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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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'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!

    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

    On to 2nd tie hole v Kupcho. Zhang still doesn't look fazed.

    Great stuff, would've been a massive anticlimax had Kupcho won that

    Can't be something that's happened too often, in any tour, turn pro and win your first event?

    Last time it happened on the LPGA tour was 1951.
