tony@CIC Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 What a difference in Lydia vs. the rest of the field. I felt sorry for Nelly who just couldn't putt yesterday and having to play with Lydia who was making all of her putts. excourse, fixyurdivot, cnosil and 1 other 4 Quote Left Hand orientation SIM 2 D Max with Fujikura Air Speeder Shaft Cobra Radspeed 3W/RIptide Shaft 410 Hybrids 22*, 26* Cobra Speed Zone 6-GP/Recoil ESX 460 F3 Shafts SM7 54* Wedge Glide 3.0 60* Wedge O Works putter V3 NX9-HD - 4 Wheel EZGO TXT 48v cart - too many shoes to list and so many to buy And BAG Boy Golf Balls: Vice Pro Plus 2020 Official Tester Beginning Driver Speed - 78 2019 Official Tester 410 Driver 2018 Official Tester C300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchat07 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 They brought up a stat about Lydia that over her last 100 holes she has 1 bogey and is 38 under through her last 5 rounds. That is absurd! O and for those who've forgotten (me included) shes still only 23!Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app cnosil, fixyurdivot and excourse 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some say that, because they typically have better than average length, they choke up for increased accuracy on many shot situations. Lydia and Brooke do it on all their shots; it isn't just for control like most other players. If I remember right, it was because they learned with clubs that were too long and they got used to the choked down feel which is why they don't cut their clubs down to proper length, fixyurdivot 1 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe Backup Putters: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W, TM-180 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The announcers touched on Lydia last night that she also chokes down even more for distance control and her caddie has notes on how far each club goes based on how much she chokes down. fixyurdivot, cnosil and tony@CIC 3 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent 87 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Lydia's ball striking was so good on Saturday. She always seems to be so relaxed too. I think this is showing up to be the year of the comeback. excourse and tony@CIC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall that conversation on the back nine yesterday. The announcer pointing out she had choked the wedge down to the bottom of the grip as her caddy was advising her of the distance. . The other surprise yesterday was the rookie from Ireland - Mcguire. She had an intensity about her that even exceeded Lexi's. excourse 1 Quote Left Hand orientation SIM 2 D Max with Fujikura Air Speeder Shaft Cobra Radspeed 3W/RIptide Shaft 410 Hybrids 22*, 26* Cobra Speed Zone 6-GP/Recoil ESX 460 F3 Shafts SM7 54* Wedge Glide 3.0 60* Wedge O Works putter V3 NX9-HD - 4 Wheel EZGO TXT 48v cart - too many shoes to list and so many to buy And BAG Boy Golf Balls: Vice Pro Plus 2020 Official Tester Beginning Driver Speed - 78 2019 Official Tester 410 Driver 2018 Official Tester C300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saso is going to be interesting to see what she does. Interesting comment on her was she was the only person other than Kupcho to shoot in the 60s at Augusta in 2019 tony@CIC 1 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Lydia isn't quite ready to become a ho hum top 20 contender. Looks like Lydia got game and she passed the field. Was pulling for Nelly, sport the new Titleist driver and fairway. Congrats to Lydia. Korda holding her own, number one on tour.
