No way am I going to sit through four hours of Lewis frowning and Lexi improving her lies. OK, HappyFan, we know you don't want to watch this, but did you have to cut the transmission cable from the production truck?

The penultimate group didn't even deserve the skimpy TV coverage they got.
KT, -4 (+2 today) Dumbo -3 (+3 today) NMads -3 (+4 today)
The good news? There's a possibility KT will be grouped with Janet again tomorrow.

The race for Low Amateur is on between Rose Zhang -8 and Gabriela Ruffels -6. They both had an Eagle, Rose on par four number 4, Gabriela on par five number 2. Gabriela had two double bogeys on the back nine, but rebounded with two birdies.
Sei Young Kim was on her way to one of her patented great rounds. Four birdies got her to minus nine on the front side. But her momentum was derailed by an eight on the par four no.13.
Nice round by Hinako Shibuno of minus five.
Mirim Lee didn't play that good, but she didn't play bad either. She is only two shots out of the lead, so she still has a good chance.

There's a possibility KT will be grouped with Janet again tomorrow. Kelly will be with Kristen Gillman and Minjee Lee if it's threesome; with Janet if it's twosome.

One neat thing about Brooke, Nelly and Lexi is that their fans don't overlap. It's like the Kentucky Derby.

It easy for Henderson to have more fans than Nelly. The LPGA is also on Henderson band wagon. Even thou Nelly is the number one two Ranked USA player. (Correction)Also Nelly is number three not two in Rolex Ranking. All you have to do is look who the LPGA has a Portrait of on their Instagram.

TaylorMade/Adadis even signed her sister but missed Nelly.

The Beth Ann Nichols of Malaysia does a deep dive on Kelly Tan. www.thestar.com.my/sport/golf/2020/09/13/kelly-promises-something-special#cxrecs_sKELLY PROMISES SOMETHING SPECIALIn 2016, Kelly opened with a pair of 68 and 72 to be tied for sixth at the US Women’s Open but failed to build on the good start and eventually settled for tied 32nd.
But a resurgent Kelly, armed with the confidence from her brilliant displays of late, believes she’s destined for something great.
“I believe I am due to do something special ... Malaysian golf deserves something special,” said Kelly.
“Honestly, I’m really just enjoying playing golf right now. I am playing to win every tournament and I try to give myself a chance each week.
“This is exactly where I want to be heading into the weekend. I’m just so happy to be in contention.” Kelly has been in sizzling form since the resumption of LPGA Tour after a five-month hiatus due to Covid-19 pandemic.

jumpcutThat article was written after Kelly's Friday round, before her +2 round on Saturday.

No way am I going to sit through four hours of Lewis frowning and Lexi improving her lies. OK, HappyFan, we know you don't want to watch this, but did you have to cut the transmission cable from the production truck? Hey, at least we were able to see In Gee that way. Ugh, that was a thoroughly depressing third round. I somehow managed to make it to the mysterious incident where they lost contact with the course (I'll plead the fifth on that one) before I just threw my hands up and quit. This event is a disappointment more often than not, mainly because I feel it is too set up for the bombers. I had some hope early when they kept talking about the rough being penal, but the really bad stuff is so far off the fairway that it hasn't been much of a factor, and add in the pointless Lexi walls on 18 and removed trees everywhere and purposeful birdie set ups on the holes and you end up with another leaderboard of almost exclusively long hitters. In Gee had her first really bad round in a long while. Her driving distance was fine, mid-260s, but everything else short circuited. She basically needs to control her bad days to have a chance for a win. A 71 would have been mediocre but given her a chance Sunday; a 75 and that's that. I'm still hopeful she can have a decent bounce back tomorrow and garner a top ten. And with luck she can keep the train rolling going into the next Major. Sei Young and Mi Hyang are probably too far back, which leaves Mirim. I've been impressed by her so far, but it seems like a lot to ask for her to win at this point. Well, hopefully she's got one more great round in her and can do what she has done before and surprise the world. Sisters hwaiting!!!

I like Mirim but have no hope of her winning today, on this course, against this particular group.

Somehow the industrial complex missed the most can’t miss prospect since Lexi. TaylorMade/Adadis even signed her sister but missed Nelly. I wonder about that a lot! My conclusion is that it goes both ways; Golf Channel and sponsors didn't pursue actively but Nelly also didn't. For starter, Nelly didn't seek out IMG as her agent. As a result, she's Korean sponsors such as Q-Cells and Descente, not Nike or other powerhouses. Also, she seems to be an introvert; it's not her natural instinct to search for spotlights.
