yes, I don’t like 3 round tournaments for stokes play. It’s not because of LIV. Like I said, she stole this one. Good for her. Look at her stat for the year. Speaks for itself.

She didn't steal it, she won it with a great, SCHEDULED final round! Seriously you really know nothing about golf. Ever play?
You can have one good round in a 4 round tournament and win. Happens quite often.
Like saying if the game went another 30 seconds the other team would have won. Well you know what you play the game by the specified rules. Best team doesn’t always win. And in golf and single person sports. You only need to be hot at the right time.
She made the cut on the number. She missed the cut 50% of her starts this year and only one out of her last 6. A great round can help win a tournament if you have 3 good rounds. This was not that.
Your example of extra 30 secs is not apples vs oranges. Not sure if you follow the knicks in the playoffs. They had a bunch of injuries but was able to play out of their mind to win game 5. But was not able to win the series because the injuries was too much and they lost game 6 and 7. But they would’ve won the best of 5 series.
What do her results in previous tournaments have to do with her having a chance to win this tournament?
You keep moving the finish line. She won the tournament. We are not talking about historical numbers or her other finishes this year. We’re talking about her shooting a 60, 12 under par, and winning this tournament. Don’t know what you are trying to say with your knicks argument. Were they supposed to wait until the roster was healthy? Was it originally a best of 5 series? The format for the tournament was a 3 day event.
You never heard of the expression that one team stole the game? She had the round of her life at the right time.
Not this tournament. But mean reversion would mean she wouldn’t win if there was a round 4.
I said multiple times that she stole it. That means she won. She took advantage of the situation and capitalized.
But that’s just it. There wasn’t a situation to take advantage of. There was nothing to steal. She played the format. Just as everyone else. It was a 3 day event that went the distance.
He admitted yesterday he doesn't watch LPGA or Senior Golf so he isn't the golf fan I thought he was. Seems to just jump on this thread to complain about something he doesn't like.
Knicks coming back from 5 down against the Sixers with about 30 seconds to go is stealing again. A golfer being better than everyone else in a tournament or that day is not stealing a game.
No, don’t know for certain. but based on her performance this year, not very likely. She broke 70 only 6 out of 33 rounds this year. She didn’t shoot below par 20 out of 33 rounds. Just facts. If she goes lights out rest of the year, happy to say I was wrong.
Anyone participate in debate club in high school? Ya know, where you’re given a topic and a side of the argument and you have to try to win the debate defending your side? Starting to feel like jtung was just given this hill to die on.
Anyway, US Open week. Scheffler vs the field? Scheffler vs Pinehurst PD? Let’s move on.

I like Morikawa. He’s had a nice run also. Been in the final pairings at Masters and the PGA.
Pretty good list. I would feel better about Thomas if he was more consistent right now. A few years ago I would have had him as the favorite here. Pretty good bet the winner is on this list.
Wow! When he said it still hurt I was thinking doesn't sound good but thought he would give it a try.
Any alternate announced taking his spot?
Jackson Stuber from the Korn Ferry Tour. He was a 1st Alternate from "Golf's Longest Day" at a course in Maryland.
Huh? Seriously?? The entire round Thursday is being televised.
Friday all of its being streamed in the morning and TV starting at 1pm

Sorry.....'behind a paywall'. Most of us in this thread likely have Peacock if you're a golf fan but to the casuals that only watch the majors and don't have a Peacock subscription, you're going to miss 80% of their first two rounds.
Where are you getting 80%?? USA. TV not streaming all day Thursday. Friday 1-7 on NBC. Streaming Peacock Friday morning.
If you are golf fan and don't have Peacock maybe those people aren't really golf fans, just saying. Like our friend @jtung230
TV coverage on Thursday is until 5pm. They tee off at 1:14pm that day. If you figure a 5 hour round, then about 13 holes will get completed on tv before going behind a paywall. Friday's entire round will be behind a paywall. So I guess I'm inflated a bit, but a solid 65% of their rounds won't be shown on cable. I don't get why golf requires so much hoop jumping for both their fans and casuals. NBC is paying pennies on the dollar for these rights and they make it ridiculously difficult for people to just turn on their tv and watch.
Ever try watching other sports lately? You don't have Peacock?? Or watch Rutgers games? The day all sports are on over the air TV is over. Wake up and get used to it. Besides you are blaming the wrong party. Blame the USGA. They control it. Not the network and it's all about more money!
If there is anyone out there that still doesn't have Peacock, NBC is running a promo currently for new/returning subscribers for $19.95 for the first year. I'm sure there won't be a better price than that, and in additional to all of the golf, there will certainly be Rutgers football and/or basketball games on it this fall/winter.

Looking forward to today's round. I had the golf on all day yesterday but work kept me too busy to really pay attention. Visually #2 looks like a nice course but I can see those Donald Ross mounded greens. I would probably shoot over 100 there.
What was Homa thinking? Hitting fairway metal out of the scruff. Looked like me trying a hero shot.
It looks like they are starting to lose some greens already. USGA is beyond stupid.
