Damn that Black Desert course is gorgeous
The LPGA has played a bunch of visually stunning courses this year.
Fields Ranch East is .... not that.
Wild finish at Evian!
Incredible final round by Woad, that's how you mount a charge. Came up just short, but super impressive.
Evian was crazy at the end

Nice to see Brookes win again
Presidential granddaughter Kai Trump with a lol sponsor’s exemption this week. High school senior whose AJGA ranking is 461. I mentor a class of 2027 girl with a ranking much better than that.
I’ll set the over under at 167.

Funny you should mention this as this tournament is 20 minutes away from my house and I am going to try and go tomorrow or Friday. I looked at GHIN and her posting history is interesting. I volunteered at this event as a walking scorer through 2023 so I see some of their interesting sponsor invites they give out. They gave one a number of years ago to a local, she shot 90 in the first round.
Great start by Nelly.
I definitely like this course more than the Club at Carlton Woods, let's see if they can draw any kind of crowd on the weekend. Attendance so far seems pretty sparse.
only witnessed the last two holes of her second round
but if she plays even half as well in relation to par no doubt she walks away with the championship
14 under, 7 clear of the field after 36 holes is stupid good
Deng gal from Canada had it going but fell off a bit. Future Star?
HUGE future star. Accomplished amateur, checks every box. Looks like she's already got an apparel deal.
Having the US Open at Riviera is a huge win for the LPGA. Easy call yesterday to watch that over the Memorial, no offense to the olden bear.
Why in the high holy would you name you daughter Asterisk? I'm a nice person, but if my parents named me that, I'd punch them in the mouth.
If they wanted to be unique, they should have named her Final.
Asterisk Talley felt things slipping away on Friday.
After opening with a round of even par at the 2026 U.S. Women’s Open at Riviera Country Club, the 17-year-old amateur got punched in the mouth by the George C. Thomas design and thought she’d be heading home early.

Spoiler
She isn't. Finished -1 and playing the weekend.
Asterisk Talley is an American amateur golfer. In 2024, she won the U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball and was runner-up at the U.S. Girls' Junior and the U.S. Women's Amateur, becoming the first to compete in three USGA championship final matches in the same year.

her mother is from Greece and in her native language 'asterisk' means 'little star'
wonder if you disagree?
yes i will always watch drive chip & putt during Masters week because how awesome is it for those kids to be competing in any sort of golf activities at Augusta National
Asterisk Talley, similar to Akshay Bhatia, is someone i probably only remember participating because of their name.
speaking of which keep an eye out for Texas Terry in the future
