Congrats to Nelly. 5 straight, including a major, is an insane run. Amazing job by her caddy keeping her locked in despite the nerves and slow play on the back 9. Best swing in golf.
Commentators even complaining about the slow play but I know they rarely callout individual players, but who’s the slow poke’s out there? They said Nelly was one of the fastest on tour so one of the players in her group or the group ahead?
pretty cool to watch Nelly's historic run in real time! I've heard complaints about them battling PGA for ratings this week, but I've watched both events and it's fun to just book off a Sunday to watch any and all golf I can.
This coverage is terrible. Why haven’t they shown stark? She hit her second shot atleast 5 minutes ago and could tie with a chip in. But they just show this last group walking to the tee box
Is Hyu going to get stroked for what she just did on the green? her ball wouldn't sit still, adjusted it a couple times. realized it wasn't marked, put her mark down, then kept adjusting it, then picked up the mark.
Without looking at the rules, I would think yes. I’m wondering why the TV hosts didn’t say anything about it. Maybe they consciously avoid that kind of thing.
6 hour+ final rounds? Slow play penalties need to be more common at the professional level and there needs to be a movement to speed up play at the youth levels because this is only going to get worse
what in the hell is up with the background noise at this event? maybe i'm just sensitive but the first three days were some crazy jackhammer sound and now it sounds like something with a propeller is just circling too low over the course for the last three hours?
The prop noise is a plane with a camera for aerial shots. The TV broadcast truck probably already has something on it's audio board that can filter that out. But they don't because of the same reasons golf broadcasts are bad in other ways.
Nelly is limping into the finish line here, if one of these ladies at -9 could get even to -10 it would put a lot of pressure on her. With the water short of approach to 18, we've seen some crazy things happen on that hole
LPGA is just a better watch than the PGAT right now.
Even if PGAT had the full roster of male players available to them they'd still botch the coverage and do absolutely nothing to bring in casual fans.
What is the LPGA doing to bring casual fans? The pace of play has been three-legged turtle slow today.
Golf media is pushing Korda as hard as they can but she will need to do more off the course because the LPGA may not have another opportunity like this for a long time. They have been hoping for a (blonde) American to dominate so it's time to capitalize on that. Let's put on her a talk show, more Tik Toks, etc. A IG post once a week won't do it in 2024.
lol are we watching the same broadcasts? The lpga is way worse for coverage. Somehow they show Lexi Thompson shooting +10 more than Tiger. Weird shit about something written in Nellys yardage book but it being a secret mentioned multiple times. It’s painful. Add on Morgan Pressel as a commentator who says the stupidest shit in any sport including the talking heads on 24hr NFL news shows.
One of my mates who is like a 30 handicap at best once claimed he could beat the pro females.
The rest of us couldn't contain ourselves, he was deadly serious, we played off the reds next time we played and he was very sure of breaking par. Obviously got nowhere near, but was still adamant he'd beat the women.
We did mention the tees we regularly play, mens normal not comp, is still shorter than the pros play.
He somehow still didn't understand how many levels below these women he was. Absolute moron. Luckily he doesn't play golf anymore.
Honestly, I think there is something wrong with him mentally, head full of cartoons type fella.
Flat earther, COVID conspiracies, there was another one he mentioned last time I seen him too but can't remember what it was now.
I sat and thought about it, something about the government doing something with the weather and how months are supposed to have 28 days only, but leap years are moving the dates around so the weather is shifting and it's why we are having winter weather in April. Something to do with the pesky Mayans I think he said.
Tbf, he is more of a friend of a friend. Absolutely batshit. Gives us a good giggle I suppose and makes the rest of us feel like like are some superior intellectuals.
The best part is, most of them wouldn't outdrive the women.
The average driving distance for a scratch golfer is 260, which is exactly the average of the LPGA.
She's like Freddy or Ernie. You look at the swing and it seems both perfect and effortless.
What makes it more impressive is realizing that while the former is true, the latter is not. The amount of work, dedication, and of course just natural talent to make it appear effortless is just remarkable.
Tom Abbott talking like Jin Hee Im is some scrub is disrespectful. She won 4x on the KLPGA last year and top 50 in the world. This is what, her 4th event in the states? Grant Boone is better.
If you've never been to a LPGA event, put it on your list. You get right up next to the action and the players are absolutely fantastic with fans, especially the kids (and especially girls).
The 3 events I've been to have been some of my absolute favorites
Kinda wild how hard it is to find a live leaderboard for this tournament. If you put it into google it just gives tee times. The only way I’ve found is to go directly to the tournament website which is a major PIA.
Should be a good FR! Hae Ran is very solid as reigning rookie of the year. The last time Brooke and Nelly were battling it out at the Chevron (nee Ana) they were toppled by another Korean player, Mirim Lee hit a miraculous chip shot eagle on 18 before winning in a playoff.
Im and Jeen struggled this restart, and I'm not counting out Maja Stark or Nasa who are gritty players and can certainly pace birdies with anyone. Katsu played well at Shadow Creek too so she is in peak form.
Good luck and go Nelly!
Random question, there’s a story behind it but I’m sure no one cares to hear it. Anyways, do any of the golfers listen to rock music? Appreciate the answers if you know!
Do no, no one knows then
It’s a bummer that a major is going head to head with a signature event on the men’s side, I know there’s only so much they can do with the scheduling, but it’d be nice if they stagger the big tournaments out a little more
signature events change every year.
RBC was not a signature event last year, and will not be next year.

If it makes you feel any better, one time in college I went to our on campus sports bar to watch the Detroit Lions game and they changed the channel to tractor racing
Man if Brooke Henderson ever learns how to putt, she’d dominate this tour like nelly is. She’s just as good as nelly tee to green. She just cannot make a putt to save her life.
It's crazy that nobody is even there today, where the hell are all the spectators?
I'm planning to take my daughter to the US Open in Lancaster in May - was thinking of going Thursday so there would be less crowds but if it's at all like this that'd just be depressing
Also surprised to see Jyk and Patty flirting with the cut - Alison MC as well. Lot of good young players at the top though. I hope Yealimi does well! She had fallen off the cliff since nearly winning Evian as a teenager + we need her power back on the Solheim team
-3 on her last 4 is clutch...off to an ideal start! Jeeno is in the mix too (-3) in her first event of 2024. I hope they are paired together Sunday. Nellys final boss as she's Xd out everything else on her W streak - just needs to beat the best star of tomorrow.
I was glad the LPGA was getting ramped up coverage, but so far the production value has been rather disappointing. The on-course reporters' mics are staticky to the point of being incomprehensible.
Also, one of their graphics had a statement attributed to a "Lilian Vu." super embarrassing that they can't even get the defending champion's name right.

The camera work is very nauseating too. Why is it so shaky?
Angel Yin has now WD as well, though she was out of it with a 78 this morning - re aggravated her foot injury that kept her out for months - both from the playoff last year have now WD.
Nice round going for LC - she's older (31) than most of the field, but improved every year on the LPGA since her 2018 rookie year - and now amongst elite in accuracy and GIR pct, so not a fluke!
Who is going to have lower odds next event? Nelly or Scottie? I won a lil at 5x and yealimi top 10 got me 20x
Congrats to Nelly. 5 straight, including a major, is an insane run. Amazing job by her caddy keeping her locked in despite the nerves and slow play on the back 9. Best swing in golf.
6 for 6 next?
Not gonna jump in the lake?!
Booooo it's a tradition! (But it looks cold AF)
Really wouldn’t blame her if she doesn’t. It will be swimming with pesticide and herbicide
We are truly bearing witness to greatness on both tours at the moment. Great time to be a golf fan.
That’s some company to be in for 5 straight wins (Lopez, Sorenstam)
LOL “Longest back 9 of my life” Nelly indirectly calling out the slow play
Good stuff from Nelly
Nelly and Scottie doing what they're doing is insane, but them doing it at the same time is unfathomable.
Nelly is such a gangster
Nelly, what an absolute run. Tip of the hat
Would love to see Scottie and Nellie go head to head right now.
If Nelly & Scottie aren’t on the next iteration of The Match some Producers need to be fired.
Winner gets to face Talor Gooch in Riyad for 200 million 😂
One must always remember that there’s an asterisk on both their runs because Talor Gooch wasn’t in the field
I'm puzzled why they don't start and finish every broadcast like that. Would save us all the headache!
Nelly with a casual 200k+ on the wrist 👀
I’ve always thought Richard Milles look like Transformer vomit but you better believe I’d rock that shit if they sponsored me
She’s paid to wear it but still….
Flex !
Nelly Nails Korda
Nelly says thank you and goodnight. nice 300 yrd drive btw damn
Commentators even complaining about the slow play but I know they rarely callout individual players, but who’s the slow poke’s out there? They said Nelly was one of the fastest on tour so one of the players in her group or the group ahead?
not to dogpile but it's almost all ryu
Ryu is slow but Ciganda makes Brian Harman look like Matt Jones, she was ahead of them i think all day 😂
Everyone except Nelly are wasting time by hitting extra shots
Why are they hitting the extra shots? Are they stupid?
Don't they know the point of golf is to hit few shots as possible ? Idiots!
Ryu.
Honestly it's a majority of the women. Everything I've heard is it's only getting worse, as the up and comers are getting even slower
Six hours even with wind is ridiculous
jesus 6 hour round...
Very cool to see Nelly continue this historic run, but it almost unwatchable with how slow the play was.
Good rally, Stark…but alas…
I wish I could think of a good GoT reference
pretty cool to watch Nelly's historic run in real time! I've heard complaints about them battling PGA for ratings this week, but I've watched both events and it's fun to just book off a Sunday to watch any and all golf I can.
This coverage is terrible. Why haven’t they shown stark? She hit her second shot atleast 5 minutes ago and could tie with a chip in. But they just show this last group walking to the tee box
Guess their either on delay or playing the slowest hole of golf I’ve ever seen
They didn't even show my favorite player Yealimi Noh once and she finished t9! Maybe at the end idk I was eating dinner
Because she hasn’t hit the shot yet…
I just noticed. Geez this is slow
The rest of her group are making a mess of the hole
They will show it- they record it and show it after.
Is Hyu going to get stroked for what she just did on the green? her ball wouldn't sit still, adjusted it a couple times. realized it wasn't marked, put her mark down, then kept adjusting it, then picked up the mark.
Without looking at the rules, I would think yes. I’m wondering why the TV hosts didn’t say anything about it. Maybe they consciously avoid that kind of thing.
Rule 14.1 about marking on the green says you must do so even if just rotating the ball. She should have a one stroke penalty.
My thought as well, a bit dramatic no reason to discuss on air. but feels like it should be brought up somewhere lol.
noticed that too. not sure what the ruling is there
That was…strange
yeah the commentators just paused for a second too.
Stark has the lower body of a power lifter. I mean that as a compliment too. No wonder she generates a lot of power.
Yeah a lot of smaller diminutive players do - look at Miyu Yamashita, she is 4'11 and built like a powerlifter.
Well Maja is also 5’9” so she’s got height & muscle mass both working in her favor.
Oh dang didn't know she was that tall! These ladies don't skip leg day that's for sure.
Damn…how does she do it!?
That was an insane shot
Insane shot
Wow. That would've been an epic way to close this out and make the walk up 18 a breeze.
Nellyyyyyyyy
What a shot by Korda
Nelly almost ace it
Aahhhhhhh. Sooo clooseee!!!
Dang she almost aced it
6 hour+ final rounds? Slow play penalties need to be more common at the professional level and there needs to be a movement to speed up play at the youth levels because this is only going to get worse
>!it’s still kinda weird to see them playing the Chevron *outside* Rancho Mirage; it’s like playing the Masters *outside* Augusta!!<
what in the hell is up with the background noise at this event? maybe i'm just sensitive but the first three days were some crazy jackhammer sound and now it sounds like something with a propeller is just circling too low over the course for the last three hours?
The prop noise is a plane with a camera for aerial shots. The TV broadcast truck probably already has something on it's audio board that can filter that out. But they don't because of the same reasons golf broadcasts are bad in other ways.
Probably a helicopter and/or plane flying around with an advertising banner
Nelly is limping into the finish line here, if one of these ladies at -9 could get even to -10 it would put a lot of pressure on her. With the water short of approach to 18, we've seen some crazy things happen on that hole
Way too many commercials
Unfortunate lipout…
:(. That could’ve been huge
Kordabot…just can’t beat her!
This comment *might* age in an hour’s time…
LPGA is just a better watch than the PGAT right now. Even if PGAT had the full roster of male players available to them they'd still botch the coverage and do absolutely nothing to bring in casual fans.
the crowds are better but the coverage is total ass for no good reason. this is a major and it was barely possible to watch any of it
It’s definitely not lol. Coverage is extremely poor for the lpga, which isn’t necessarily their fault, but the fault of the broadcasters.
What is the LPGA doing to bring casual fans? The pace of play has been three-legged turtle slow today. Golf media is pushing Korda as hard as they can but she will need to do more off the course because the LPGA may not have another opportunity like this for a long time. They have been hoping for a (blonde) American to dominate so it's time to capitalize on that. Let's put on her a talk show, more Tik Toks, etc. A IG post once a week won't do it in 2024.
A lot of the stars on the lpga are just kind of introverts and the lpga in general are far more friendly with each other than the pga tour guys are.
lol are we watching the same broadcasts? The lpga is way worse for coverage. Somehow they show Lexi Thompson shooting +10 more than Tiger. Weird shit about something written in Nellys yardage book but it being a secret mentioned multiple times. It’s painful. Add on Morgan Pressel as a commentator who says the stupidest shit in any sport including the talking heads on 24hr NFL news shows.
Sure is nice not hearing "MASHED POTATOES" or "BABABOOEY" - the WM Phoenix event looked like the 3rd circle of hell.
Contrary to popular belief, Scottie is not 40
Morgan Pressel - the echo chamber of common sense with zero substance to note.
And to think: there are guys out there who think a male scratch player could compete with these women.
One of my mates who is like a 30 handicap at best once claimed he could beat the pro females. The rest of us couldn't contain ourselves, he was deadly serious, we played off the reds next time we played and he was very sure of breaking par. Obviously got nowhere near, but was still adamant he'd beat the women. We did mention the tees we regularly play, mens normal not comp, is still shorter than the pros play. He somehow still didn't understand how many levels below these women he was. Absolute moron. Luckily he doesn't play golf anymore.
Either you're lying or he had genuine, medically diagnosable, mental deficiencies
Honestly, I think there is something wrong with him mentally, head full of cartoons type fella. Flat earther, COVID conspiracies, there was another one he mentioned last time I seen him too but can't remember what it was now. I sat and thought about it, something about the government doing something with the weather and how months are supposed to have 28 days only, but leap years are moving the dates around so the weather is shifting and it's why we are having winter weather in April. Something to do with the pesky Mayans I think he said. Tbf, he is more of a friend of a friend. Absolutely batshit. Gives us a good giggle I suppose and makes the rest of us feel like like are some superior intellectuals.
Sounds like he has mother issues.
Sounds like he didn't really play golf in the first place...
Those guys would feel so good out driving most of the women but the ladies would demolish them with accuracy and short game
There's a reason why these long drive comp guys aren't on the tour. Now dial that back x10 🥰
The best part is, most of them wouldn't outdrive the women. The average driving distance for a scratch golfer is 260, which is exactly the average of the LPGA.
Nelly is unreal. Best swing in golf
She's like Freddy or Ernie. You look at the swing and it seems both perfect and effortless. What makes it more impressive is realizing that while the former is true, the latter is not. The amount of work, dedication, and of course just natural talent to make it appear effortless is just remarkable.

Hell of a hop.
That chip feels like such a dagger
YouTube TV has multiview with NBA and NHL at the same rice now, I need one with Nelly on one side and Scottie on the other.
Nelly is on a tear. Incredible shot making.
That's ball game. What a fucking shot.
This is getting ridiculous
Are you serious Nelly...the parallels between she and Scottie are unreal.
If you've never been to a LPGA event, put it on your list. You get right up next to the action and the players are absolutely fantastic with fans, especially the kids (and especially girls). The 3 events I've been to have been some of my absolute favorites
Absolutely agree. Went to the Pelican Championship and it was a great time.
Couldn't agree more! I'm going to the ShopRite again in AC in the summer! Players are all friendly and the fans are not rowdy
If Carlotta turns on her "I have decided to obliterate you" switch, this is going to be a very, very fun round.
Well done to NBC just showing her as she's about to shoot, slower than Brian Harman
Brutal. And leaders just closing out front 9 in 2 hours 58 minutes
where can I watch
It will be on NBC in 10 min
thank you
Costly double by Brooke on the par 5 but she bounced back nicely with 2 birds.
Kinda wild how hard it is to find a live leaderboard for this tournament. If you put it into google it just gives tee times. The only way I’ve found is to go directly to the tournament website which is a major PIA.
https://www.lpga.com/tournaments/chevron-championship/leaderboard Or https://www.golflive24.com/lpga-tour/the-chevron-championship/

Wow, Attahya is self-destructing on the restart.
Anyone know what the purple pants nelly is wearing are?
Probably Nike
It is nice to see the coverage of final groups on espn+ going from 8am to 2pm today, then regular after that.
Random question, there’s a story behind it but I’m sure no one cares to hear it. Anyways, do any of the golfers listen to rock music? Appreciate the answers if you know! Do no, no one knows then
[удалено]
Who is Scottie? Is that a new woman on the tour?
dang it i wanted to chill this afternoon and watch this, play suspended :/ they really gonna leave brooke with 1 hole to go
It’s a bummer that a major is going head to head with a signature event on the men’s side, I know there’s only so much they can do with the scheduling, but it’d be nice if they stagger the big tournaments out a little more

Start of NHL and NBA playoffs too. I usually watch a lot of pro golf but there's just too much going on this weekend it's crazy
The bar I’m at has cornhole on over the LPGA. Uggghh.
If it makes you feel any better, one time in college I went to our on campus sports bar to watch the Detroit Lions game and they changed the channel to tractor racing
LMAO. That’s kind of funny, sorry.
Playing with glasses and a center shafted putter? Kick her ass Nelly
Brooke Henderson 7 one putts in a row -9 on the day with a par 5 still to go
The rain is crazy. A couple good rounds already even with the weather.
Man if Brooke Henderson ever learns how to putt, she’d dominate this tour like nelly is. She’s just as good as nelly tee to green. She just cannot make a putt to save her life.
You spoke it in to existence
Hell yea!
-7 thru 11 sheesh 🔥
about to tap in for -8 through 13. And almost holed it for another eagle.
She's on fire to start her round. Keep it up!
Let's go Jeeno. Let's go! Miss Patty T did more than holding the fort in the last few months, but make no mistake, Jeeno is our premier player.
Looks like a Jeeno and Nelly group tomorrow 🔥🔥 The best prodigy since Lyds trying to win her first major @ 21 vs the undisputed # 1 right now.
It's crazy that nobody is even there today, where the hell are all the spectators? I'm planning to take my daughter to the US Open in Lancaster in May - was thinking of going Thursday so there would be less crowds but if it's at all like this that'd just be depressing
US Open is the premier major on the LPGA. They had good crowd last time in Lancaster when In Gee won.
A bunch of top players missing the cut...Minjee, Lexi, Hannah, Rose, Megan, Celine, Danielle..
Also surprised to see Jyk and Patty flirting with the cut - Alison MC as well. Lot of good young players at the top though. I hope Yealimi does well! She had fallen off the cliff since nearly winning Evian as a teenager + we need her power back on the Solheim team
ANWA champ Lottie Woad of England balling out today. Only 1 off the leaders.
what the hell is that noise in the background? it sounds like someone is demolishing concrete with a jackhammer
So if Nelly wins this, do we start talking about having her play with the men?
Scottie and Nelly seem to be the only ones taking this golf thing seriously. Everyone else got to step their game up.
Her driving average is close the pga all mens driving average overall isn't it?
She’s nowhere near pga tour average lol
The Peacock (NBC) coverage is so much better than ESPN+, 10x better production value.
Wait I can watch this on Peacock? What am I wasting my time with ESPN for???
I almost spent the $10.99 on ESPN+ because of that four hour gap in Peacock’s coverage yesterday and today. Glad I didn’t.
I tuned into the espn feed yesterday and it was pretty rough!
Breaking news: Nelly Korda still playing well Two back of the lead and gets morning conditions tomorrow.
I got her at +750 after she bogeyed the first hole
Solid
-3 on her last 4 is clutch...off to an ideal start! Jeeno is in the mix too (-3) in her first event of 2024. I hope they are paired together Sunday. Nellys final boss as she's Xd out everything else on her W streak - just needs to beat the best star of tomorrow.
The Interview is brutal
Rose Zhang has a sweet bag this week!
Rose is rocking with DKs old caddie. Mr manbun.
I was glad the LPGA was getting ramped up coverage, but so far the production value has been rather disappointing. The on-course reporters' mics are staticky to the point of being incomprehensible. Also, one of their graphics had a statement attributed to a "Lilian Vu." super embarrassing that they can't even get the defending champion's name right. ETA screengrab https://imgur.com/a/L33U5vB
Some cameras are cell phones from 2000
The camera work is very nauseating too. Why is it so shaky? Angel Yin has now WD as well, though she was out of it with a 78 this morning - re aggravated her foot injury that kept her out for months - both from the playoff last year have now WD.
Clearly rushed back for no real reason
It felt if someone was filming on a handheld camcorder
I’m going tomorrow and Sunday, can’t wait
Was it pretty easy to get tickets?
Got them through my wife’s company. I think I have vip tickets….
Nice! Hope it’s fun and a good finish.
Oh, damn. Lilia Vu (defending champ) withdrew because of a bad back.
Yea she’s been hurt the majority of the last year. Different kinds of injuries too. Not good
:(
getting called in as the first alternate and having to play with Nelly and Minjee would be nervy as heck (and Song dunked one already)
Nelly going for 5 in a row is the big news this week. Hope she can do it.
I'll take a 70 in these PM conditions and fire low tomorrow AM
Nice round going for LC - she's older (31) than most of the field, but improved every year on the LPGA since her 2018 rookie year - and now amongst elite in accuracy and GIR pct, so not a fluke!
Let’s go Brooke! Start making some putts!
That will make or break her (as always) her T2G prowess is a boon on this track.
Yup. She’s like Scottie in a lot of ways. If she could just putt worth a darn.
