Unk is fine. He's on a Scoopcation ... which makes him smarter than the rest of us!

The Women's British Open may be the most entertaining tournament of the year.  Predicted winds of 40-60 miles per hour.  So bad that they are slowing the greens and pre-planning easier pin positions.   

Glorious.

Rico went on a buddies golf trip to Michigan, and is taking a self chosen break from  scoop.   I would expect him back in a couple more weeks.

what?  didn't even know he was gone

It feels like that course is getting obsolete for the men's game...

[Herman Cain]

Rooting for Charlie Hull . Seems ready to put four good rounds together and win her first Major.

It may be.  But the R&A view it differently than the USGA.   The USGA views par as sacred.   The R&A sets up the course and lets the weather dictate outcomes.   If it is benign and Bryson shoots 25 under, them's the breaks.   If it is as it is supposed to be the next four days and nobody breaks par, cool.

Reako has buddies? Hoo new, hey?

Fairway woods and hybrids into the 362 yard first hole.   It will be carnage the rest of the day.

They do. Chicago GC hosted the US Women's Senior Open in 2018.

I see that women, african americans and jews are now allowed membership, and yet still the 5th most exclusive club in the world.

Well yeah, I think the distances are perfect for women on that course. The men can just blow it past most of the hazards off the tee.

There hasn't been a winning score under -10 on that course since John Daly in 1995. I don't think that's just weather.

Also rips cigs on the course like John Daly's long lost British daughter

That is why I want her to be successful this week.

She's not underage Herm.

Charley with Excellent First Round. Leading at -5. Hopefully she can the momentum.

Nelly and Charley both stunk up the place today.

The ladies are putting on a show.   Back nine at St. Andrews should be awesome.

[tower912]

4 tied late on Sunday.   All have been world #1s at some point.

[tower912]

Ko hit the shots and made the fewest mistakes.  Kongratulations.

[MU82]

Exciting finish. Korda just couldn't execute down the stretch. She's probably pretty disappointed.

[tower912]

Good for Keegan.   Playing Captain?

[MuggsyB]

Awesome job by Lydia Ko.  A lot of people thought she would never get back to greatness.  She has serious skills and quiet power with a wicked wedge game.  I could see the floodgates opening, she's only 27.  Outstanding weight distribution in her swing.

Lydia is a great example of how hard it is in professional golf to keep top form year after year, even for the most talented.

Also, I would caution on the age thing. The career span on the LPGA looks nothing like the men's Tour.
