these two friends Lydia Co Danielle Kang and Danielle put Lydia in this spot at the par 4 Fifth and Lydia paid it off with a long birdie and so then they flip it at six well Danielle has a really good energy to her when she’s on the course plane in team format bunch of rain on on Tuesday and uh last week as well this is team TexMex right here the AR Razer back Stacy Lewis and Maria FY they have become quite the combo here we’re at the 10th and at this par 4 we find Switzerland’s Morgan metro you’re with a partner and it’s somebody that that you can you can rely on to help you out to talk to around and and it kind of gives you a different perspective on on playing Carolina England who played so well last week close to home up at sahali in the Pacific Northwest finished in the top 10 gets that one to drop from off the green watches Stacy go about her business watching how Stacy reacts to adversity I think sometimes can can help here is Elizabeth zoko check in with her at the ninth yeah that’s a great shot out of the rough uh had a little bit of a tree in her line but what a great great approach out of the rough here’s her country woman Maria FY at the 10th FY will be in Paris as well yeah that’s an easy cleanup week Jim deers and his crew in the Pro Shop are such hospitable host his 17th year in that role this is zoko inside the robes inside her head uh I learned a lot stuff you can’t really Buy in a book no that was a lucky one I’m glad I didn’t have to hit anymore she got this one looks good ooh good try it’s always nice when your partner leaves you just tapin for par kind of L dress a birdie putt for Lydia Co that’s kind of what we’re used to seeing from l a little bit more of yeah little bit of a a downhill lie 109 yd to the hole Carolina englas and Amanda dhy teaming up and they lead it at minus three as they play the 15th and a good chance to add another at the ninth a birdie putt for Seline bouttier this team each with a major championship they since they since they played here last year yeah they really brought out the best in each [Applause] other there’s a decent chance they’re going to shoot a good score is that a stretch to say no I would be very happy with with that with that pairing I think uh suzan talked about being paired with with anako and learning a lot from her I think Jin Yano is a very similar kind of player you could learn a lot from being with Jano this is Xi U Linn one of those Olympians he’s playing with aaka buay oh who just narrowly got narly got beaten out by yashida last week I mean by was in the top two in the position for the entire rankings period did as we watched saso until a couple of weeks ago at the shoppr LPGA classic was disqualified for a rules violation got bumped down and narrowly missed after the tight Fairways at sahali or sahal way as they like to say this seems wide open yeah everybody can go back to eating again this week it’s the 11th and Tom Abbott is watching cheyen night and Suzanne Pon is with it yeah that was from 140 pretty good angle there Suzanne yeah she’s got the wind a little bit into right to left I going to help her I think that’s pretty good shot there from this angle at the 10th NASA 157 yd to the hole might want to land this 15055 oo oh how about landing at the actual yardage 157 back at 10 bouti a second yeah just 131 yards nice to play off of yucas sasa’s long drives her Laura’s birdie shop was from a bunker over the other side of the green I puted it off the green into a bunker and her face was a picture this is ran Leu oh oh look gets a hug from yulu no relation it’s a tough format when you have to keep a scorecard in your hand that’s a a poor three I’m still laughing at it poor could just imagine Laura Laura Davis reaction Laura’s arms were just literally down her side chin down with a subtle little double break see if she can get the speed right she sure did I’m still thinking about Laura Davy uhhuh and laying up on a part three okay team BS is now under par see if team cheers can get there as well yes they can Gabby ruffles at the 12th the short par for moved up leading the Louise hugs Rolex Rookie of the Year race at the moment the Aussie playing with Esther henselite it’s just one of those long par fours a couple of bunkers you can see that sneak into play play 436 yards that’s a long par for in cooler temperatures this the par attempt for Carolina englas at 16 everybody Raves about her short game uh chipping skills the uh insane amounts of way she can play different shots around the grains NASA first from 111 yards whole cut back left over the bunker can’t see the surface of the green oh she won’t see it but she’ll like it when she gets up there push that one it’s okay but substandard right this is the 11th again and after the nice approach from NASA jinyang Co for birdie back to back for team cheers NASA cheers for Jin young this is the short 12th the second for Lydia Co should we say for Eagle Karen I think so especially if Lydia CO’s chipping it she’s wondering what happened I left it a foot away 14 is our number that’s our magical number that’s actually great Insight that’s a great pot oh no I I mean I love competing to 12 jinyang CO’s t- shot to39 today Karen it’s a it’s a number that a lot of players most of the players in the field can can give it a go and I think she’ll be fairly happy with with that leave the bunker is literally the only place you don’t want to be here uh it’s fairly wi out there see can give it a rip no she got a lucky bouncer she just bounced over the bunkers they’re in good good shape to the 13th Jin young Co oh sorry Lydia Co Jin young playing the 12th wonder if we’re ever getting Co and Co pairing Here and Now Amanda dhy the comebacker for her team with English we see it every year Karen someone parlays a week like this into a career Resurgence what would you say 10 years ago 8 years ago it’s not that long ago Tom but yeah it was a little bit a few years ago I mean I have my a game I could probably step on a pedal carry like 250 plus but now that’s average yeah good shot there from cheyen Knight H Suzanne’s having fun Jin young Co oh it’s a good looking stroke though and the ball marks they use and if something works you certainly don’t want to change it okay in with a par on a hole you’re thinking at least three at the 13th this is the birdie putt for Danielle Kang Haven seen a birdie at the 13th today yet not a bad place to chip from just over the green chipping back up hill oh boy that had the looks of a two for a long time no you just have to have to let it go and on to the next that’s the nature of golf how quickly you can forget the mistakes it doesn’t run off as as far as it used to sound like a good strike from zoko back into the breeze another good shot and that wind just died down a little bit Daniel Kang for birdie at the 14th that was for their fifth birdie of the day they’ve had a hiccup or two along the way but even par Lydia looking for one more point to make it into the LPGA Hall of Fame it could come this week good look here for shy Knight tough to get it close today Suzanne with that flag yeah you don’t want to put that front end to play either so cheen and Elizabeth is kind of s good Dynamics out here uh well they’ve had success here you know they played very well past champions in the top four finish it’s been a bit of a grind for these two dealing with a right to left tilted green up to the 15th and iaka buay she is as consistent a player as you will find in all of golf over to the tough 16th and Elizabeth zok see see this power that Elizabeth has with the driver and on this 16th hole you could really do with it cuz it plays long and that’s probably one of the reasons why zoko was playing uh the EV of you know the fors I like players with similar games playing together because you’re used to be in similar spots but okay being very confident with the club you select this is 138 yard shot how about that for distance control you could tell she liked it the moment left the club face she’s pushed that well to the right side of the green on the te of the 18th Maria FY the trend here is that the longer players are playing the even holes for sure she would have learned a lot off of Seline bou’s putt that this is very quick playe right to left break no and it just refuses to move all the way at the end maybe inside left Edge back uphill very nice make a lot of those at Lancaster up at the 18th FY with a nice t- shot Stacy Lewis to pay it off she’s become a mentor for FY for a long time let be a good four hiia has been so good in her career from that distance more double Bogies at 16 than birdies today you did not have the hoodie on earlier this week I did not have the hoodie on when I was playing golf but oh no that is wow it’s just oh I mean hit a wonderful drive down there didn’t quite catch the second shot and then you feel like it’s just escalated but I think that can happen in in for it’s going to be a triple bogey there for those two wow now just 149 yd versus 179 y see if she can take advantage of it that was an eight iron it does make such a difference jinyang Co for birdie at 16 yeah pting off the surface of the green right to left break budway at 17 chance to get one of the three shots they just lost back here this 17th and not too many pairings under par but I think the afternoon wave are going to have much fairer conditions that one just sneaking left and she looks uh confused that that turned as much as it did at the hall first cut of rough and didn’t get further left and because the hole is on the right front right part of the screen this is no problem might have had to deal with some tree limbs if the hole were back left there should be some Breeze up there but you can’t feel it on this te this one’s left of the hole looking for just past the flag Danielle Kang at 18 Danielle this one a little more dangerous than it’s line left of the flag it’s going to stay there and give her a good chance lady Co will have that for a birdie come back here for Jin young Co at [Applause] 17 and speaking of the KPMG women’s PGA the defending Champion Amy Yang just watched her partner Jennifer song pitch in what was one of the best celebrations at the end with I mean I don’t think I’ve seen so Le bottles of champagne Unleashed on a player New Zealand Lydia Co there to celebrate with Amy yang this is the par putt for Georgia Hall TR will tap it in that’s a bie yeah that’s going to be quite nice for distance you’re going to drop at least a couple just across the pond to ton 13 okay Ronnie and Gino roing y Ronnie you love to see it if they’ve been practicing that I dare say they have here’s Georgia Hall at 14 that’s what uh what we’ve come to expect here’s NASA for a closing birdie yeah this from Whole high right just a little bit of break SL dunk after a couple that’s a good way to end for triple
