It's apparently not for too long, though, as she plans to defend her title in a month.

So… ???

Something going on there. A month? Maybe her guilty conscience is getting to her? This is interesting.

Very odd. Wasn’t a family member of hers really ill? I wonder what prompted this. The American ladies need to start competing. They are getting smoked in each tourny.

Asking out of genuine ignorance here:  is this comparable to Dustin Johnson's vacation a few years ago where it will be rumored to not be entirely voluntary?

Either that or some serious family matter.  IMHO  

It is really odd that it’s for only a month. Something’s rotten in Denmark.

If it was that why say she needs to work on herself?

Could be just her turn of phrase. Unless she's emotionally done in. I could see someone "having to work on themselves" to get out of a bad place. End of the day we can only speculate for the time being.

It certainly seems like something that ‘suddenly came up’ (Brady Bunch, yes). Taking a break, resting, etc..can be scheduled but odd to skip a major for that.

To play devil's advocate, when you're tired, and mentally drained, you are. A long flight overseas, jet lag, playing a tournament that may not suit her game all that well… might be a good time to take a break. Do nothing for a week or two. Get back a week or two before defending the tournament.

A sign of major mental depression, perhaps? She's 23, her mother has cancer, plus the "ruling thing". Plus she has had to play adult on the tour and in the public eye for a long time (since age 13 I recall?). I'm for cutting her some slack. Best ,-Marv

Yeah slack is fine. I’m just saying with a problem like that one would usually do as DJ did and just take a leave. But her enthusiastic ‘I’ll be back to defend’ in just a month just seems like it’s more about getting something done.

If he was even remotely serious… you may have a point.

      This Putting Product Actually Seems Like it May Have Some Value.

      I always get adds for "Find your Eastern European Soulmate" I think it's a nifty gadget to have at home. If your going to do a dedicated putting session I could see setting it up. Thanks for sharing.

      Here's the bet. Assuming the pursuit of a Tour card holds, who wins their first Tour event? Charlie, or this Russell kid? Bet is off if Miles Russell signs with LIV.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By billchao ·

      It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.

      And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
