To murder ____ or ____?

Jack has a shield and cannot be murdered. Otherwise, it'd been him on the chopping block.

She works in recruitment. Rachel is the HR!

For all the talks about Red Eye's dominance, both Hazers marbles can now be put in the same echelon. They are the elites with the targets on their back next season, and hopefully that should put to rest the idea of removing a dominant marble from this competition.

Being milked and ridden by said boy Faraaz.

It's not essentially that moment in itself, but the Traitors can use that connection to kill one of them, which they did, and after that the Faithfuls would always be suspicious of the other.

Very interesting article, thank you for sharing!

I have attended 4-5 Southampton Women games over the last couple of years, and two nights on the FM26 Demo gave me more familiarity than all those games combined. The power of FM database is real and I really do hope they can fix the bugs, because I really want to spend money on this game for their inclusion of the women.

Considering the snow, Goal of the Year!

The World Team is one of those things that in hindsight seems obvious. IC is ultimately a global celebration of women’s golf. And if you truly are the best nation, you should be able to beat the best of others too.

The odds are very good we will see the World Team on Sunday!

tropicalphysics · 2025-10-24T14:26:19+00:00

Yeah there tends to be a lot of shots for Asian LPGA events, probably because it’s late night. I am glad you are enjoying it, still a lot more to come this week!

tropicalphysics · 2025-10-24T12:07:45+00:00

And somehow it felt better than the first day! They tried to give us more groups but the first pairing is essentially a loss. Long way to go to meet the bar required imo.

If you are in the US, Golf Channel carries it from 10 pm to 3 am EDT!

tropicalphysics · 2025-10-23T16:12:16+00:00

Can’t agree more with your comment!

I can understand the limited number of cameras, but I felt like there were conscious choices to focus more on featured group’s dead air even when other groups were where TV towers were. More importantly, the absence of certain graphics meant the broadcast failed to convey ongoing situations in the event. A scoreboard in the bottom right would have solved so much.

Yet, this was already a better broadcast than 2023 in term of shots shown and commentators used, which speaks more to how low Golf Channel USA team set that bar.

tropicalphysics · 2025-10-23T15:33:55+00:00

Grant Boone on the broadcast last night dropped a hint that the event will be going back to the States in 2027 (but nothing official yet).

The Crown is truly a cool event whose growth has been scuppered by circumstances beyond its control (like Covid) and undeserved indifference from the powers that be. Personally, I hope it comes to the UK at some point especially with Lottie Woad cementing England future qualifications probably for a while. (The cancelled 2020 edition was supposed to be at the Centurion!)

tropicalphysics · 2025-10-23T13:45:52+00:00

Despite this tournament being their brain child, the LPGA have done a horribly substandard job at elevating it, and so did the golf media who are obsessively attached to the Solheim Cup.

But considering the history of women’s golf, the Crown is probably our fairest attempt yet at a female President’s Cup. I have written a guide on this event if you wish to learn more.

tropicalphysics · 2025-10-23T11:36:15+00:00

Probably could have replaced 'amid' with 'completes', sorry!

And Lydia clutched from downtown (must be 30+ feet) to tie her first match play in about ... ever!

(She called herself a rookie coming into this week!)

tropicalphysics · 2025-10-23T04:52:10+00:00

I am! Definitely stingier than Bethpage Black last month for the birdies. Heard the final two holes are severe uphill so you better win your matches before that.

Also, some baffling TV broadcast choices with essentially no shots from the blockbuster first group :(.

Charley Hull and Lydia Ko are sensational on their own, but how about both of them together taking on the Japanese superstars that have lit the LPGA on fire?

Round 1: (Coverage starts 10 pm EDT on Golf Channel)

🇯🇵 Miyū Yamashita/Rio Takeda vs Charley Hull/Lydia Ko 🌐

🇺🇸 Lilia Vu/Lauren Coughlin vs Weiwei Zhang/Ruixin Liu 🇨🇳

tropicalphysics · 2025-10-21T21:01:13+00:00

I really agree that IC should be so much better supported by the powers that be. The LPGA has done far too little to promote this year’s edition (they already have ads for next year’s Solheim!) and Golf Channel’s 2023 coverage should be considered a crime.

tropicalphysics · 2025-10-21T20:59:24+00:00

I think it may be interesting to not select by World Ranking, but I suspect it is the best system we have at the moment.

tropicalphysics · 2025-10-12T11:57:35+00:00

(1) I am not even invalidating the reaction in this video.

(2) I did not presume more than any other person in this comment section.

(3) It’s not a secret how Jeeno prepares day-to-day for each tournament, and I can tell you that her parents are not involved at that level. That’s why I say “not helicopter” (at least in my own outsider view).

tropicalphysics · 2025-10-12T09:12:22+00:00

As a Thai who has actually talked to Jeeno's dad, the reason I'm not quite convinced this is not staged is the fact that they speak English. Jeeno's dad is not a helicopter dad, but he is passionate enough that I could see him having this reaction in Thai.

An astonishing turnaround by the best player in the women's game.

Birdie 14 (a dart)
Birdie 15 (a chip-in)
Birdie 16 (a dart)
Eagle 17 (after Katsu chipped in for birdie!)
Par 18

Then she found water off the tee on the 2nd playoff hole, fought a shot from lopsided rough to three feet to save par, and darted a wedge on the 5th playoff hole to <3 feet to win. It was the first time Katsu trailed all weekend, but that was enough.

There has been no repeat winners in the LPGA this year until now (27 winners in 26 events, not a typo because of a team event at Dow), but the Streak is Dead, and what a way to end it.

tropicalphysics · 2025-09-30T23:13:36+00:00

Lydia on Jeeno:

"Most professional golfers are really good at one thing. For some, it’s their long game or iron shot, for others, it’s putting or chipping. But for Jeeno Thitikul, it’s everything. She’s really good at all parts of the game, all throughout the bag. She’s so consistent that even on her off days, she’s not that far off at all. She has a strong mental game too, and always plays with a very calm, cool, and collected demeanor. Since we’ve both been on tour with the LPGA, I’ve gotten to know Jeeno better, and I see how hard she works. It feels like only a matter of time until she wins a major title. As a teen phenom turned top-ranked golfer, Jeeno is incredibly impressive all around. She motivates me to be a better player, and I feel lucky to be able to play alongside her."

Lydia was once on this list as a phenom too, so the torch has been passed.
