Condensed Rd. 4 | 2024 CME Group Tour Championship

But this is going to slide a lot from left to right. This is not an easy putt. Look at this. Oh my goodness. Just kidding. What an interesting first three holes for Linnea Strom. Ho-hum even parred back to minus 5 with a ball well off the planet at one. This is a more attackable location. A little trap draw motion. Feeling that one. Yes, please. She was staring that one down. Right to the veins. Thank you. Appearing anxiously. Look at this shot. Go ahead, Charlie. Looks good now. Wait until you get up there and see the putt. And Gino Titicun trying to win for the fourth time. Right at it. Her third at the par 5 first, Morgan. Now wondering who would make the first move with Angel and Gino being tied. Coming into today, Gino is the one to strike first. She said her best guess as to why that distance gain happened coming back from injury, which seems backwards, was because she had so much pent up energy, which is such an angelism, if you will. Stinger sticking that wedge in the ground. Used to be such a popular spot for PGA Tour players, but they've since kind of dispersed across the country. Really good spot there. She should be putting straight back up the hill. And that is just a green light zone coming up for Angel on the putting green. This is just a moment ago, trying to get it up and down. Got a lot of spin on that golf ball. Great chance at a bounce back there. Ronnie delivers a dart. Got to have good hands to play this game. Left some injuries. Getting taped up. Wow, beautiful shot. Getting even better. And kept her out until a chevron. I was so impressed. Her first event out for months after that left thumb injury. She finished 12th. Here for her third and just about right there, it starts moving really fast downhill towards the hole. Really nice there. And a good leave. Had to get it to 16 under. Building on that momentum from yesterday. Brilliant 63. This to get it to 17 under. Hardest hole on the course for the week. Making it look easy. Now back at four, our leader. Kind of a rare one-handed finish. Oh, that really was flirting with some trouble. Yeah, third on two orange strokes. Back from 119. Beautiful. Got that to stop right on the number two. All right, full shot in for the third for Titicoune back at six. To get out of dodge. Almost trying to help. Yeah, I was going to say, use that back ridge. I think she was expecting it to come back. And it's trying. Is it as a backboard? This could be interesting. Could we get three at the top of the board if that eagle had fallen? Would have gotten Ronnie for the moment within two. Oh, wow. She was able to create a little bit of spin on the ball. So when it hit that downhill. Oh, wow. Gave it a really good run. It even needed to fall off the green. Her rhythm, her routine, shot after shot. Whether she's. Titicoune made bogey at the fourth, but the bounce back here at seven. Angels putted well, but so is Gino. The two of them have led the field in putting. Too bad if you can say you played with the president in the United States. I get up and down. And that is why. Opportunities to score coming into the clubhouse. Angel with the answer here at eight. It's starting to feel a little like match play. Five birdies, a seven hole stretch for Lydia Coe. Sensational season this year. Three wins, gold medal at the Olympics, got into the LBGA Hall of Fame, and finds another one, Morgan. $4 million to the winner in that final group. Gino Titicoune, the 21 year old from Thailand. This on the way here at the 9th. Back to the green at the 9th and Tom. This is running in up the hill. Karen stuff was out there watching. I think we're in for a few fireworks today, Tom. Really a great position to leave yourself for this part. This part did so well this week. And that's just going to be a part at the 9th. Which is playing is one of the tougher holes on the golf course today. Don't see a huge amount in this one, Tom. Yep, it's very simple. Four shots back. She really can't afford to make any mistakes. She has left herself a long way back for a second shot. One of the reasons why she she missed the green left but right little up and down there for her second shot for Lydia and she really just has to put her foot down here. Now you know that 109 left, but the stance difficult to the coon. It really was. Ball was well below her feet, but she's played this one quite well. I think all things considered and surprised that stopped as quickly as it did. That number one prize. Got to get it going. Roaming in in that final group on the way here at 10. Also, another play that could do with making something happen quickly. Just a little wedge there for Ronnie. Great angle for Angel with her tee shot being down on that side. Opens up that right hole location nicely. Could try it for Lydia code to make another birdie trying to close that gap. This is important. It just doesn't drop so it is going to stay three behind. There's no need to comment. I mean, that's everybody expected it. It's just true perfection any. It is a little bit downhill as well. Yeah, good effort. Matching the pace in line difficult there. Perfect can lead to some of those tentative parts. But that was a great second part there for her. This is a food away battle to win the Bear Trophy which is the scoring average on the LPGA Tour. There's one point towards the LPGA Hall of Fame for winning the Bear Trophy. Ability to to get spin. I mean, even though that flags on that back, right? I think you can go at it. Beautifully balanced finish. Looks like she likes it. Oh, it's right in her range. This part is going to be quite fast, Tom. You saw her ball try and kick to the right a little bit. It's going to continue down that slope. All five footers for par. She's been up to the challenge. She's going to continue to do that battling with Angel Yin says now and on at 13th. She's been really solid this week. Impressed with what I've seen from her game. Oh, there's another example. What a shot that was. She hasn't made a bogey since the front nine on Friday. She's got a lot of firepower. Definitely strength wise, but also consistency. Talk to her coach. A lot of it has to do with the swing plane. It's just so neutral. Found that little something that you need. Yeah, she was leading the field leading the tour last year. You have got to be kidding me. There is a tear about 5 paces short of this hole. She needs to carry 139 to cover that. She had a good angle coming into this back left hole location. Oh, watch out, watch out Lydia. What a shot. So that is going to be a tap in birdie. Love that tempo. Love that result. How about the number one player in the world who has had one of the great seasons that we have seen in a long time? I'm kind of already semi pencil in a birdie for her here from this distance with the way she's passing. She's going to hit that slope at the back and. Lovely control with that follow through little 3 quarter controlled wedge 13. Take a good second. And that was from 65 yards, but a great angle can see everything on the green knows exactly what she has to do, and she really didn't need that backspin Tom. And this one's downhill. Tom's going to break to the left. Quite a slippery putt. Gotta be careful with this one. Trying to put some pressure on Angel yet and she's done it. Oh yes, so that gets her to 18 under par. Stayed there wow. Well, her coach said Joe, if you don't make the putt you misread it. You know putting that well, the only thing that's going to stop the ball going in is just a misread, and that's kind of what happened there. But as you say, Morgan, that's it. That's an important moment in the round. Oh, so eight under for the day. 16 under overall got a par five next. She does own the course record 18 hole course record here. 62 back in 2016. That's the first mistake all day right there. Second show for Nelly quarter just come off the birdie at 14. Three further birdies in a round, so she's four under par for the day. Yeah. She's gonna start giving herself a great chance for another one. Nelly quarter for the birdie. Two in a row for Nelly gets her to 14 under. Pretty good lay up to leave herself 88 yards and great angle to this flank which is really tight in the front edge. Very similar controlled little swing that we saw from her on 13. Did it go third at the par five? Quite a tough number. Only 54 yards. I mean that was really close to the green. Brooke Anderson did make a birdie here group ahead. I know she's got good memories here with this shot, especially last year at the Grant Thornton. That one's going to be a little tricky putt up and over a slight ridge. This one's uphill, not a bad spot to pop from. Finally she gets water drop. Down through the ball. I'd probably want to know. Depends on the player, I guess. Yeah, not every player would want to know. Cup chose second at 17 on the way. But that's soft bounce. That is terrific. Cup Joe, what a shot. It's going to be a tap in Eagle for Jennifer Cup Joe is going to take her to 13 under par get her inside the top 10 back to 17. Lydia Coe for the birdie. They're good to pop birdie in the end, so that's 17 under par trying to set that target in the clubhouse. As we bring it to a conclusion, did it good second shot? And that was from 142. Didn't get any idea in a club, 9 on for her is what I would think. Safe play out to the right as well. She's just been ever so slightly under the plane. Her miss has been slightly right for the last handful of holes, 6 inches and get the stage to yourself, but she gets out of the way as Hannah Green tries to close at 10 under. And will. I feel like she was just waiting for one of those moments. She missed some putts at the end that would have gotten her chipping into an upslope. Should be a part for Angel. It's each whole ticks away. Tom, you can really feel the intensity increasing out here. Oh my word. I know there's a lot of steak, but she's just been so solid. As a major champion speaking, Karen stuffles. Knows how to make those under pressure and. Whole location you'd rather come into with a little bit of a draw. She certainly likes to hit pretty big left to right moving shot. OK, I just released up the green and she'll have a part for an eagle to get to 16 under par. No, it's downhill parts always good. She know that you should be able to get the ball to the hole. And yet again. Running can make a little inroads here onto her own score. So she can be free with this one. There you go. The challenge the 21 under. Brilliant and a season to match one of the great seasons we've seen a long time. Yanni San back in 2011. We just like the author right? Imagine is to be about the same club for our much lower ball flight than Roenings needs a bit of drawing carry. It's there have the best sound to it. It didn't sound like she hit that solidly, but what a result. I'm excited for what's ahead and I'm not done yet. You know, I'm playing the Grand Fountain Invitational with Jason Day in a couple weeks, so I'm excited to officially ended on a high there. But so far it's been an unbelievable year and to be back here at the same interchampionship it's it's been a year to remember for sure. And that's lucky that there is an upslope there. I think she was more worried about hitting the face. With her club. It sounded like she didn't really maybe trust that it would come out. It's in moments like this when you're standing around waiting for your turn, that that thoughts can creep in. It just moved in there at the last moment. Thought it was going to miss right like she just watched running in do, but that is a huge part at just the right time in this part of the fairway. The best, but this is a pretty pure strike. Best ball strikers on tour. No, you can tell she liked it from the start. What a time to pull off that shot. See how she responds here. A couple deep breaths there before going into the shot. Yep, very good. The largest prize in women's golf goes to Geno Kidikun in dramatic fashion. Finish Terry two days in a row. Eagle birdie finish in the last two holes, but to do it for $4,000,000 today.
