Nasa Hataoka Got Disqualified at LPGA Tour Event

In an unusual turn of events, Nasa Hataoka was disqualified after the first round of the ShopRite LPGA Classic due to a timing issue with locating her lost ball, underscoring the stringent nature of the Rules of Golf. Hataoka, a prominent figure on the LPGA Tour, started her first round on the back nine and was performing admirably. However, on her final hole, the ninth, she hit her second shot into the long fescue surrounding the green. Despite her efforts, and those of her caddie, to locate the ball, it was eventually found outside the three-minute search limit imposed by Rule 18.2a.

LPGA Tour has released a statement regarding the disqualification of Nasa Hataoka

In an official statement, the LPGA Tour clarified: “During the first round of the LPGA Shoprite Classic, Nasa Hataoka played her second shot on No. 9 into the long fescue surrounding the green, her last hole of the day. After reviewing video footage provided to the LPGA following the round, it was determined that the search for Nasa’s ball lasted longer than the three minutes allowed under Rule 18.2a. After three minutes of search, the ball is considered lost, and the player must proceed under stroke and distance (Rule 18.2b).”

Hataoka’s situation became even more complicated when she played from the wrong place after the ball was found. The rules specify that if a player does not play from the correct spot, they are in breach of Rule 14.7. Since Hataoka played from a position that could potentially offer a significant advantage compared to where she should have played from, this was considered a serious breach, resulting in disqualification as it was not corrected in time.

Had her score stood, Hataoka would have signed for a six-under-par round of 65, placing her four strokes behind the leader, Arpichaya Yubol, who nearly broke the 60-barrier with an impressive 10-under round of 61.

DP World Tour: Scandinavian Mixed – How Does it Work?

The Scandinavian Mixed is now an established fixture on the DP World Tour calendar. Men and women play a tournament together at Vasatorps Golfklubb in Helsingborg, Sweden. But how does the format work?

How the Scandinavian Mixed 2024 works:

DP World Tour: Men and women compete for one trophy

For many, the term mixed event probably immediately conjures up the idea of some kind of team event, where a male and female player form teams of two and compete against each other in the familiar formats. But don’t worry, you don’t have to get out the rule book and look up the exact difference between foursomes and fourballs.

The mixed event in Sweden is characterised by the simplicity of the format, a classic golf tournament.

156 participants, 78 women, 78 men and after four rounds there is one winner. There will be mixed flights on the first two days, with the ladies playing from the ladies’ tee and the men from the men’s tee. As usual, a cut will be made after two rounds and only the best 65 (and shared) players will progress to the final round. There, the groups will be shuffled again and over the weekend, the participants will compete for a total prize money of 2 million dollars as well as points for the respective world ranking, the Ryder Cup and the Solheim Cup.

Scandinavian Mixed 2024: The field

Swedish golf fans can expect a great number of scandinavian golfers to participate in the event. Many eyes will follow the flight made up completely of swedish golfers, with former tournament winner Linn Grant, Solheim Cup player Madelene Sagstrom and Jesper Svensson, who recently won the Porsche Singapore Classic.

LPGA Tour: Nelly Korda With a Disastrous Start – Ten On Par 3

In the world of golf, even the best can have days where nothing goes right. Nelly Korda, a dominant force with six victories in her last seven tournaments, experienced such a day during the opening round of the US Women’s Open at Lancaster Country Club. The golf course, known for its challenging layout, claimed an unlikely victim in Korda, who ended her day with a score of 80, twelve shots behind the leader.

Early Trouble for Nelly Korda

The trouble began early for Nelly Korda. By the time she reached the par-3 12th hole, her day had already taken a turn for the worse. A 25-minute wait on the tee didn’t help her rhythm, as she watched players ahead struggle with the hole. Despite her usual confidence, Korda made a interesting club choice, opting for a 6-iron instead of a 7-iron. Her ball took a hard hop into a back bunker, setting off a disastrous sequence. Attempting to escape from the bunker, Korda’s shot came out hot, rolling past the pin, off the false front, and into the penalty area. What followed was a painful series of shots as she struggled to get her ball back onto the green. Each attempt seemed to make matters worse, culminating in a septuple-bogey 10. The frustration was palpable as Korda walked off the green, her score now at +8.

“Making a 10 on a par 3 will definitely not do you any good at a US Open,” Korda remarked, reflecting on her tumultuous start. “Just a bad day in the office.” Despite the rough beginning, Korda’s resilience shone through as she continued to fight her way through the course. However, the golf gods were not in her favor. Missed putts and difficult lies continued to plague her round. Her first birdie didn’t come until her 12th hole. “I’m human,” she said. “I’m going to have bad days. I played some really solid golf up to this point. Today was just a bad day. That’s all I can say.”

Difficult Course at the US Womens Open

The US Women’s Open at Lancaster Country Club proved to be an unexpectedly grueling challenge for the players. The difficult conditions, highlighted by strong winds and tricky course design, left many of the sport’s top athletes struggling to maintain their composure and their scores. By day’s end, the scoring average had soared to over five above par and the number of bogeys-or-worse had more than tripled the number of birdies.

The 12th hole, a deceptively difficult par-3, was the worst offender. Playing at just 161 yards, the hole was further complicated by a frontward slope and a false front leading to a creek. Only 52 percent of the field managed to hit the green in regulation on Thursday and in total 52 golfballs landed in the pond in front of the green. The strong winds forced players to choose between hitting a longer club, risking the back bunker, or using a shorter club and potentially ending up in the water. This led to significant delays, with backups of up to 30 minutes. Only ten players managed to make birdie on this hole. 32 players carded a bogey and 13 players even had to record a double bogey or higher
