A bow to the course.

Similar to Hideki’s caddie at Augusta, Kuwaki bows to the course after taking the clubhouse lead.

[Jamie Kennedy @jamierkennedy]

Amazing resilience from Kuwaki.

Sat in recording for 30 mins then suddenly had to get ready for a playoff, hit a bad drive but composed herself, chipped out and then saved par from 100 yards under the most pressure of her career (below).

A hole later… she won her first major.

Anyone got a theory as to why the Japanese ladies are so good at the Open Championship?

2 straight wins and 3 of 8 after today.

Japanese golf is the exact opposite of links golf. Lush, green, soft, hilly, and tree lined.

Yet they are linksmasters!

Lydia Koat 🥼

Ko's ball ends up in an interesting spot on the 7th!

Before Blades Brown, there was Ryo Ishikawa.

After playing together for the first two rounds @ESInvite, the now 34-year-old 20-time Japan Golf Tour winner had high praise for the new young phenom.

Ryo currently sits T4 in Chicago.

I don’t understand the anger about the golf ball roll back. It will make no difference whatsoever to the average golfer and puts golf back on a path of sustainability. It will also help bring back certain skills in the pro game that have been eradicated over the past 2 decades.

The people who are upset about this decision shouldn’t be mad at the governing bodies, they should be mad at elite pros and club/ball manufacturers because they didn’t want bifurcation. The governing bodies presented us with that option earlier this year. Elite pros and ball manufacturers think bifurcation would negatively affect their bottom lines, when in reality, the game is already bifurcated. You think we play the same stuff you do? They put pressure on the governing bodies to roll it back to a lesser degree for everyone. Bifurcation was the logical answer for everyone, but yet again in this game, money talks.
