Yep watched it. I rooted for her because I'm a pig and she was the best looking woman in contention. Has to be some reason to pick a favorite when you don't know any of the contenders.RaceBannon said: -
The tour has a sex appeal problem for sure. The Korda sisters are a mess at the moment. I personally like Danielle Kang, but she's not doing shit lately either. And where are the hot Euros?????chuck said:

Sounds fantasticTequilla said:Had some free time pop up on the calendar over the long weekend and have put together the plans for an impromptu golf trip this coming weekend
Going up through Idaho into Eastern BC and up into western Alberta before coming back down through Montana and then back home
Courses that I'm looking at playing on this trip:
Idaho Club
Eagle Ranch
Copper Point
Greywolf
Fairmont Banff Springs
Silvertip
Stewart Creek
Wildstone
Shadow Mountain
Wilderness Club
Circling Raven
Was going to head up to play Fairmont Jasper Park but I've heard that the winter was rough up there and the course conditions are supposedly very very iffy. Almost said fuck it because the drive up there is supposedly one of the best drives you can take in the world but figured I'd save that for some other time when the weather/conditions from the winter was a little better -
It was ... I'll have a write-up and some pictures in the relatively near futureDerekJohnson said:

I watched because it was Pebble and the winner got 2 million. Not the choke factor I was looking for though. These days Pebble is better suited to Women anyway. They can play it how it was designedchuck said:

There have been hot women over the years. There are hot Koreans but they weren't in contention. Rose Zahng needs to show more skin
I hit record when the leaders teed off then watched most of in the late afternoon. Even the men's game has ebbs and flows of interest depending on who is on top
Americans love a winner and they won't tolerate a loser - Patton -
Cry harder. The PGA tour abandoned a historic tournament because Trump owned Doral.

I agree that Pebble isn't great for the men anymore. It's sad that we have it every 5 years on a go forward basis. Pebble desperately needs a renovation (green expansion mainly), but it'll probably never get one because it would cost them way too many retail rounds and why would they when they've got US Open's on the books out through 2050.RaceBannon said:

Why does Pebble need green expansion? If anything that’s one of its primary defenses against the menBob_C said:

It’s a course that gets torn up by the pros when it’s soft in February and played as a resort course
It’s a course that is still plenty difficult when they narrow the fairways, grow the rough, and make the greens play super firm and fast. When you add wind into that setup then par becomes a very good score -
Not sure about that Teq. Tiger was 12 under and lapped the field in 2000
Woodland was 13 under in 2019 and it was a battle -
The greens have gotten smaller and smaller over the years. Expand them and you could have some more pinnable areas which would put a premium on actually driving it to the correct side of the fairway. There's basically no strategy to playing Pebble anymore.Tequilla said:
