2024 AIG Women's Open

Morgan Pressel just credited Jiyai Shin with doing a Beyonce dance after winning in Singapore. Fact check: Ha Na Jang did that, not Jiyai Shin. Morgan Pressel being bad at her job is not a matter of opinion. Because just filling up airtime is a massive struggle for her. But not everyone can hear it evidently. I find that outrageous but what can you do.

How can a broadcaster hope to provide interesting commentary when they massively struggle just to complete a sentence. She is flying blind; most sentences she just starts them without a clear idea of how they are going to finish. Simply put the most incompetent broadcaster I have ever heard in almost fifty years of watching TV sports. A total farce. I will watch the rest of today but I cannot keep this up much longer.

Finished my 21km coastal walk turn on the coverage to see Nelly bogey 17 and Lydia birdie 18. Has Ko K’Od Korda?

Congrats to the Olympic gold medalist, newest member of the LPGA Hall of Fame, and winner of the 2024 AIG Women's Open, Lydia Ko!

Congratulations to Lydia Ko for second big win, her first as a Hall of Famer is great.

Great Tournament by Jiyai Shin for her second-place tie. 
It was always going to be tough for her because she doesn't play too many four rounders on JLPGA.
Great to see her make the clutch birdie to tie for second place.

Jin Hee Im did get a top ten, but I think she three putted a short birdie putt on eighteen.
That caused her to be tied with seven others at tenth place instead of being tied for three others for seventh place.

I see golfers do this too many times when they have a lead late in the Final Round.
Nelly Korda had a two-stroke lead standing in the Fairway at par five fourteen.
Instead of taking the big number out of it by laying up with an iron.
She played the macho bit by hitting a wood that probably caused her the win.
Even laying up, with her wedge game she could have made birdie anyway.
 However, it gave Jiyai Shin a better chance to win so I liked that
 



  

Ko’s grand opening and grand closing to her career must be among the all time greats. It’s like the golfing spirit that inhabited Seve decided to spend a career with Lydia. Does it go back to Young Tom or further? Magic.

Here are the final moments captured for Lyds win

Capt Lewis one of the first to greet her followed by Brooke and Andrea and then all the sisters including Jiyai, Hyo Joo, and MHL. Last but not least a disappointed Nelly.
