Presidents Cup captain’s pick snubs: The biggest surprises on both sides 

The Presidents Cup captain’s picks have been announced, and there were some notable snubs on both sides.

For the United States, the biggest surprise was the omission of Patrick Cantlay. Cantlay is ranked No. 4 in the world and has been one of the most consistent players on the PGA Tour over the past few years. He was a member of the 2019 Presidents Cup team and played well, going 2-1-1.

Another surprising snub for the United States was Daniel Berger. Berger is ranked No. 12 in the world and has won two PGA Tour events this season. He was also a member of the 2019 Presidents Cup team.

For the International team, the biggest surprise was the omission of Matt Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick is ranked No. 15 in the world and has been one of the most consistent players on the DP World Tour over the past few years. He was a member of the 2019 Presidents Cup team and played well, going 2-1-1.

Winner’s bag: Lydia Ko’s gear at the 2024 AIG Women’s Open

Lydia Ko’s victory at the 2024 AIG Women’s Open was a testament to her skill and dedication. But it was also a showcase for her impressive equipment.

Ko’s driver was a Ping G430 LST, which she used to average 272 yards off the tee. Her irons were Ping i525s, with a 5-wood, 3-hybrid, and 4-hybrid.

For her short game, Ko relied on Ping Glide 4.0 wedges and a Ping Sigma 2 Tyne 4 putter.

Ko’s equipment played a key role in her victory at the AIG Women’s Open. Her driver gave her the distance she needed to hit the par-5s in two, and her irons provided her with the accuracy she needed to hit the greens in regulation. Her wedges and putter helped her to get up and down from difficult positions, and to make crucial putts when she needed them.

Ko’s equipment is a testament to her commitment to excellence. She knows that having the right equipment can make all the difference in a tournament, and she is willing to invest in the best gear available.

Nelly Korda’s tough day, Jiyai Shin’s charge, who will win? | St. Andrews Day 3

Day three of the AIG Women’s Open was a tale of two golfers—Nelly Korda and Jiyai Shin. Korda, the overnight leader, struggled with her game, shooting a four-over-par 76 to drop down the leaderboard. Meanwhile, Shin carded a brilliant five-under-par 67 to climb into contention. With just one round remaining, Shin holds a one-stroke lead over Hinako Shibuno and two strokes over Korda. Will Shin hold on to win her first major championship since 2012? Or will Korda or Shibuno make a late charge?

This caused play to back up and be described as “a bit of a slog,” according to England’s Georgia Hall. The six-hour rounds have added extra pressure onto the players and have raised concerns over player welfare.
