No thread on US Women's Open???  Shocking!

?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnbc-sports-production

favicon-16x16.png After an early 10, Nelly Korda shockingly shoots 80 at U.S. Women's Open

Korda made a 10 on her third hole Thursday and failed to break 80 at Lancaster Country Club.

I love watching Nelly, but she seems to struggle in our nation's Open.

That’s rough. After her incredible run lately she puts three balls in the water. Made me think of Tiger’s 10 at the 12th on Augusta, also with three submarines.

Round one had three amateurs in the top ten and 20 players shoot over 80, and the top player is already out of it? Ouch.

No complaints from me. Every  major should test every shot  a  golfer  has.

Same dumb schtick since joining.

It seems like any small mistake is exponentially exacerbated in the U.S. Open set up.  This tournament seems to be a very good test on identifying who makes the least mistakes - not who makes the best shots.

In this case they are  playing a  course where a  mistake  means a  bogey  instead  of a  par.

I am hoping Minjee Lee can put together another good round tomorrow and win her second U.S. Open Championship.

Of the remaining LPGA players, she would be the one I will be watching.  I was hoping Nelly would somehow pull off a miracle and make it into the weekend, but that 10 on par 3 on Thursday derailed her any chance of making it to the weekend.

Being  humbled  might  be good for  her  in the  long run

I presume you are referring to Nelly?

Seems like she cannot handle the USGA's set up for some reason.  I am rooting for her to figure it out soon and get her hands around that trophy.

Pretty solid play for Saso. I enjoyed it. Meechai took a beating. That’s a US OPEN right there!

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
