2023 KPMG Women's PGA Championship

Pretzel must be getting paid by the word.

Because she never shuts the fμ©k up.

Congratulations to Ruoning Yin on winning her first major, the 2023 KPMG.

Congrats to Yin, she deserved it, but I smell a rat. For three days there is almost no one able to break par on this course, and only a small handful under 68. Suddenly on Sunday there are dozens of low scores. "The weather conditions got easier" my eye. They purposely dumbed down the course in the hopes that Zhang or some other American would make a run at the title. It worked too well.

In the top ten we had a 64, a 65, two 66s, and four 67s. 16 rounds in the 60s in the top 24.

A final round, especially at a Major, should be the HARDEST round of the week, not the easiest. A tournament is four rounds, not one round. It's super disrespectful to the leaders, who have struggle for three days to build a lead, to turn a Major into a putting contest on Sunday. With all due respect, it should have been virtually impossible for someone more than 4 shots back to catch the leaders unless they imploded on Sunday or the chaser shot a truly great round. Maguire looked even angrier than she usually does, and she should be annoyed.

I guess the LPGA really doesn't want to have stars. They prefer to have putting battles on the final day featuring mostly second tier players rather than testing their players, probably because they're worried about having their great players make fools of themselves on a national network broadcast by shooting over par. But it's only through tough challenges that we get to see greatness IMO.

I'm shouting into the wind. But there's not much else I can do at this point.

Yin’s ballstriking this week was something special. 36/36 GIR for the weekend, 66/72 overall. She was off in R2, otherwise she missed one green in R1, R3, and R4. That’s really as good as you can hope for.

Disappointing but not surprising after their sister publication group in Michigan, mlive.com, had similarly limited coverage of the Meijer the week before. I guess they must have a corporate policy of minimizing women's golf in their sports coverage.

A 20-year-old won but it was the one who looks 15. Great nerves by Ruoning Yin.

I was worried that Ciganda was going to pull this out somehow. How distasteful that someone sponsored by Saudi Golf could win (Isn't is true that the Saudis don't allow women to drive?). She cooled off just enough after the rain delay.
