Lydia SUPERSTAR Ko
-
<p>Lydia off first and fires another good drive - this time slightly right which is a bit trickier coming in</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Henderson hit a big banger, much better than last time and has gone up left side.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Both on fairway</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tough hole this 412yards so a long one for the sheilas</p> -
<p>her putt on 16 was pretty poor too, never looked like going in, but normally she would nail those like on 17! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hey, cant win em all</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Class in talking after too, really is a superb role model! </p> -

<p>Man she is just so consistently superb.</p> -
<p>It is just insane how good this girl is, even if she doesn't manage to get back and win, the fact she is there pretty much every week is simply outstanding. While she isn't probably as dominant as Tiger at his peak, her consistency makes her a threat every time she tees up in a different way.</p>

<p>Controversy to finish too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The 3 hole play-off was pretty much decided by a two stroke penalty for grounding of club in hazard. She didn't realise she had and they told her the next hole.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I can see why she didn't realise she had grounded her club too. I think one grain of sand was touched....</p> -
<p>I hate that rule too, cant see the point of it TBH, given if you ground your club too heavily the ball will move anyway, I don't really see any benefit if you are allowed to ground your club (hazard I can understand as often you might have a foot of some kind of grass/brush or something, and grounding your club can help clear some of it)</p>
-
<p>In this case, the hazard was a bunker and if you ground your club properly it creates a tee-like effect in the sand to help launch your ball so I can see why the rull exists.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have a mate that didn't ground his club but would remove sand on back swing creating the same effect. It took a long time to convince him that he was to be penalised</p>
