Excellent tense finish yesterday at us womens open. Ariya Jutanugarn struggles through a 7shot collapse in her last 9 holes to turn a certain victory into a playoff. Went behind in the 2 hole playoff on the first. Came back to force sudden death. It took a few more sudden death holes to close it out.

She looks the real deal alright

I see Rose Zhang turned pro last week and has a 2 stroke lead heading in to the final day of her first event.

Impressive start, could be a major force for years to come

I'd say the pressure on lexi is immense, so few Americans competing at the very top and she was like the anointed one when she made her breakthrough as a teenager. Can't be easy trying to live up to that billing. Especially when your short game is a bit fragile to begin with!

Lexis putt on 18 to force a playoff, so bad. Mind fried by that stage no doubt. Great though to see Philippines have a major champion.

I wouldn't be Lexi's biggest fan but you could see she was in turmoil during that back nine and I did not enjoy seeing that, at all. As a poster said above, this will scar.

That was enjoyable alright. Saso double bogeyed 2 & 3 so to be able to come back from that and win it at just 19 shows some potential. Lexi just suffered a total mental collapse, not for first time it has to be said. Gonna leave a long deep scar, this one.

Ya I assumed she was done after the two doubles tbh. She looks fairly nerveless on the greens, holed a few great 4-6 footers. Amazing how Asia keep pumping out so much talent in the women's game.

Lexi bottled it completely, I suppose she's only 26 so at least she has time on her side. But as you say she's got previous.

Bogey bogey finish for her and she misses the playoff by one.

Playoff between Saso and Hataoka gone to sudden death.

I love when they have proper coverage of the LPGA events, they're great

Lexi Thompson blowing this big time. Looked set to cruise home around the turn, no surprise if she fails to win it now.

Incredible round of golf from Ko. Actually thought she maybe even left a shot out there, but wouldn't have been enough anyway.

Tavatanakit was cool as you like. Saw on Saturday at near 540 yard 2nd, she went with driver & 7i. That's prodigious hitting on the lpga tour!

Course was playing firm and fast but she is a huge talent and a big hitter too. She averaged 323 yards off the tee this week and hit 85% of her greens in regulation.

What a round from Ko to apply some pressure at least and nice to see her consistently in form again. She is still only 23 after all and many more wins ahead of her. She could write an interesting book later in life

Interview with Shanshan Feng asking her what she did on her break from golf last year. Sounds like she managed to put golf out of her mind for a while

She finished T6 and has managed to hold onto her card by finishing 99th on the money list.

Stephanie Meadow just finished birdie-birdie and is currently T5. Great putt on the 18th with the pressure of a tour card on the line

Stephanie Meadow is leading after the 1st round on the LPGA tour with a bogey free round of -8

She needs a big week to keep her card. The remaining events are all limited fields so this might be her last event of the season

I watched most of the Solheim cup. The golf was good, the finish was exciting and nail-biting. It should have been a tremendous advertisement for the women's game.
However most of the women I know, particularly the younger generation, didn't see it and had little or no interest in the whole thing. When I mentioned it to my niece she said " how could I watch it, we don't have Sky Sports".
I think that the powers that be in women's golf should at least have tried to have the competition shown live on free-to-air TV. They are putting commercial interests above the promotion of the game.

Thought it was gone when she didn't get out of the bunker on 15.

Fabulous entertainment. 5 matches ended on the 18th, another 4 on the 17th. So many swings during the day until the US looked like sealing it at the end. Huge pressure on that last putt.

Joe_ Public

The whole thing just swung so many times over the course of the day, thought europe were getting on top earlier, then us had it in the bag. Then all change with 2 putts within seconds of each other. Americans will be sick, but contributed to absolutely great match.

There is just something beautiful about the Solheim and the Ryder cup.

Give me those two competitions over any other.

That was brilliant. Couldn’t see them winning after Hull and Van Dam matches.

Joe_ Public

Unbelievable...just incredible. What a match!

LuckyGent88

That is some story. What a finish

Joe_ Public

Well, its optimistic on the basis that Maguire likely has the talent and can hit the ground running when she gets on the lpga next year. And the bar for europe qualifying isn't exactly sky high: Caroline Hedwall and Anne van Dam were both automatic picks and ranked 93 and 116 in the world respectively. Though she slipped a bit recently, Maguire was ranked inside top 200 a short while back, so i dont think its all that much a leap for her to get well into contention. Have to see how it goes.

Leona Maguire and Stephanie Meadow. It's an optimistic it must be said! You'd be happy with one making it, more likely Maguire.

Very optimistic I’d have to say. Hopefully one of them will get in.
