You can be forgiven if you didn't realize the ladies are still playing golf -- the ladies on the LET, that is. Their final tournament of 2014, the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters, isn't being shown live although GC is at least showing a couple of hours from 10:30am-12:30pm ET this week. (Note that this tournament is played Wednesday through Saturday. Today's round is the third round.)
Cheyenne Woods, sparkling off getting her LPGA Tour card at Q-School, zipped out to Dubai to make her first appearance within the occasion. (She's had an LET card at some point of 2014, you'll do not forget.) And as a part of her time there, she celebrated the tenth anniversary of Tiger's famous shots from the helipad on top of the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, the large luxurious motel in Dubai.
Of course, she's now not simply there to shoot pics. She's presently T6 (-5) inside the event, 6 shots off the -eleven lead of Shanshan Feng. She's simply 2 photographs in the back of second region Charley Hull (-7), so she's clearly in pretty accurate function to make a charge with more than one proper rounds.
I have to note that Hull would be at -9 had she now not doubled the par-five 18th. Her approach spun backpedal the inexperienced and into the lake fronting it. Even if you haven't seen the women's occasion, you are likely familiar with the route; it is the equal one played by using the ET at some point of the Omega Dubai Desert Classic in February. This is a route wherein heroics are frequently vital to win; remaining yr, Pornanong Phatlum hit her wedge to two ft for an clean birdie and her biggest LET win. So don't be amazed if we see greater drama at the 18th this week.
The 1/3 round is simply getting underway as I'm writing this, and the leaderboard is crowded. Only sixty six players made the reduce -- it really is proper, the LET's championship has a cut! -- and there was a 6-way playoff for 1 spot. It ought to be a pretty properly finish. Charley Hull leads the LET money listing and Gwladys Nocera, who's 2d at the cash listing, is just a shot returned.
Remember, the tape delay airs at 10:30am ET on GC.
