Chapter 1: What are the highlights from Nelly Korda's second round at the U.S. Women's Open?
Be the right club. Be the right club today.
That's better than most. How about him? That is better than most.
Better than most. Expect anything different.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the note laying up live show podcast presented as always by our friends at Titleist coming to you live from on site here at the United States Women's Open presented by Ally here at Riviera Country Club, a dream come true for these two to my right. The one closest to me is Mr. Big Randy. Hello, big.
Chapter 2: How has the Riviera Country Club lived up to expectations for this tournament?
How are you?
I am excellent, Solly. I guess I can take off my media credential here. If you didn't know, I had it inside the ropes access today.
Your boy is living. TC is here. First ever time at Riviera. Did it meet the hype?
It did. It did.
Chapter 3: What are the biggest storylines heading into the weekend of the U.S. Women's Open?
The course, the setting, I think the cream's rising to the top, the setup, all of it. We'll talk about it all, but 10 out of 10 for me.
It's off to a great start. And of course, tonight's show is actually going to be coming. The first few segments here are going to be coming commercial free, ad free by our friends at Titleist, the number one ball at the U.S. Women's Open. They snuck that one in there. You know, teeny, teeny, tiny ad. But thank you to them for letting us get right to the show. Randy, I'm starting with you.
Chapter 4: What strategies are players using to navigate the challenging course conditions?
biggest storylines of the week. If someone's just trying to get caught up, maybe hasn't had a chance to watch shame on you. First of all, it's been incredible evening viewing a lot of coverage from sunup to sundown, but heading into the weekend, get people caught up. Where, where are we at the halfway point here?
We're in a great spot. I would say forward-looking. Tune in. As TC just said, the cream is rising to the top. We have some excellent names up there on the leaderboard. I would say maybe the biggest story, naturally, Nellie Korda.
Chapter 5: How is Lauren Coughlin performing in the tournament so far?
We're interested in how she is doing. She won the first major of the year at the Chevron about a month ago. plus ago. Struggled a little bit in round one, but answered the bell today with a 67. She has herself at two under par overall, right in the thick of things. I'd argue in an excellent place heading into the weekend.
So I won't step on all the top storylines, but I would say Nellie, Ron and Yen, we have a very good board developing. And I think credit to the venue and the tests that these women have faced thus far at TC.
And credit to Nelly, Gino, LC.
Some fight.
Chapter 6: What insights does Lauren Coughlin share about playing at Riviera?
Yeah, I've seen some grit, some metal, some bottle.
Proper play.
Big Saturday and Sunday coming up for some of these ladies. And you know what? I would say big Saturday, Sunday coming up for LA as well. Get your asses out here.
It's time, people. It's time. And we need some cheer. We need some recognition of good shot.
Chapter 7: What are the predictions for the final rounds of the U.S. Women's Open?
I had Shaq all worked up today. Jeff Shackelford.
Jeff Shackelford, not Shaquille O'Neal.
Yeah, it was all worked. Shaq would have been equally upset. Hannah Green had this unbelievable shot out of the right rough to the front right pin on number five. And there was just like a...
a smattering smattering he's like that's an unbelievable shot where's the applause these people don't know it scottish fans would have been scott they would have been going nuts all over st louis cardinals fans would have been appreciating that it's been a solid crowd it's just kind of a muted atmosphere which honestly lines up with what i feel like i've seen at the genesis as well i never feel like it's kind of a a raucous atmosphere out there but uh
There was a throng of people out there with the feature group in the afternoon, and I think hopefully the numbers are good this weekend because the tickets are available, affordable, and the viewing is one of the best. I've never been to a tournament here.

Chapter 8: How do the players feel about the atmosphere and crowd engagement at Riviera?
I've been here a couple times, but never been to a tournament, and it's one of the easiest spots to go watch a tournament, especially when you get kind of out into that far part of the property. You know, 16 greens, it's right over there by six, seven and eight are very good viewing spots. Five is great. Four is great. You can dart over to the back nine if you need to.
It's, man, it's just a primo, primo venue. And I feel like, I'm really glad we came out and saw it in person because there's just so much to the details of the golf shots that are required, so much to the nuance of the whole locations. I've been kind of, you know, I'm going to nerd out about this stuff, looking over at the shot charts and just seeing how few birdies are coming from the rough.
First of all, the women don't hit it in the rough very often, but just how proper everything is playing in terms of the scale, everything we've wanted Riviera to be for the women, I feel like is on full display.
Yeah, I mean, that's kind of what I was alluding to. Riviera is providing the canvas, the test that these women are going through. I just... We had circled this one specifically, Sully, I think when news first broke about Riviera. And through two days, I just am in love with how this golf course is and how it's playing. And as you said, I followed Ron and Yin most of the day.
And two of her pars stand out to me. Long par fours, 13 and 15. She missed the fairway on each one. And With where the pin is and you're not going to spin the ball coming out of the rough. Like on 15, she had 190 yards in for a second shot. You just have to play to the fat part of the green. You have to take your medicine.
And it left her with, I don't know, a 50-foot two-putt, which was not easy. She converted it. But it just requires a lot of patience. And it's, you know, when you can ā
drive it in the fairway there there are certain points where you really get the green light but then other times it's just just survive just take your par and move on and i just it's a wonderful test of golf i i mean we're gonna get into it i just love how this course is playing The round one lead was five under par. The round two lead in the clubhouse is four under par.
That's a great sign, in my opinion. And I think they can keep pushing the course a little bit, keep tucking those pins. It's going to be a real, real test this weekend.
17 players under par at the halfway point, and only 12 of them are two under par or more right now.
