Only a small portion of the pictures moved to social media earlier this week – not almost enough of a sample size to understand the entirety of what Lpga The players were facing Shanghai.
But then the tournament began, the transmission cameras were lit, the cut and sent coils to the world emphasize. Indeed, the greed Garden Golf Club greens are in the Kizhong Garden Garden Golf Club. Probably the toughest you’ve seen in your time looking at Golf this year.
The LPGA itself issued this statement:
We are aware of the course conditions in Buic Lpga Shanghai. Golf course supervisor, tour team and LPGA rules officials have worked diligently against extreme heat conditions this season in preparation for this week’s event. We will continue to monitor the situation and take care of the course properly throughout the week.
They are eligible for extreme heat conditions. Typical high temperatures in Shanghai in September swim between 80 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. But this year, from the last week of August to the first week of October, Shanghai saw 23 days with a high of at least 95 degrees.
What that heat has made in the green is not completely clear from 6,000 miles away, but the visual images were not excellent from the first round of the event on Thursday. Some areas are clearly dried and others show uneven surfaces. Some greens are so destroyed that it will seem difficult to find a place to cut the hole.
This is the second time in the last month the LPGA has fought damage by mother Nature. In September, the Walmart champion at Arkansas was cut from 54 holes to only 18 – leading to its cancellation – After heavy thunderstorms made the course unbearable.
The form of this week’s greens did not completely prevent the score, as 57 players still shot under the money. Of a small proportion of senior performers conducting press conferences after the round, no one was asked to talk about the green, though Minjee lee Did it refer to them.
“I feel like the way the greens are, the situation, I think I have achieved very well, to do, what, seven birds,” she said.
Lee was coming a positive rotation in things through 18 holes. One of her poultry footage that did not fall was this, from just nine feet, which she left a short leg.
