Ina fans and some others are still pissed at Yewon for that remarking the ball incident during Match-Play.
Essentially, comments on YT blame Yewon for being arrogant and rude while standing crosslegged watching Ina break the rules instead of speaking up and stopping Ina from breaking the rules for instance by conceeding the putt.
*face palm*
They are lumping Yewon and Minji together for arrogance and whatnot for their behavior during Match-Play.
There was no penalty. It's Match-Play. Ina can putt again. Overall, no big deal.
I remember a survey of some players thought Ina shouldn't be forgiven so quickly. I assume the players aren't thrilled she is playing again. Anyway, Ina should know the rules. These events give me the impression Ina is very passive and trusting person. She needs to mature a bit and learn the rules.
I am not really thrilled that Yewon is taking heat online for Ina's mistake.
One comment said something like "I like Yewon less now because there's arrogance dripping from her eyes." Yewon didn't reach the top by being passive and indecisive. Park Ji Young marvels at Yewon's confidence. It is her trump card. Kim Minbyeol could use some confidence.
Anyway, hopefully the internet will calm down on this soon.

I talked briefly about this in the match play thread. I don't bring up every time there is another big discussion involving Ina, but you can basically assume that every time she plays there will be at least one video with around 100K views and 500 comments.
Essentially, what I said was that if it's in the rules, it's fair. OK, if I were in that situation, I would have conceded and not made her putt it a second time, and it's kind of weird that Lee is watching Ina break the rules and doesn't mention anything until she is done, but still, what Lee did is totally within the rules, and Ina didn't complain at all about it, and Yewon was not overtly mean about it, either. It's a nothing burger controversy, but it's still interesting because it shows that there are a lot of fans invested in these players.
Now, this is also a teaching moment for Yewon. If she is going to be the big gun on tour, she is going to have to deal with people reading things into her actions that might or might not be there. It's not fair, but that's also the way it is. So she needs to learn how to handle dicey situations like this. She doesn't want to become the next Ha Na Jang.

I think I can agree with all of what you said.

There are Fans that are going to take shots at both players.
So they just need to be able to handle it and move on.
There are so many rules in golf maybe too many, so these golfers are going to make minor mistakes.
I didn't watch the Tournament after Hee Jeong Lim gave her Match away.
So I didn't see their Match.

There are so many rules in golf maybe too many, so these golfers are going to make minor mistakes. I didn't watch the Tournament after Hee Jeong Lim gave her Match away. So I didn't see their Match. Here's the video: half a million views + 3000+ comments to date. Basically, what happened was, Ina hit her putt because she was farther, then, like in stroke play, she stepped up and tapped in for par. Yewon Lee seemed to be watching Ina hit her par, after which she told her that she was not allowed to hit the par because she was closer to the hole, and forced her to put her ball marker back. She then hit her par, after which Ina hit hers again. The people complaining about Yewon say 1. she should have said something before Ina putted and 2. she was 'rude' in the way she told Ina and 3. she should have not made her putt again. My reaction is, whatever, it's match play. People make mistakes, and rules are rules. |

HappyFan is right.
Watch closely. After Ina's putt Yewon steps up to begin her turn knowing the rules.
Ina ignores Yewon and begins her putt. Yewon stops; is interrupted. Do you like to be interrupted?
Ina really should follow the rules. You would think after 18 months off the tour she would know the rules so this sort of thing doesn't happen.
I agree with HappyFan. It's no big deal.

It's no big deal. Ok I just saw the replay and have no comment about who broke the rules or what the other person did. I was just commenting on fans reaction to different situations. Sometimes in Match play you are concentrating so much on each hole that you can make mistakes. Once on hole seventeen up by one hole I was asked to move my mark and forgot to put it back. I lost the hole and was lucky to win eighteen with a par. |
