She's done it forever, and as bad as a putter as she is I have no idea why she hasn't gone away from it. It really can't get any worse under pressure. I mean, she strikes the crap out of the ball but struggles so mightily from under 10 feet.

Tourcast is showing some video. She absolutely striped one on #4.

I’m pretty sure this is the ever I have ever seen her putt.

It's a tournament in the fall that gets no FedEx points (I believe). They need to drum up some sort of attention for the event.
I had no idea the field was this bad. I have heard of List and Champ, but none of the rest. Good call to give her the exemption.

I know I watch too much golf when I know every single player in the top 41 other than this Tim Widing guy. No offense to him or his family

I watch a fair amount of the LPGA. Watching her in majors coming down the stretch is so hard to watch. The putting gets worse and worse the more pressure is on. Today was a good putting day for her overall but she truly hit some egregious putts still.

Lexi +1 thru 16.

Should have picked Nelly Korda.

I realize it's a popularity contest, but I will say Korda's legs are as good as Lexi's.

I watch some big LPGA events, not a full 4 rounds, but parts if they're is nothing else on or during a commercial break. Otherwise I'm probably outside doing something more fun. LPGA is not that fun to watch.

Whoa whoa whoa! I'm a big Nelli fan, but this is just wrong. There's something off about the poor girl's legs. Lexi has model legs.

She has putted better than I have ever seen her. She has zero three putts and made multiple outside 5 feet. For her that’s legendary

I have nothing to add here other than I met Lexi at the Masters Tuesday practice round this year. Can confirm her legs are phenomenal and that she's tall. She was walking between the 9th and 18th fairways next to me and I did a double take when I saw her. She was gracious enough to take a few pics with us. And no, I'm not posting them.

Was very disappointed in her wardrobe yesterday.

Where can I get this? Seems like a stretch she breaks 80 with how the course is playing today.

Afternoon session yesterday played over 2 strokes easier than the morning session….

But regardless, she played far batter than I ever expected her to based off her current season

if she three putted I missed it. She made 4 putts from 6-9 feet

She was only -0.19 on strokes gained putting. For her that’s remarkable. If she did that consistently she would win all the time on the LPGA

She’s inside the cut line with 8 to play.

Pretty dang impressive so far.
