Korean golfers slump continues with trouble following a good round with another good round. Although no realistic chances of winning they have five in top twenty with chances for top ten.
I saw hope for Jeongeun Lee6 minus one through twelve, but she made bogeys on four straight bogeys 14 through 17.

I saw hope for Jeongeun Lee6 minus one through twelve, but she made bogeys on four straight bogeys 14 through 17. Yes, the glass is half full, let's support MHL, Jin Hee, Jin Young and Sei Young (our champions!), Yu Jin, and "Anna Lynn" (Narin An). Let's support as many sisters as possible to finish in top five or top ten...
I do not watch the 'video highlights' on Golf Channel. Live sports is real, it's not scripted and that is what makes it compelling. Alexa Pano has no chance, she shouldn't win, but she does! (2023 ISPS Handa) Who's Hira Naveed? Missed the cut by eight strokes this week. She has no chance... why even bother... misses the cut almost every time, oh, wait, the one time she didn't miss the cut, she finished 2nd in the Ford in Arizona back in March! That's why sports is compelling...
Rose trying to hold off Korda, that's a 'dog bites man' story. Big names there, lots of interest, less to me. Sure, I will congratulate the winner and it will be sincere. When's the last time you heard 'Haney' (me not the 'real Haney') support a Scandanavian? Go Madelene, you wear the 'Amy Yang' style bucket hat... If Sagstrom wins, that will be a 'man bites dog' story...

All the foot traffic will be a few holes behind you for the Nelly and Rose circus. I hope you get there early enough to catch some of Yealimi and Hyo Joon group.

I'm able to watch via Sky Sports YouTube channel and have tuned in to see Nelly going backwards and Sagstrom channeling her inner Abba (50 years after they won Eurovision). Sei Young doing well. Meanwhile the missus is on Aurora watch - the UK's gone crazy for the Northern Lights this weekend!!!

Sei Young came to play but 2 bogeys on par 5s?! It could be better
Yealimi inch worming her way up the leaderboard, hopefully can get cozy inside the CME top 60 soon (currently 63)
Are Sags and Rose playing the same course? Impressive stuff
Don't look now, but Mao Saigo decided to enter the ROTY 2 horse race between Gabi in JH Im.

Yes, I was traveling during much of the round but had a chance to peek at the scores on my phone occasionally. When I saw Sei Young T3, although without a chance of catching the two leaders, I wanted to comment, "Who plugged in Sei Young Kim?!?!? And why did they wait until the 3rd round to do it???"
It would be great to see Sei Young finish 3rd, and several of the other sisters end up in the top 20.

Korda Two shot 73 today, but you'd think it was 83 as she scowled her way through a post-round session on the range. She was beating balls with one particular iron and Looper Jason McDede was there taking an endless number of swing videos. Part-way through the session, she put on an inflatable arm wrap that went around her right elbow area. It was hard to pick up what she was saying, but she moved her right hand to a couple of positions at the top of a simulated swing and said something like, "it feels like back here when it should be over here."
*********
MHL's best hole today was the par-5 14th, listed at 521 yards. She busted her drive down the middle and her ball came to rest 7 paces ahead of a 262 green-center sprinkler head. Maybe that 255 figure was deceptive, because she reached the green with a 3W (could have had some roll out on that, too). Next up was a left-to-right eagle putt attempt ... she read it perfectly, but it ran out of gas and finished one inch short.
*********
I'm guessing that MHL's loop this week, Su Min Yu, will be around for a while. He was wearing a cap that said Maridoe Golf Club on the back ... I looked it up ... it's in Carrollton, TX which is like K-Town for big-time golfers. Maybe he has a job there. The pic below is at the 2nd tee.

Sei Young has been hands down the most consistent sister this year. Seems like she is routinely in the mix on the weekend or fighting for a top 10 in 2024. Seeking 3rd place finish #3 already. Hae Ran would be next guess to steal a top 10 this week, she played well today too. Jin Young would not surprise me either of course!

Are the top two golfers playing a different golf course than other golfers. Havn't seen so many bogeys with so many birdie opportunities out there.
It's not like the Leaders are top ranked golfers

Whew, looks like I bailed from this one at the right time. No Sisters in the top ten. Jin Young actually came close to beating Korda for what it's worth. I can only imagine what the coverage was like. On the English language KLPGA coverage on YouTube, the commentator fell asleep and audibly snored for like an hour and a half, and I still prefer that to Pressel and Tom. Heck, if they hired that guy for the LPGA, it would probably be more appropriate. Credit to Jin Hee for an all right week and Yu Jin for making something out of the bad week she was having.

Great job by Rose Zhang! I bailed out on her when she failed to birdie 12 leaving her three shots behind Sagstrom and turned the TV over to the NBA. Fortunately, I still had the leaderboard up online and saw she got it to within one after 15.
It was in essence a match play scenario and Rose came through tough. I bet Stacy Lewis was relieved to see a different American winner.
Golf Central showed a funny stat where the gap between 2nd place and 3rd was as large as the gap between 3rd and 64th.
