Agree re. Charlie Chilli.Chilli D wrote: Thu Jul 30, 2026 6:16 am She did indeed win it at Lytham & St Anne's in 2018. The last British winner of a major in the women's game. She'll do well to make the cut this time tbh after giving birth in February. She was +14 at the Scottish Open last week.
Hopefully Lottie Woad will be in contention, not so sure about Charley Hull, she's been poor lately and missed the cut at the last major.
The women's game is almost completely dominated by the far East these days, particularly South Korea and Japan.
She doesn't seem to have good course management - she takes too many risks imo and tries to overpower all the courses she plays and gets herself in trouble as a result.
The Korean and other Asian players are so dedicated.
A few years ago we were spending a couple of winter months in Temecula, California. One of the courses were were playing had a whole contingent of Korean girls over on a training camp. The starter was telling me those girls were on the range at 6am, would play a round of golf, then go back to the practice facilities until dark. They did that day in and day out for a month. I have to add that they were all very polite and respectful to the green fee players - no "I'm a pro...." attitude - and man could they play!!
I'll be rooting for Lottie. Be wonderful if she could win this.
