I briefly tuned in to the online GC broadcast and counted the number of strokes shown when it was running between commercial breaks at 12:41 thru 12:52 EST -
Full shots Putts Sagstrom 2 1
Piller 0 1
Ryu 2 0
Hull 2 2
Ernst 0 2
J. Korda 1 1
SY Kim 0 2
D Kang 1 0
Boutier 1 0
Divide 18 strokes into 660 seconds and you get about 37 seconds. That doesn't seem like a high output of strokes shown ... I should watch a similar KLPGA time segment to see how it compares. The GC segment included a part of DK's interview talking about having to make the same Olympic team twice.

I wasn't paying attention closely when Boutier eagled the par-4 6th hole. I though I heard someone say the tee was moved up to 229 yards  ... and now I just confirmed it looking at her scorecard on the tournament website, WHAT A JOKE. By the way, the interns are goofing off this week ... no postings for daily yardages, pin sheets or caddies.
Shibuno Fever probably needs a birdie at the par-5 18th to get her into the weekend. After this one, she's returning to Japan, for how long I don't know.

Hinako Shibuno finished birdie seventeen, Eagle eighteen to finish minus two. |

So Yeon Ryu had five birdies and a double through the fourteenth hole.
She stumbled with bogeys on fifteen and sixteen, made birdie on final hole to finish minus two.
She hit that five hybrid way left of the green on par three fifteen.
Which is her usual miss with it, or sometimes she get a flyer.
She just got a little greedy on sixteen with the pin close to the left bunker.

"Paging Andrea Lee .... Andrea Lee ... the Palookaville Express, bound for LPGA q-series, is boarding NOW on Track 19."
*******
I can't follow this anymore today ... you know it's BAD when your favorite player has 13 holes remaining to finish above Yani Toast ... and there's a good chance it won't happen.  |

I do not like that slow play Rule, because they can pick anyone to time.
They used to give warnings if a Group falls behind.
There is a certain player that stands there with her Caddie.
Don't pick a club until it's time for her to hit.
First they talk about the shot and then pull a club out of the Bag.
However that player will never be timed.

So disappointing the Korean golfers have two in the top ten, same two top twenty.
Inbee Park has the only realistic chance to get the win.
Unless Hyo Joo or So Yeon can go real low the next two rounds.
Not a whole lot to be said except they have two more days to climb the Leaderboard.

FASSI SHOULDN'T EVEN BE IN THE FIELD, what the heck is she complaining about? Sheesh. (Sponsor's exemptions for a Major are pathetic!) |

Round 2
The course was kind of challenging yesterday, so that means it was time to roll out the drivable par 4s and the easy pins. And the result? In the top 18 players I count: 1 63, 1 64, 4 67s, 4 68s, and a bunch of 69s. They just don't care anymore, do they? Major? You should not see that many rounds in the 60s in a Major.
There were a couple of nice moments early. Lee 6 for a brief moment was making a run but stumbled. In Gee was +1, but Jin Young made a birdie on the last to make the cut. So Yeon was still too erratic, but at least she moved up the leaderboard. Really, Inbee was the sole bright spot, and even she needed a chip-in eagle at one point.
Ah well, there's always next year!

After so many different tries they finally found a way for the U.S.A golfers to maybe win another Major. I am not saying this because hardly any Korean Golfers are at not at the top. It's just sad that the people running the LPGA has no integrity left. Maybe Maria shouldn't have been an invite, but I still think it's a terrible Rule to give a two stroke penalty. It seem so random, like a Rule Marshall just pick someone out to time. If there's more to the Rule I can't find it. edit: Maybe someone from the PGA complains about it and they will make a Maria Fassi Rule, yeah right.  |
