Buhai has a good lead, but not impossible. Hoping she falters and Shibuno storms it, but also like to see Sagstrom push on. There’s a good No Laying Up series, they spent a week with Sagstrom, was an enjoyable watch.

That’s crazy! She must be regularly shooting incredible scores. What’s happened to her?
Or maybe it’s a sign that women’s tees are really easy in the amateur game. They seem to be set for short hitting high handicappers, so no challenge for good players.
Big jump when they join the pro tournaments and start playing off the yellows or whites with the pros.

Just started watching this courtesy oof the free YouTube streaming.
Looks fairly breezy out there. What a shame it's a couple of weeks too late.

Was the golf , injured her wrist in the first season and had to go to qualifying school at the end and didn't make it . Found a very good job so gave up and returned to the amateur ranks

Why wish someone to falter?

Very small crowd there. Why the ladies pro game is strugglìng and without the megabucks of the mens game - there just isnt that much spectator interest in it for some reason. Still havent had an Arnie, Jack, Seve, Tiger type personality that reaches prominence beyond those already following the niche world of ladies pro golf maybe ?
Given course and location, thought there would have been more interested in being there in nice weather for anyone in convenient distance along M8,M9 region.

We need Chun or Shibuno to make a birdie and Buhai to make a bogey - then it will be exciting for the last few holes. The contest needs a bit of oomph.

Just got back from an afternoon at the tournament. Really enjoyed it - course is in perfect condition. Was much more impressed with the women in that wind than i was with the men in similar wind at renaissance a few weeks ago. Thought the crowd would be much bigger but the positive was you could follow a group round every hole and have a great viewing position at each green. I also enjoyed the atmosphere more thsn the mens tournaments - way less drunk people etc. Will go again next year for sure.
I think your point is a very strong one. Ask anyone walking down the street to name a female golfer. They wont name one. Ask people in a golf club, they will do well to name 2. Ask those same people, if they can name 2, who won any of the last 8 majors. They will struggle.
Ladies golf desperately needs a personality who breaks through the niche it currently sits in.

I really enjoyed my afternoon at Muirfield on Friday - I am definitely going to Walton Heath next year for the Women’s Open…it’s so much better IMO to NOT have to listen to drunken shouts of “light the candle…get in the hole” when watching the world’s best golfers at close proximity

Because I’m supporting someone else, same as supporting a football team, I never hope the other team wins……?

I must admit Muirfield doesn’t look that appealing to me
