That was a total implosion

Four shots, maybe five, in front.

Norman-at-the-Masters like.

I think I saw an interview with Jack 10-15 years ago, saying some guys on Tour were comfortable being there but didn’t really want to win—because winning would be to much for them to handle.

Think Lexi gave us a vivid example

SASO with the bird put to win....long one.

[peternorth]

Now Saso MUST make this putt to extend the playoff...

 

[peternorth]

CLUTCH SASO!!!!

 

[peternorth]

If Hako this will be the first time in golf history that two natives of Japan have held the Masters and LPGA US Open

 

[peternorth]

Saso again for the win......

YES!!!!! SASO IS THE USA OPEN CHAMP!!

Disturbing trend across all codes. They are only to happy to do interviews when things are great but disappear when things go badly.

Brooke Henderson was equally guilty of that move…nowhere to be found after round 2 but only to happy to answer all questions after round 3.

Men are just as bad.

I am definitely old school on that issue—you want to be front and center when things are rolling, you better be equally prepared to face the music when it isn’t so great.

Another product of the huge shift from accountability that is all the rage.

 

[AmericanCrow]

My apologies to Lexi as it appears she DID talk to the media today.

Absolutely, stand up high character quality act.

As for Brooke and the men in sports who are scarce when times are tough—this is how you handle it:

Lexi Thompson's U.S. Women's Open collapse puts her with Ben Hogan and Arnold Palmer

Lexi Thompson had a 54-hole lead at The Olympic Club, but a back-nine demise on the final day of the USWO puts her alongside noble company.

Was always going to happen in this day and age and when you have a PGA tour that is so cookie cutter and repetitive. All the courses are the same, and there is no emotional investment by players and fans in the “Race to the Fedex playoffs”. Its a joke.

The Lexi implosion was amazing to watch. She was fatting her short pitches so badly that by the 17th she was putting from what looked like 10m off the green.

Saso I think has the best full swing I've ever seen on a female golfer. Poetry in motion.

Otaegui three putts the last to give the title to Caldwell

The old Bryson fire ants try for a free drop gambit

These younger guys are shameless

Chesson imploding

Garrick Higgo is in an unbelievable streak of form. I don't think its unreasonable to suggest he's playing better golf than anyone in the world at the moment.
