend.

Maria Fassi and Anne van Dam missed the cut by 4 and 3 shots respectively, no thanks to the GIC hype machine. They both hit some very long drives though.
Fassi and AVD had an average drive of 302 yards ... 151 yards up and 151 yards down.
FYI, J. Granada is 4th in money and scoring avg. on the Symetra tour ... and 151st in driving distance.

Tell it to Beth Ann. This is her column from TODAY.
golfweek.com/2019/06/30/maria-fassi-superstar-in-the-making-lpga/
PGA of America president Suzy Whaley played with Fassi in the pro-am at the KPMG Women’s PGA and called her the LPGA’s next superstar. If she chooses to, Whaley said, Fassi can single-handedly grow the game among Latinos, a segment of the population where golf struggles.
Golf Channel analyst Karen Stupples says Fassi has a film-star quality. Fassi’s veteran caddie, Gary Matthews, compared her to Tiger Woods and believes that she could one day dominate the tour. Former World No. 1 Stacy Lewis calls the fellow Razorback a once-in-a-generation talent.
“This may sound weird,” said Arkansas coach Shauna Estes-Taylor. “I think Fassi was born to do this.”

This is just my opinion, and I realize it doesn't carry much weight, but I have seen Fassi and Van Dam play several times and I don't understand the comparison at all (because they are both bombers off the tee?) I don't even rate their games on the same planet. I am not sure Van Dam will make it on the LPGA at all. Fassi is the real thing. Lets not judge her by just 4 tournaments, even though she has already made $130,000 and will have full playing privileges next year. I talked to her a few weeks back and she was "exhausted". There was Augusta, winning the NCAA individual championship, and studying for finals, it has been an overwhelming year. Then the added pressure of making enough money to retain your card for 2020 in just 1/2 the season. We may not see the real Fassi until next year. I think she is better than Kupcho.... and world's better than Van Dam.

Congratulation to Sung Hyun Park for the win. However I was hoping that Inbee Park or Hyo Joo Kim would win. Because neither has won for quite some time. By the way Sung Hyun had thirty three putts and Inbee had twenty nine. She birdied all the par fives, so she must have hit them in two shots.
Not a good tournament for So Yeon and Jin Young Ko. I really expected Jin Young to have a low scoring round. However I didn't know what So Yeon would do, as far as having a low scoring round. She had three rounds in the sixties, but not great on that course.
I haven't been able to watch any LPGA tournament since the Women Open. But following So Yeon at the Meijer Classic. So Yeon game looked really good. If not for a few bad bounces and putts that had a chance but missed. She could have easily scored a lot better.

Can someone find Golf Weak’s Jin Young Ko article during her reign as the world #1?
I can find about 7 on Fassi but nothing like a feature article on JYK. It MUST be somewhere.

Namdalla wins again in the heartland of America. Leaving her mark all across this great land of ours. Sheesh, she already wowed our POTUS a while ago. And to think I was worried that she might not fare so good when she first came over.

Good timing for that article LOL. It almost seems like damage control. Fassi bombs out playing in her school's state, so rather than admit they maybe are hyping her a tad too much, or just let it go for a week, they double down. No, really, the next superstar! Once in a generation talent! If they give up on her in a few weeks, who will be the next can't miss kid?

I think she is better than Kupcho.... and world's better than Van Dam. You don't think JE Lee6 is maybe a tad exhausted right now? And she has had to deal with acclimating to a completely new culture, language, all the travel, etc. The point is not whether Fassi is or will be good, the point is that the second they see someone with some talent who isn't Korean they get out of control with praise for her ('once in a generation talent'). But if a Korean star comes over and does amazing thing, crickets. Based on Lucky Six's KLPGA record (wins Q Series; the ONLY player to break 70 twice in season scoring average, and the other two to ever do that (both just once) became #1 in the world golfers), she should have been the one getting gushing articles about her potential. Yet there was almost nada about her pre-season, and she has continued to fly under the radar more or less. If Fassi had won Q Series, IMAGINE what they would have said.

Round 3 Congrats to Sung Hyun. Given her length and the decision to have a drivable par 4, it felt like all she had to do was play decently and she had a great chance to win this. Still, she had to get the job done, and that she did. I feel for Hyo Joo. It looked great for her to get the win, but she made a few kind of inexcusable bogies right when she least needed to, fought back to 17 under, then just needed a birdie on the last to win but put it into the one place she shouldn't have with her approach. It would have been nice, but a t2nd is still not bad. Inbee should have been the champ. It's just so weird to see her missing so many makeable birdie tries. Man, if she can get anywhere close to her 2015 putting form, she could win five times this year. Tee to green, she is even better than before, and her health is also good. I knew she would not win when she missed that eagle on the last, but it's cool that she was in it til the end. Nice run by Danielle Kang, too! It wasn't a great week for Jin Young or So Yeon, but on this kind of course, you really have to be putting well to contend and they weren't. Tee to green they looked pretty good. Another week where In Gee did some great stuff and still finished around 30th place. I'm still hoping for a top ten really soon, maybe next time she plays. The parts all seem to be there. Congratulations to Sung Hyoooon! Hwaiting!

Golf Channel analyst Karen Stupples says Fassi has a film-star quality. I'll have whatever Stupples is drinking. If there is a remake for "From Russia with Love", the Rosa Klebb part is Fassi's.
