Lydia hitting in first as not as long as Henderson. Coming in with a 5iron and she has hit a great shot in. Heart of green and make-able birdiie putt for sure. Prob 12-15 feet at a guess

JK

Henderson from the left even better tho and prob only 2 feet from a major championship victory

JK

DOnt think she could have hit that any better

JK

Lydia has to sink it and knows that Henderson wont miss so has to go pretty hard at it.
 
Cant do it though so Henderson will have a short putt for birdie and the championship

JK

Henderson holes out as expected. Great win.

Really lost it with that missed birdie putt on 17.

Yeah, that was Lydia's chance.

taniwharugby

her putt on 16 was pretty poor too, never looked like going in, but normally she would nail those like on 17! 
 
Hey, cant win em all
 
Class in talking after too, really is a superb role model!

JK

Has just won her 13th LPGA title! Outstanding!!!

Man she is just so consistently superb.

Hooroo

2 shot lead after 6 holes.
 
Go Lyds!!!

JK

Well it was until she dropped 3 shots in 2 holes. Now trails by 1. And just hit a nasty hook off the tee on 10 too so this will be a massive test for her to come back

JK

Managed to save par at 10 with a tricky downhill 1 putt.
 
Park leading at -6
Lydia and 3 others at -5
 
Plenty of holes still to play

taniwharugby

It is just insane how good this girl is, even if she doesn't manage to get back and win, the fact she is there pretty much every week is simply outstanding. While she isn't probably as dominant as Tiger at his peak, her consistency makes her a threat every time she tees up in a different way.

JK

Three way tie for lead at -6 now - Nordqvist, Park and Lang.
 
Lydia just dropped another so two back at -4 after 12

JK

Scratch that. Park just dropped a shot
 
Seems to be some time issues too with Park and Ko's group. They are getting the hurry up and appear to be running a bit between shots.

Hooroo

Controversy to finish too.
 
The 3 hole play-off was pretty much decided by a two stroke penalty for grounding of club in hazard. She didn't realise she had and they told her the next hole.
 
I can see why she didn't realise she had grounded her club too. I think one grain of sand was touched....

taniwharugby

I hate that rule too, cant see the point of it TBH, given if you ground your club too heavily the ball will move anyway, I don't really see any benefit if you are allowed to ground your club (hazard I can understand as often you might have a foot of some kind of grass/brush or something, and grounding your club can help clear some of it)

Hooroo

In this case, the hazard was a bunker and if you ground your club properly it creates a tee-like effect in the sand to help launch your ball so I can see why the rull exists.
 
I have a mate that didn't ground his club but would remove sand on back swing creating the same effect. It took a long time to convince him that he was to be penalised

taniwharugby

yeah I don't entirely agree, I mean you get people on fairways/rough that will ground the ball enough to give them the same sort of advantage when pressing down the dirt/grass behind the ball, similarly, sand, you still need to strike it correctly, and again if you ground it with the intention of making a 'tee' there is a chance the ball will move anyway (I am talking the vast majority of golfers here, not pros)
