I like Inbee's chances in crappy weather; she had a great result at the 2012 British, which I consider the worst weather I've ever seen at any golf event. In Gee I'm not so sure about, but let's hope she has the momentum on her side. Sisters hwaiting! I always think of JJ's win in 2005. She was the only player who knew how to hit it in the wind.

I'll be rooting for Ingee - heck, a win would fit the profile of her erratic career! Jessica Korda dropped out due to some non-COVID health issue.
Big question - will the winning score be under par? I'd wager it will be within 5 shots of par... Gonna require a lot of patience out there this week.

It's winter in August. Shibuno was waiting to tee off at #1 and you should have seen the surf hitting the harbor behind her. She's playing with the ECP and Buhai.
Woo hoo, the shutterbugs at Getty Images think MHL is Minjee Lee, which is why they have several pics posted for her.

I've been watching this on and off ...haven't heard any bad pronunciations by the Euro talking heads, although the guy came close to choking on Dr. Noh's first name. They also referred to Andrea Lee as "Alison Lee, the 21-year-old."
Is KB Star signing up loopers? This guy is with Bronte Law ...
... and they have Greeny's looper ...
... and they have Hull's caddie, too.

Poor Slow Lerner...relegated to the old Mike Ritz role of doing commercial wraps from the GC studio. I hope Ritzy told him where he stashes the Cheezits.
And poor Tom Abbott...victim of GC's cost-cutting policy of not sending a single announcer to the AIG. He was always in his element, the 'belle of the ball' at the British.

Yui's drive at the par-4 18th finished in the short rough just off the right side of the fairway. She took a good full swing on her approach ... the ball landed short of the green and rolled over the back of the green and into some small stones, which is OB. She doubled the hole and finished +4 ... I couldn't say if The Rodent was at fault ... obviously he wasn't helpful enough.

Solid first round by In Gee Chun! She shot 1 over, 287 yard driving average, with 13/18 gir. Pretty darn good! At the moment she's 4 back, but the clubhouse lead is 1 under, just two ahead of her. Nice! Amy Yang also had a good opening round, +2. But Inbee and Inky struggled, +6 and +7 respectively. Amazingly, that's not really out of it, but it's going to be a tall order to come back from that. Minjee Lee, Andrea Lee and Jennifer Song all at 3 over. Lydia Ko and Alison Lee (!) are at 1 over. So is Yealimi Noh, but she's still on the course. Sisters hwaiting!

Good start by In Gee Chun, maybe, maybe.
Yui Kawamoto needs to find a way to make birdies. She hasn't had a birdie for the last fifty four holes, I believe.
Gabriela Ruffels, plus eight is kind of the score I expected. Given her over all experience. Hopefully she will improve her score the second round. To give her added confidence when she plays the ANA next month.

Gabriela is an amateur alright, but she's still one year older than both Yujeong Son and Yealimi Noh.

Yealimi Noh is lucky to stay alive for another day.
She hit only 5 fairways, it could easily be a +9 kind of day.

Yes, but Gabriela took up golf only six years ago, at the age of fourteen. Before that she was a top Amateur Tennis player like her mother. She gave up Tennis and later decided to go to a driving Range and give Golf a try. I say she has done great for the limited time that she has even played Golf. She needs to improve on her short game from around twenty five yards. Every other part of her game is solid.

I got Bronte Law confused with Austin Ernest about switching to PXG. Austin was the one that went into a slump, although she played good the first round. With Bronte all out golf swing, she can play good with Rental Clubs.
