not been devastated by it like some people were.

I mean, her attitude is just incredible how different it is from just five, six years ago when I saw her at Wilshire and how easily she was annoyed by mostly slow play stuff.

And now she's just so calm, graceful, just the temperament, the vibe.

She's just so relaxed and just doesn't look nervous at all.

But yeah, that was a bit of a yank.

Yeah, the crowds really were more a product of the time of year and going to a market just like they did with Houston.

When you go to a golf course where the tour is in the same year, this just never worked well historically in the game.

And the USGA had vowed to stop doing that, except at Pebble Beach.

And same with the RNA, essentially with the old course, which is just different.

Pebble Beach is just different.

uh nobody minds seeing those places twice a year and all that but in la there's a lot going on it's graduation day on thursday for a lot of local high schools so it wasn't a shock i don't think it was really a statement about the women's game i thought the marketing was kind of weird too not a lot of visibility locally a lot of tv ads and things like that so i don't think you can really pin that on

the women um i actually think a lot of the the best thing that can happen for the women's game is to not have the conversation of is this a jumping off point can we what can we do now because you get a lot of that with the coverage of the lpga and i think that's a turnoff to people and uh i think it's also it it there's almost it it's uh showing weakness in a way like well

Shouldn't the topic just be what a great champion she is and what an incredible leaderboard it was.

Gabby Lopez birdies the 18th hole to tie the club out of sleep.

Charlie Hall goes 65-67.

I mean, look at the diversity of the leaderboard, just age and nationality and character.

That was a nice farting slip there.

Yeah, she.

Slower and shorter.

Gabby.
