Seriously, how do you screw up a baton change at this level?

The higher the level, the faster you're going, so the less room for error.
You see far fewer baton change fuck ups at club/amateur level, simply because they're moving much slower.

Early in the final round and Lyds is playing well, tied in bronze position with a birdie putt to come. I haven't been paying much attention but the comms think that if she had putted better she would be even better placed. Tee to green this hole has been precise

@canefan she just drained a chip from off the green, wife got a shock when I yelled “get in the hole”

Hope it was a good shock!

I agree it’s much harder than it looks but the US didn’t even look like they had trained for it. South Africa was even worse. Dude didn’t even have his hand out.

@canefan just saw the replay of Kordas shocker on the par 3...

Didn't see it as I popped away for 5 minutes. What happened?

@canefan missed green had about 20 FT chip up hill tight pin, ball didn't get to top and came back to her feet, twice.

Sounds like an everyday on the links for me....

@canefan I always make it up the hill, usually by skulling it through the back of the green

I'm consistently inconsistent from the fringes and on the green

@canefan she has a tough bunker shot on par 3 10th with her playing partners on the dance floor
-
I'm out of the house for the rest of the afternoon. Hope she does well. Lots of golf to be played yet so anything can happen
@canefan she lipped out for her par and Korda with 3rd bird in a row for a 3vstroke lead, then went wide with her tee shot on the next hole.

@nostrildamus I was referring to the Latvian javelin thrower in the final. Her name is Madara Palameika.
@bovidae apologies.
