Consolation match:

Minjee Lee won the Cognizant Founders Cup by 2-shots over Lexi Thompson, finishing at 19-under after a final round of two-under par 70. This is the seventh LPGA tour win for Lee, and her first of the 2022 season despite leading the tour in scoring for the season.

With a one-shot lead on the final hole, Lee stuck her approach to near tap-in range to seal the tournament.

Marina Alex started the day 3-shots off the lead, but made six birdies to shoot a 5-under 66 and win the Palos Verdes Championship by a shot over Jin Young Ko (who also shot a final-round 66). Alex finished at 10-under.

Alex finished a few groups ahead of the final group of Lydia Ko and Hannah Green, who finished tied for third and fifth respectively, and the broadcast cut to her waiting outside of the clubhouse for final groups to finish up. During one of their cuts to Alex, they caught her telling someone “I had to go to the bathroom the last two holes”.

During the final round, Lydia Ko required some physical therapy treatment a couple of times to stretch out some issue she was having. After the round, Golf Channel’s Jerry Foltz asked Lydia why she needed the treatment and the answer left him speechless.

Lydia Ko explaining that her mid-round physical therapy was because it’s “that time of the month.”

Nasa Hataoka won the DIO Implant LA Open in a runaway, winning by 5-shots over Hannah Green. It seemed like Hataoka hit the dead center of every fairway and the win is her sixth on the LPGA Tour. During the telecast the announcers said she was working on turning her body more in her swing, and that swing thought was definitely working.

She also made a lot of putts, and this eagle putt on the 15th pretty much finished the tournament on the 15th:

In the LPGA Golf Pool, Steve Schankula and Derek Lindeman each scored 38 points, to be the top point-earners for the week.

Here is an example of a player reacting like they think the putt is not going in. Inbee Park no doubt thinks the putt is missing to the right… :

Did she know it was going in? 🤔

Celine Boutier also tried to hit a super flop shot from the rough, only to have her club go under the ball. I am looking for video of it and will post if I ever find it.

Here are the final round highlights from LPGA.com:

Hyo Joo Kim won the LOTTE Championship by two-shots over Hinako Shibuno.  This was Kim’s fifth LPGA Tour win. Kim bogeyed the 17th, allowing Shibuno to get within one-shot of the lead, but then birdied the final hole to seal the win.

"The shot of a champion."

It seemed like there was always a steady wind, and during the coverage, the broadcast crew discussed Shibuno’s approach to playing in the wind:

Does Hinako Shibuno like playing in the wind? No.

Jennifer Kupcho got her first LPGA Tour win and first major, capturing the Chevron Championship by 2-shots over Jessica Korda. Kupcho finished at 14-under after a final-round +2 (74), but started the final round with a 6-shot lead and no one got closer than two shots.

When her lead was cut to two after a couple of shaky holes, that’s when Kupcho responded with this:

Back on track 🎯@jenniferkupcho knocks one close on the 15th.

This was the last time the Chevron Championship (formerly the Dinah Shore Classic, the Nabisco Championship, the Kraft Nabisco Championship, and ANA Inspiration) will be held at the Mission Hills Club in Rancho Mirage California, and the last time the winner will get take a celebration leap into Poppie’s Pond, in my opinion the best victory celebration in sports.

The Last Leap.

Here are highlights from LPGA’s Youtube page:

Atthaya Thitikul won the JTBC Classic  after a two-hole playoff with Nanna Koerstz Madsen. Thitikul shot a final-round 8-under par, and then had to wait over an hour to see if it would be enough to force a playoff.  Madsen three-putted the final hole of regulation to fall back into a tie with Thitikul, who won with a bogey on the second playoff hole. They had finished at 16-under par for the tournament.

This was Thitikul’s first win on the LPGA, she is a rookie on the tour and is only 19 years old.

Here is the putt that Thitikul made on the 72nd hole, which turned out to be needed for force the playoff:
