Ju loo the Malaysian Capital that Towers above many bustling and beautiful at the same time and the LPGA Tour returns to this thriving metropolis a city that knows golf with the highest level back on the Asian swing in a big way through the strength of mayank
There’s $3 million on the line who can harness the C power and resilience required to conquer the challenge ahead 15 of world’s top 20 have gathered at quo golf and country club in a high stakes meeting of major winners and rising stars on Championship Sunday 12-time
Winner SE young Kim will be striving to break the threeyear drought Jasmine sanura set the standard for others to follow in the first two rounds her biggest moment moment may be still to come ATA tiun fired a blistering 62 In the Heat of round three her eyes a firmly on the
Prize but it’s 20-year-old American sensation R Zang who was poised to put her name up in lights for the second time in her rookie season the Tiger has emerged revered and cherished waiting to be held a loft once more in Malaysia welcome to the final round for the 2023 a bank
Championship oh it’s been a wonderful week of golf with this qu olympo Golf and Country Club West CO one of the real stars of the show but today it gives way to some of the biggest names in the women’s game and we are set for a Sunday Showdown to remember hi everybody Warren
Smith along with Tris Johnson to bring you the final round of the May Bank championship and Trish the top three have separated themselves from the packs somewhat uh Rose Zang a tire titun and Jasmine sanura is it a raceing three it’s hard to see anybody else getting involved if
Someone gets off to an absolute flyer there’s no question but they’re going to have to shoot I think 62 63 to get involved it’s the caliber of the top three players and the way they’re playing at the moment you have to think one of those players is going to shoot
Four five under so really kind of doesn’t give the others much of a chance this is only the 12th professional tournament for our leader Rose Zang she’s already won of course at her first attempt after a Stella amate career um it’s hard not to be impressed what the
20-year-old American has done again here this week yeah and also coming out and winning her first professional event ever on the LPG I can’t tell you how ludicrous that really is it’s such an achievement um she’s such a strong player mentally I actually think there’s
So much more to come from her she’s only a young kid game-wise you know she’s got a lot more length to have uh in her game she’s going to develop her golf game so much but one thing you can’t teach is that brain and she is she’s got such an
Old head on young shoulders fantastic 65 from her yesterday let’s see how she took the lead in now round three Recap and we begin with SE young Kim who has gotten better as the tournament has gone on a 69 in round one 67 in round two a 65 yesterday including that at the 12 and this was Jasmine sanura at the 12 just the most difficult hole on the golf course this week off a down slope in the rough and making it look pretty simple with a top quality shot TI Ty Superstar this was her second shot into 17 on her way to firing
62 and our leader by one at the end of three rounds Rose just short of the 18th R pitching up very nicely there to close range you would make that for another birding at the closing hole to have that one one shot advantage that’s how they got there to this point of the
Tournament Zang by one from tiun and Jasmine are want to p a tied for second Sayan Kim came with a fast finish yesterday put herself right there in the hunt along with NASA hadoka Megan King P Yun Chen as well J dber who’ll be defending her Japanese title last week
At the Toto event she’s in good form leading into that tournament and not without a chance here today as well Seline bouier she was very much in the Reckoning in round two and lyia Co there in the top 10 a good finish last week in
Korea also let’s go on course and take a look at our feature group Rose Zang you and Porter joining us in commentary and well it’ll be fabulous to see if she can get the job done today yeah absolutely what a Stell start to her professional
Career that she has had a Ty tit and 11 top 10 already this year more than any other player Jasmine sanura looking for for her third LPGA to a victory here we are on the third the uphill par five her Third and the wedge game yesterday was Sensational and this to get things going today what a shot from our leader yeah what a stunner that was third hle today is uh it’s not playing that long actually TT cor is the second player to go it’s around about 80 yard but she’s
Bringing it over the corner of this bunker needs to land it right at the flag now I don’t know what happened there but that was a very ordinary shot took a lot of turf with it just hit it heavy great to have Sandy McKenzie on course with us once again here for the
Final round in these hot and steamy conditions in qu lumo and just a taing for rosang ton here out the right hand side uh Sandy um not the uh required angle ordinarily well it’s not really but she’s had two big hits up here this is her third shot little bit awkward she
Needs to land this on the green and just let it release out but I think she’s going to get Rose to race up and Mark her ball I thought it’d be quite helpful if it was there well it would be but uh in protecting the field it might be best
To mark that one and just make sure that uh there’s no uh situation where that could influence play and forget about marking it just walk up and tap it in from barely 6 in away what great birdie isn’t it for brang all three of these players
Starting with pars on holes one and two so temporarily out to a two-stroke lead now ball is below or above her feet I should say so slightly awkward needs to land this on and try and get it just to release to the flag it’s a pass Mark I think what was remarkable
Yesterday with tiin’s round of 10 underp was the fact that she pared three of the four par FES not really taking full advantage when the rest of the field has we mentioned liia Co a moment ago pushing her way up into the top 10 13 under third here at 5 coming over the
Water second of the power FES here B today tou in the back right corner lovely shot by Lydia fourth hole the PA three hatoko birdie putt across the green not a close one she’s given it plenty she got enough ouch what a lovely effort that was just didn’t straighten up right at the
End now Jon want a p up after that poor third plays a PO fourth she’s got a great short game but for that shot that was way too much loft needed to get it on the ground quicker we talking yesterday about her chipping approach TR very compact short
Takeaway not a flowing sort of rhythmic swing it’s very much an Abrupt motion through the ball yeah yeah very much so my fourth hle San Kim down the hole down the green left to right quickish putt if there is such a thing on this course started with a double bogey too say
Young Kim So needs to write the ship three pass since then here is Nelly quter up the power five fifth getting better as the week goes on it’s all American backto back birdies to get to- 30 see oh so w pora is in a lot of trouble here very uncharacteristic ordinary
Shots the first one for only 80 yards came up Shy of the green and then played another poor little pitch didn’t allow it to be able to land and run out so this is for par and remember she made a bogey here on Friday as well on 3 four and five statistically
The three easiest holes on the golf course this week almost feel as though Ro tapping in there mental Advantage getting a shot ahead straight away clever little toy this needs to go in yeah good go really important part that one you can’t be dropping a shot when you got 80 yards in
Let’s go back to Lydia Co at the fifth great approach in from about 90 yds and she makes it to make three birdies on the Trot slip up there at the second he’s got it going in the right direction in a hurry is only five back with lots of holes to
Play any break in this Sandy very little maybe a little bit from the right Edge got to be a bit careful it does go a little bit downhill oh slides on the bottom side didn’t miss too many of those yesterday did she but again unable to
Take advantage of a par five and that means Rose Zang two-stroke lead yeah that’s a remarkable stat as you said yesterday not buing the par five she’s a long player she gives her a real Tonk off the te she can reach get pretty close to nearly all these par fs
And it’s not quite any birdies Wow Let’s Take a look and see what’s happened earlier today with the players out 10 minutes early scheduled with the thread of weather later on so nearly a start time for everybody P Chen here at the first put in under it this stage a way
To get one shot better at chip at one this was NASA hatok at the first down the hill right to left birdie attempt did she have enough on it she certainly did Seline boutier number one in the race to CME Globe it’s a third shot the
Par five third a great finish to a round yesterday to get on the fringes of contention and that’s another terrific shot we move to 14 under par now de dry BR for birdie here at the third which is reachable for many more in the field today and that slly down
The slope goes in this is gorgeous little pa three today the fourth hole 136 yds Gabby Lopez’s t- shot pin only just on six over the water got to be careful but if he a good one he going to be pretty tight like that one it’s great
To see Lydia Co playing some terrific golf again fifth last week in Korea KN well again here long birdie putt at four wasn’t her best t-shir did she make up for it what a putt she moves to 13 and and at the third pay Chen is one of
The longer hitters in the field she reached the par five 18th and two yesterday almost nobody doing that so far this week an eagle attempt from mid-range as you would tap in there for a birdie and Seline buer at the PA three four making so let’s recap where we’re at at
Things stand rosang is there too clear off the back of that tapping birdie at the third sanapa and tiun tied for second boutier bouncing back our leader of the race to the CME globe in 2023 P Chen NASA had aaker also very much in the mix along with Brook Henderson three
Under through six and Lydia Co a big move with three birdies and her last three holes this is Sunday the final round of the May Bank Championship well three pots coming up here for birdie for our final group if there to be any chance they have to make them Jasmine want to p a first up as and you think again it will fall towards the water from her left to right and in it goes outstanding Jasmine
Sanura Under Pressure it is all happening as they say and you just don’t know with these final two holes what may happen hard to call giving herself a chance she’s within one two to play booty is stting on the 18th t as we speak the par five between her perhaps and the tiger
Trophy don’t you like that tiger trophy too Warren I know you bit of a Tigers fan in another sport you whole city fan are you no he’s talking about the Detroit Tigers in fact Major League Baseball now Rose Zang there you go two out of the three one
More to go what OD take three birdies on the team it’s not an easy hole despite the pin being on the The Friendly section of the green today going negotiate the water and also those bunkers either side of the Fairway at 16 Zang want a PO both birding and here
Is tikon from more barely 2 ft yeah kick in distance really I guess and again it’s the momentum everything everyone’s asking me what the score is too very popular who’s leading so there you go bires fantastic so she also moves within one of Seline boutier bouier very likely not reaching
The 18 in two and the pin tucked in the back right corner which is where we find Gabby Lopez eyeing off and perfect angle coming off of Bogi at 17 pretty much the same position which Brook Henderson made her put from to Vault inside the top
10 you of NES for Seline buer back on 17 see what she does here the final drive in regulation holes was a confident looking swing and with good reason she just gets on with it doesn’t she it’s nice to see as well somebody playing quickly give her a couple of shots under
Par for thatone back to 18 L quarter quite Bridge the green here in two zip one in nicely impressive final round chance to get to 66 today you can make that put for birdie P Yun go we know she can reach but she’s three back yeah she’s really going to
Have to rely I think that oh I don’t know I know maybe just nice little kick up there tell you what she won’t be far short again two big hits if she can make it to 18 Lydia Co right over the flag it’s another good week for Lydia Co currently in a share
Of 11th they walk up to their paths on 18 will go back to 17 325 yds uphill the choice of going right or left almost exclusively it’s been the right side of the Fairway that’s been used this week but if you can sneak it up to the left
Section of that right Fairway gives you a slightly better angle to this flag today on the front section in the rear right of the green little slope back stop behind it as well and it will be a tire titun here with an iron in hand well this has started off on that
Left Center that you were saying Warren and looks in pretty good position there she’ll be delighted with that just in time perfect first part of the job done with the 20-year-old from Thailand a country woman Jasmine a one OFA they’ve all sort of followed each other today they’ve been the energy
Working off it I know they had a bit of a dull patch for three or four holes on this back nine but there’s another good one what’s it like out there Michael are they you know it has it gone a bit flat CU they obviously they know they’re not
Leading anymore a little bit Trish but then again that you know I just saw Rose and ATA cuddling each other under an umbrella and having plenty to say so you know they’re fine they’re fine they know obviously know the situation and you know they’re running out of
Holes once again you can throw a blanket over them in the middle of the Fairway there and 17 we’ll come back to that up ahead at the green NASA hadoka slope up this one up the hill left should give that plenty wow okay well she wasn’t going to leave anything short that’s for
Sure now at this point there have a red hot crack and see if you can make a bir or two on the way in to a few more dollars this week gby Lopez lovely P slightly back down the hill there at 18 that’s how you finish 71 in round two that really hurt
Her chances the 68 today the 15 under total for the week which clears the stage for Lydia Co pretty much the same putt same line fractionally inside that was that just didn’t have the same Pace as Gabby Lopez’s putt so just just at the end took the break she made four birdies
In five HS on the front nine I was like ooh here we go and then just lost the momentum slightly through the turn Paul up third up the hill at the 10th didn’t quite work out for made par there and hasn’t made birdie around the back nine
Either one over 37 in fact off the back of bogy at 16 now Nelly CAU it that’s to finish at 17 under be her best finish for little while more than anything bogey free round of golf play very good good signs for the future from n cter 66 no blemishes whatsoever very easy
Looking indeed so at the moment sits four shots back from Seline buer who is walking down to play her second shot at 18 in just a moment Jasmine sanura and a TI tikon off the back of those birdies at 16 are still there and very much a
Factor the French woman looking for win number four will come back to see if she can claim the trophy right after this Here is the ball positioning of our group which includes our leader Seline buf and the right side of the Fairway ideally you like to be over there just short of that bunker on the left edge of the green to give you a bit of angle to
That back right pin it’s tucked in a little almost Peninsula underneath the sponsors Maris a bit of viaf France coming out there got a spectator out there that’s very much on her that’s perfect that’ll leave her a nice full shot as well very very sensible layup from the leader So back to 17 TI to tun Jasmine sanura and rosean first two to play only one back love to stick one close we saw a j driver hit perfect approach shot it’s just a little short bang on line though Michael yeah it was Trish she had 130 in and I tell
You you know how Yan travels he likes to travel sort of in style well this group is now his majesty the king is out here watching with Malia so I’m on my best behavior God help us all Jasmine sonapur playing her approach here to 17 one behind Seline buer uphill
129 yards to the pin and that’s not going to get up there will it hold on oh just Just she’s mystified as to how that came up short and a fraction right as well after she’s hit so many good short IR overall four down critical moment couldn’t produce one there little fade off the hill from aun Chen finds that deep greenside bunker at 18 okay Rose 121 that’s to the
Pin strike on its way they’ve all struggled to get to pin high and there’s another very strange very our previous grute all knocked it absolutely well couple knocked it nearly stiff that is there’s no wind out there is it there’s been hardly any Breeze at all over the four
Days maybe just the tension of the moment there they all needed to knock one in close there to have a chance bouto makes birdie at 18 then I think it’s pretty much all over she has five wins to her credit on the LPGA of course the one major victory
Was came earlier this year at the amundi Evian Championship let’s take a look at her round because boy she started five shots back from Rose Zang and it’s just been birdie after birdie all the way around both nights this was her third shot into number three she would birdy
That and then on onto the fourth hole this was a birdie putt down the hill back birdies at the power five Fifth Third here coming over the water in back right cut a little corner off the green a sensational short ey Seline botier that would move her to 16 under
And she was tracking them down par three eight 171 yds today in all the way at the back no one’s really got very close to it today but bouer had an absolute Beauty in here she convert that another birdie she didn’t know what was happening out in front rosang had her
Issues on the front now with backto back buies Seline buer eyes on the prize just kept rolling in puts terrific one at 11 to move within one of the lead and then this at 12 Foret just stuck in the left hand side and as Z that wasn’t enough 13 well she came up way short on 13 not an easy hole today with a back pin makes no difference for boy8 absolutely rammed it into the back of the hole for a birdie
Four-way share of the lead became just her on her own out in front and then this at 16 two good shots to that point rolls in another one her eight birdie of the day that made it a two- shot lead a good answer one a PO have responded to
Be trailing by just one but what a scorecard that is to produce with everything on the line in A3 million tournament no less yeah eight birdies no Bogies whatsoever last round when you know you have to go low she might need just one more if she gets that shoot 63
Well you’d have to say she deserves every single Accolade that goes her way it’s been stunting to watch Good pass save at 17 as well a couple nervy shots very good putt from 5 ft to save her part now JMA drra I didn’t see the flag there against
The yellow backdrop of the sponsors mares May bank but just over the middle of the first bunker is pretty much her line if she wants to go directly at it and she did fantastic what a great finish from Gemma really is knocking the flags
Out but she want to keep going give me a few more holes I have this tournament in the bag caddy Paul big part of her success last year and this year really are a a perfect combination we saw that second shot of Seline bouttier she has 62 yard yards
Remaining similar angle to what dri had just a moment ago she can put one close she’ll have at least one hand on the trophy that’s a pressure shot hopefully she’s left herself a full shot that would take a little bit of the pressure off was nice to hit her
Hard almost a three cor shot but she loves it just not quite not enough but I’ll tell you she’s left herself an uphill pu look like she was into a bit of uphill grain there just back into it and the club didn’t release through the ball and just
Stopped it slightly here is roseen from off the green at 17 yeah there to get LIF clean in place and that’s a little hot well the second one we’ve seen in her in the last four or five holes where she just blazed it past the flag with a just a wedge in hand
From off the green yeah uh is that tension or technique a bit of both I think in all honesty Now Jasmine all up here checked on and won’t get there neither of those are anything to write home about that’s for sure situation they’re in doesn’t help but really do especially San porish is
Got to make that give herself a chance at 18 has to make that now this is a tough shot all of 50 odd yards out of that front bunker over another bunker and she’s going straight over it this is not easy she get all the way back there go
On get up that hill go on yeah never easy she had to have a go with the three-wood though she’s got him she had to make eagle and hope that boutier would somehow make a mistake big galleries ringed around the 18th likewise here in this Amphitheater almost at
17 tiun for birdie up the hill runs it over the left Edge Oh I thought she had that really did think she had that the way she stayed down on it it looked like she was thinking Yep this one’s in what a good effort that was quarter piece of the hole somehow
Stays out look to be beautiful speed it’s only a par remains one back not knowing what’s happening up in front of her with Seline buer boer’s got around about 18 20 ft for birdie Ren has this this for part no doubt you’ve had a really good
Look at this one Michael yeah and it’s I think you can expect a little left or right TRS quick and that is a h of a pass good putt Brave putt well she might need a hole out for her third at 18 force a playoff potentially should
Buer not make her birdie putt here to payon Chen see be first to punt in this group of her J drup and Seline butier our leader by one that a one point early in round two part of that four-way share of the lead towards the back of the front [Applause]
Nine it’s a very good effort that’s a good tournament have to remember she’s not won an event yet the EP tour but it’s not the same she’s been very close this week and she’ll just look back afterwards and think what might have done a little bit differently
Given the opportunity again and I don’t doubt she will have many more opportunities she looks to be a very very interesting player she’s made so many big PS already this week Seline buer one more just about give her the win taking a look at what she has here P tucking his back right
Corner it’s interesting this one I’m not sure how what do we think this is about 12 15 ft I suppose the camera always for shortens 15 ft it’s at least 15 ft certainly Five Paces the thought maybe six constant slope from the back edge of the green down towards the bunker in
This section should be just outside left interesting to see how aggressive she is with this she knows the situation there’s a leader board right up to her left hand side there she knows if she holds this the chances are it’s a wind but also you kind of think well got a one shot
Lead do I make someone make birdie don’t do anything heavy-handed she spoke yesterday about staying play in the process she can do that here make birdie you’d think the title is hers leaks away and stays out looked good for so long long there it’s just a par for booty here with tiun and
S come up 18 just the one shot back an ounce literally an ounce harder and that was in normally when you see players do that sort of move their hips and their knees you know it’s going to miss but on that particular putt I got to be honest I
Thought it was going to drop it just had just not a fraction a fraction more and it would have dropped we have some drama here to come j drra fantastic week for her that really bent away that’s is disappointing but what a great week she’ll be looking forward to
Getting to Japan defend her title and she’s in fine fettle for that another four rounds in the 60s it’s power at 18 for p chin great week though also for her playing alongside Jim and drra and also Seline here but she comes up three shots short she joined that four-way share of the
Lead with a rush early in her back n maintain the momentum the end the bogy at 15 ended her chances so Seline bu here will sit back and watch I dare say she’ll take in some air conditioning back in the clubhouse for a moment or two and just watch the
Screen and see what happens with the group behind it let’s head back down the Fairway here at 18 see what happens for our group of Sayang Kim that’s aoka and also Megan Kang heard it think about what they’ve got left for their approaches at 18 we’ll go all the
Way back to the T tun would like to find the Fairway not imperative though given it’s layup more than likely for her but she will find the Short Grass I don’t know she can give it a rip off the tee she can get pretty close if she wants to I think she
Longer than the other two players autographs at the moment she’s all bized to still Seline buo with good re sanura that’s perfect very easy going out there on 18 you wouldn’t know they’re playing for an excess of half a million dollars first prize would you not
Really well we all heard that raw before up on in green with seline’s putt so they know the situation here now Rose bit low ball flight Tian as you can expect was the longest up the left and this one’s looking good too so it’s down the middle so it’s all about
Being in the go Zone we’ll see if she is and the Louis sugs Rolex Rookie of the Year race he ran youu leads from Grace Kim you ini M there in third place at the moment there is rosang who won her first attempt as a professional after being a
US amate champion us girls junior Champion uh Augusta National Women’s Amateur Champion two time NCAA Champion she can play a bit think going to see her for a long time to come yeah she’s got Feut That’s here at 18 coming out on the bunker oh almost a spectacular finish last St she was charging hard like she might join the party got derailed on the back nine absolutely spectacular front nine all all but but again a good week before she goes back to her Homeland Megan
King as we’ve seen before just a away back down the hill there be behind the flag disons is the American as she is up in in good style of course here this week she has the one blemish on her card back at the second and for the moment
She’s in outright ninth here’s our final group sanura Zang and titk Jasmine sanura TI tit make bod here to uh force a playoff yeah they all know the what they need to do Jasmine’s at 272 so that’s obviously out of range but she’s just got to find that perfect
Layup It’s a grand stage for a tremendous Championship the 18th here at ble Golf and Country Club Jasmine sanura hybrid in hand trying to find position here needing to make birdie to force a playoff with Seline butier in the clubhouse at 21 under that’s a good shot certainly avoiding all bunkers perfect perfect
Position for her SW on the down slope there she would have much preferred to get down to the bottom of the hill and just be on the flat yeah maybe but with this flag being so far back I don’t think it would do her any harm actually might want to get
One cuz she hits it pretty high get one shooting a little bit just pitching short of the flag it might just release cuz we’ve seen nothing release upon this towards this flag at all today people have either pitched it far too long or 10 yard short 10t short and it won’t
Release ring started the day is our outright leader battle with Jasmine to want to pour around the front line they were joined by P Yun chin and also Seline botier but Bogie’s at seven and eight her Zang another one at 13 a tough Prospect to try and reach 20 underp here She
Is again that looks great in flight and I think uh her stance for the next shot will be pretty good by looks little bit further on there from sanura so down on the flat and a bit further back than she has been over the past couple of
Days at 18 where she’s had issues uh with the grain the front of the slope there off the The False front of the grein tie tiut now can she reach that’s the question well she’s got 260 baren 260 yard a little delay there with S Young Kim at
The back of the green chipping on well after her playing Partners have both puted out and that just caught the Ty Titan’s eye I don’t know she realized she was there must have been waiting for a ruling the career she’s not the only ones that didn’t realize she was there
We were just not sure what’s going on there well she’s got that gold and black on she’s blending into the sign you can see It sure that’s not the Caddy send you off to the optometrist tomorrow morning Michael yeah well it’s a long way and these glasses are fogging up out here left rer here for SE young Kim who stumbled out of the gates double bogy six at the first pretty much killed her chances Stone dead right there four more Bogies
Around last lap today slides away as well chat the Marquee behind the 18th green they’re animated enjoy their golf this week you don’t get away with anything here love their golf but they’re only when they’re not impressed say young Kim clears the stage for TI tial waiting patiently back in the
Fairway she’s got 260 we were wondering if she could get there well she certainly obviously thinks she can absolutely I think that left side she’s just looking to run it up that left side if she can she’s not going to carry the bunker no chance but she could just give
Herself a 60 foot up birdie for a playoff Eagle to [Applause] win what a shot what a tremendous gol shot that is I mean it’s left her a monstrous pu however she has carried that all the way it’s 260 to the pin I think so two 228 230 to the
Front what a shot that was carried it all the way oh do you think the adrenaline isn’t flowing here on 18 fear let’s take a look at some of her highlights from earlier today the par 34 just one back from Rose Zang who L it 18 under overnight using the back stop
Ring it back down to the flag that was juicy TI to she would make that for birdie she go on to Bogey six but this is a putt from birdie at the ninth really a birdie hole today but it was for a tire never missing beautifully [Applause]
Hold and number 15 across the water here at the path three the same section of the green as the flag just beyond it from 9 ft she made that as well to give her Dela chance trying to track down Seline boier she knew full well the
Scores at this stage knew she had to make a birdie at 16 not the best drive not the greatest lie but what a shot out of the Run judged it to absolute perfection and have a kick in birdie there go in would be backto back birdies
At 615 rather and 16 for TI to theun R around the the front nine and then a string of passs but now with the chance at Eagle to win two putts for a birdie and the playoff on a hole she has ped three days in a
Row as fantastic a shot as that was and it really was this is no gimme tup cuz she’s got the best part well that’s got to be 30 Paces has to be so it’s got to be 90 ft I would say and there is a lot
Of ridges here to go up and down she can put this within I don’t know 5T I think she’ll be very very happy just leave a leave herself a five-footer up the hill if possible but that was some [Applause] shot she got to be a bit pumped up needs
To calm things down and just solve the issue of the punch she has to try and get down maximum of two so Aura can she stick one close here to maybe force a three-way player potentially yeah we’ve sort of forgotten about Jasmine haven’t we totally do
Apologize she can get up and down give herself this is a good distance as well she’s far enough back to be hitting a full shot s des what you were saying before Trish about being to get a little bit of check on this she can with her the where
It’s positioned at the moment with the stance but gee there are thousands of people out here at the amphitheater the May Bank Championship Marquees choca block full it’s a brilliant atmosphere a slight down slope she’s had a tend to really clip these very cleanly yeah she really does have to
Stay with this shot stay down long enough to make really good contact because this has to be pitched all the [Applause] way just when she needed to clip it she’s hit it [Applause] heavy the complete opposite of what she’s been doing so far here in round four yeah
She’s sorry Warren she’s having a close look there at a divot is still looking at it just got it a shade heavy as Trish said now roseen right pin coming over the corner of the bunker quite going to be a coronation should she have won today but a second
Win in 12 tournaments to begin her career was going to be quite something that’s going heavy long past the pin that’s one the majority of players have been from that distance they all knocked it but it’s a makable putt downhill you know you’re not going to leave it
Short disappointing day for Rose but you never know it looking at it looked after the details as far as the card is concerned now we’ll go to perhaps the practice green or is it going to be a bit of air conditioning what would you do Trish would you go to
The cool or maybe just keep yourself moving oh no you’ve got to go to the practice pting green probably that’s the place to go to just down here on the left hand side no point you don’t want to go and sit in air conditioning that’s
The last thing you want to do just in case you know 15 minutes time there could be a playoff she needs to be absolutely back in mentally focused on what she’s trying to do well she’s probably resigned to the fact now that with t on in two here at
18 that she is going to need more action if she’s to win here today although as you said shoulder of the uh the green the back section a bit of a hump there which will feed this ball from left to right and it’s certainly not an easy two pass
Oh not at all I mean I think she’ll do incredibly well to get down into two from here yeah absolutely Trish 75 ft she so up and over the slope and then it breaks sharply from her left to right up the hill so she’s up up the slope first
Of all and then it filters but it’s still pretty much all up hill it’s pretty noisy out here nobody has made Eagle here at 18 today but this take the title [Applause] had the line but not the length leave around about a six-footer to make the playoff yeah pretty good effort not easy
It was back on line as well wasn’t it for a moment there I think she was getting pretty excited when she hit it she knew she had the right line but as Michael said look you can just see there how much it is uphill at the uh at the
End and this is no this is no easy putt either it’s up Hill but it’s still going to break left or right she’s got to make a decision whether or not she hits it really firm or she lets it take the break to be 20 and smiling with a
Six-footer to try and keep yourself in the tournament well Sandy said earlier how you know she was loving being here playing in this tournament and she looked to be honest even when she was sort of down and out two shots behind she really does look like she’s enjoying herself out there
Absolutely why wouldn’t you Trish fantastic big crowds big tournament 3 million us prize money living the life booty up rolling a couple of HS here on the practice screen watched by some of the fans just across the path from the 18th grade it’s a unique situation where she could stand there
And watch what’s happening with the part of it to in just a moment Down the [Applause] slope one of those days for Rose Zen you get at 18 under par she is at 19 under with just over couple of feet left for for her five she’ll just move that marker because Jasmine’s on a Poor’s line is somewhere thereabout and we’ll see the
Jasmine make a long P try TI buia here at 21 under well if it goes in Warren we will know about it we’ve got about 10,000 on course commentators here at the moment everyone’s got an opinion and they’re riding every part every shot what do you see in this part
Michael well again it is uphill and everything seems to be going left to right on this but you know she she would have just liked it to kick up a bit more as we said I think Trisha’s strategy is probably the best in this situation
FM take as much break out of it as you can it slopes from her right to left off that bunker a little in the early part of this PT and it’s slow that we know yeah and if you’ve got a putt to get in a playoff I don’t care who you are how
Much money you got how many tournaments you want you have to give it a go regardless forget about what might be coming back this is your one chance to get in the playoff the wick began with a 63 she L at the halfway mark also by one stroke she’s played with pressure all
Week she now needs this well she gave it a good ride hit it [Applause] firm it’s down to Tian now with one punt remaining try and force a playoff here against Seline buy Jasmine sanura will come up shot short that will hurt after she’s done all that hard work of playing
In the lead or near the lead almost all 72 homes yeah really tough to take he just it’s so hard at this precise moment in time you have to take the positives she’s been spectacular pretty much all four days here we go left to right
Put how much Pace does she want to give it what a momenta tium stands up and delivers two big shots to hit the green of 18 two good PRS to force a playoff against Seline bu that is as Brave as you like it really is courage personified just hit it firm left Santa
Good honor it was brilliant wasn’t it to hit the Green in two 260 yd out two great Parts drama theater brilliant three birdies the last four holes when she was two back batting to key Pace Miss Seline birer Jasmine want to P up oh that was just a non-committed shove at the death
That’s a real shame to make bogy there after everything she had done this week slides one further away to finish it 19 under today a closing 70 after the Stell 63 which was the course record until atire TI Eclipse her yesterday with that 10 under pass 62 and guess the windless drought continues
For Jasmine so a p of four years now on Counting yeah very disappointing Brave putt having a go to get in the playoff of course you don’t want a three but you’d kick yourself if you left it short to get a playoff now rang to finish off this for a tied third place
Finish not what she was after but she will learn an awful lot from this no two ways about it it’s a good week seemed to really enjoy her combination this an example of it uh olle Brett her Gaddy this week they seem to really click that’s great to see that
Embrace between Rose gra Zang and also Ty titun well now it’s the 20-year-old Tai he’ll take on Seline buer from France who’s searching for a fourth win no less in 2023 it’s been an unbelievable season it will go to a 73rd hole at a minimum here at mopa Golf and Country Club
And there is the lady who had to watch on and watch Ty TI make that clutch clut six-footer to force this play yeah probably listen on more than watch on cuz having a look at that the chances of being able to see anything through that crowd pretty remote but I think I think
That’s what what you would do you just wait and hope you hear a but it wasn’t I’m afraid it was a big cheer rather than the Sigh but how exciting now for for those people out there watching take a look at it once again it’s a good it’s such a film but it’s
Never missing from the moment she hits it she pretty much takes the B out she’s such a cool customer as well is she no no celebrating it whatsoever apart from M Zang there AR no roses here on the course CH just walk around and smelt the Roses today just
Told around had a final time she been smiling at tired to like it’s just a a practice round on Tuesday morning yeah she’s she’s a delight to watch I have to say she’s one of those players that makes you she realizes how lucky she is to play to do
A job that she absolutely Loves so we have a playoff to decide this may Bank championship in 2023 will be Seline buer versus T tun coming up in just a moment that’s how they finish locked at the top at 21 under par do not go Anywhere not the greatest of days for Megan Kang today to under but she was going much better than that but she’s playing well every single week she’ll be in The Winner Circle again soon be sure of that further down the leaderboard Hannah green well she got it to underpar today
After her struggles on the green yesterday ni start that was a good round she bogy the last for that as well bogy the ninth hole she was flying today genuine coat not really seen an awful lot of her this week but 10 and Par decent week Emily pedison desperately trying to
Keep her card good week for her tied 20th see the disastrous day for Sean Kim the two-time major Champion five over par really not sure where that came from she’ll be absolutely devastated by that rounde but she’ll be back sah Kemp two under today eight under and Leona Maguire even PA thought
She might have a better one than that today had a good round yesterday up the Leaderboard pin delor B’s fellow French woman good finish six under anash buight AIG Women’s Open champion from last year level par Today well the weather could be a little dodgy out there he would have got it all finished but for the playoff and let’s hope and pray oh that’s a bit dark over there we got to keep our fingers crossed that the weather doesn’t play the part we don’t want it to play
In this uh playoff no that would be a disaster wouldn’t it what a a passion killer that would be if the siren went to uh halt the playoff so the playoff format will be the 18th Hall followed by the 18th then 15 back to 18 if required and if
Need to play more after that we might need the lights there it is that’s the scenario the par 5 18th Par 3 15th across the water our playoff hols 18 first two occasions if required and the playoff here you would think given what we’ve just seen an advantage for a TI tikum to
Maybe hit the green again in two off the back of a good drive we know she can get get home quite obviously s boier more than likely can’t so like to see if that power differential between the two of them is a factor here in deciding this
Championship yeah it could be the only thing I will say is I mean they were too magnificent shots to hit the green there and and it did leave her a monstrous P boutier such a good player leave if she’s got the shot in first for her third shot knocks it in tight could
Change the pressure around totally so yeah it’s it’s a scenario that you would think would be the ad Vantage to Tien but uh you just never quite know let’s see where their t- shots end up first of all thumbs up chance for B to keep things going and we’ll head back down the
18th fan sticking around here to see what happen in this drama field playoff and could you be any more relaxed I was just about to say you know there that’s taking the Mickey a little bit isn’t it feet up you know she’s like oh yeah I’ll
Just down she’s all but ordered a a [Applause] daer she’s just kicking back a club M so composed Warren Trish it is amazing to watch these wonderful young players out on tour now so there is a bit of drama as you say I’ve just spoken to the rules officials and they’re going to
High tail it down here because there is as Trish mentioned just a moment ago that cell out there and we all know what it’s like in Malaysia so let’s hope they can get back yeah well the storms come in not like clockwork but boy they are fairly
Regular and somewhere in a 2 or 3 hour window usually during the course of the afternoon they arrive and when the heavens open my goodness it’s a wall of water so let’s hope that isn’t the case wonder what the uh the snack of choice here is for a TI
To come on Michael you you must be able to see that can you not keep up with him I’m a costume of a man at the moment Trish I’m melted can’t keep up the I of the choice well I know what I’d like but it’s froy a little bit of cloud cover
Here at the moment that’s enough of the snacks uh a little bit of respite from the Sun as they head back down to 18 good job by our cameras to follow them all the way down there to build the drama round four t- shots and the comparison in length off the T between
The two of them not a massive Advantage there some 14 ydd between them off the T but then the Fairway W retire to that was something to behold yeah it really was he managed to pitch it all the way left herself well as we say it’s not
An easy it’s not an easy shot there’s not a lot of room there if she goes any further right she’s probably going to catch that right hand bunker so it really was a very brave take no Eagles on this 18th hole at all I almost feel like it had just been
Maybe 25 yds further forward it would have been a much more entertaining hole think we might have seen a lot more players have a crack at it my good Saloon buo who’s going to be first to play in our playoff this 2023 May Bank championship Maybe a slight Advantage going first get the ball in the Fairway put a little bit of pressure on your playing partner obviously it’s a match play situation now she likes that and with good reason that splits the Fairway really couldn’t have placed it any better in a playoff situation now you
Remember just only what 15 minutes ago at his drive went up on that left side left Ridge and left her 260 so we know she can get there for sure as Trish mentioned must hit the Fairway [Applause] down the left hand side ever so slightly
But up and over the hill again to a very similar situation to what she had in regulation of the 72nd hole feeding back towards the bidd there in actual fact Warren her stance will be even steeper above the ball the feet above the ball this time because
She was higher up the hill so A variation but you know I’ll get you a number in a moment it would be very very close close the same distance and she’s a long way in front of Seline if she can reach ball below her feet there might
Help her just shape one a little bit left to right to that back right pin absolutely cut one in there um could be the play but if she hits the green twice in two you know as I said 20 minutes it’s brilliant so many people have stayed out here watching been a
Tremendous Championship all week what you did in the middle of the year of course winning the the Monday Evan championship and then she said I was fatigued and tied going to the Scottish open managed to win that as well yeah I think um I must admit I’m always more
Surprised that people don’t win back toback because the the amount of confidence you’ve got going into your second week is just you you just live on adrenaline basically and you almost don’t think about what you’re doing the only thing I will say is is to win your national uh major championship what goes
With that the emotion that must have been pouring out of her you would have thought she would probably be absolutely shattered so I I kind of understand where she was going but again you know you’re playing so well why wouldn’t you win back to back kind of thing or what
Winning being in contention is what you expect here we are with the ball positions off the te in this first playoff hle 273 off the T for TI 247 so just on 25 yards there 26 in fact between the two of them at 255 she had
260 to the flag first time around on the 18th hole so 5 yds closer here for Tien we’ll see if she can take advantage once again yeah and it’s only you know the flag’s 25 on so if she’s got 250 or she’s only got 225 front she pitches a three with 230
Girls I don’t want to get on to you but we need a winner on this hole if you don’t mind you’re a patient woman Trish come on it’s not that I don’t mind waiting Michael but I don’t think we’re going to get the chance no it’s dark here at the
Moment so Seline play First she’s got 281 to the P that’s out of the question where is the layout position that is going a little right but not too bad got okay with it on the outside there plenty of speed on that third shot sh to that back ride pin it is getting ever slightly darker
Here with every passing minute col golf and country club now we’ll see if didun well she has the green light we know that we’ll see where can she finish here can she give herself a chance an eagle putt maybe two putts once again for the victory this time though as Michael said slightly
Different life ball below her feet this is going to move a fraction from left to right right if she’s got enough bat in her hand if she can carry that front just right hand bunker there oh that’s going right way right towards the crowd oh my goodness off the mayank Marquee it bounces
Back and into the rough that wasn’t part of the game plan well that was pretty extraordinary that shot Michael that’s what 60 yards offline 60 yards Trish absolutely and I was conern just it looked quite steep you know stance and you had to be aiming at the left hand
Side dker as War mentioned to cut it in there and yeah that’s about 60 yd right he got a lovely bounce off the off the tent though and she you can see it that’s going to be a difficult really difficult next shot over that bunker yeah it’s a real Peninsula that
Back right section of the 18th green and coming out of the uh the rough there’ll be limited spin there depending on how it’s lying real issue there for tikun and you would say this stage Advantage Seline buer yeah you certainly would you just never know
Though get one of those lies out of the rough that you know is going to come out dead and almost sort of high on the club face so that if you can give it a bit of well get it up there and it’s not going to release just depends on the light [Applause]
She maintains a very stoic facade doesn’t she Seline buer very much the game phase on right now in this situation it’s quite the contrast to her opponent here who is happy and easygo carefree got a few issues though here suddenly 20-y old Tai has the advantage though of being first
To play she can hit one close she put some real pressure on the short game of Seline boutier who didn’t hit her best shot from that range it has to be said in regulation no not at all and we’ve seen her hit a few shots off of uphill
Lies into this sort of grainy sort of grass and they’ve not been great she digs a little bit she does actually hit her irons with quite a lot of turf in general so on this sort of uh this terrain it’s not the most ideal when you’re playing those little short shots
But uh this is all about what sort of line Titans got how much green she’s got to work with that PIN we can see is over on the right hand side there’s not going to be much room between the edge of the rough And the pin s budia takes a look
At what she has up there on the green Michael OWI you’ve had a look at that ball there of said t Tik and what do you think well Oren not you know could be sitting a lot worse not too bad but it’s just so tight when you look at it that
Bunker of right on the right hand side and the room that she’s got to work with will it stop how high does she hit it yes it’s not a good Lie Is It Michael well it’s not it’s better than I thought it would be but again grass it’s a
Little bit of grass over the top of the ball and then behind it she’s got a rangefinder out at the moment and it’s 73 three yds to the pin well quite a long way above her feet as well just to a bit more difficulty to the problem she has yeah it’s about 9.8
On a degree of difficulty this is going to jump a bit as well she’s got to give it plenty of Welly to get it up there if it’s over 70 odd yards lying down like that and when it does land it’s going to release she needs some luck
Here he’s come out heavy will it get there no it does not well that was a very tough shot difficult really was now seline’s only got 52 yards there’s the advantage of being in a similar situation in regulation not that long ago Opportunity here to take an iron grip on the [Applause] championship that’s worse than what he did at the 72nd hole what a chance missed by Seline boutier to really put the pressure on that next shot and the tire tial yeah that was a shocker got to be honest it’s
One of those that doesn’t fancy at all you can see it’s just a sort of quit at the bottom doesn’t like that into the uphill slope with the brain coming into you it’s not an easy shot at all but you’ve got to get the ball first and she
Just made caught it a little bit to first I’m surprised she left herself such a short distance in there to me that would have been the one where you just leave yourself a full shot it’s just a horror shot got 50 odd yards uphill into the Grain well who said you didn’t like a bit of drama on a Sunday afternoon got some free golf here past the 70 second hole oh and a bit of Thunder yes a little bit of Thunder there they got a reaction from the crowd as well 17th hole 71st in
Regulation did hit a less than Stell chip she did make par though that’s very good to close range to tap in range in fact it looks like a five Tien and now Seline buer from an outside birdie chance range a chance to win it in regulation she’s made longer puts than
This so far today she has yeah no question she made one on 13 that was almost twice this length however not quite under the same pressure and this is interesting because obviously she’s got this to win and I think she probably knows if she doesn’t hold this this playoff is likely to have
A suspension assuming that Tian holds and they come back well who there’s only one person that knows that he’s high up in the sky we’ve seen this putt earlier from that we have sanura up the hill onto the flat section of the green of the back here and
Bending left to right yeah but doesn’t she just missed it on the right hand side cuz you it’s it’s pretty straight it’s firm and straight yep that would be the strategy to firm and straight uphill slower than you [Applause] think it’s coming back from the run and
It was right in the heart as it turned out it’s a five for [Applause] boutier trying to get up and down from short of the green to win it at the first playoff hole she needs three more shots it’s a five and now this to extend the playoff 2 and 1 half 3
Ft just trying to get everybody to stand still there’s a lot of commotion going on because of the potential weather just take your Time they’ halfed in fives they’ll go back to the te for a second time if the drama of the golf itself isn’t enough for you the drama of the weather closing in and a storm cell out there somewhere and looks like they’re going to load up again and race back to the
Te there be no chances taken as far as any situation regarding light here if it wasn’t safe it would not be a continuation of the playoff but for the moment the officials are happy that any electrical activity is still a long way away from the course let’s take a look
At some of the highlights from this fourth round will begin all the way back at the first hole chipping in for Chen who at one stage would end up in a share of the lead Lydia Co sorry rang this this is her third shot into the par five third
This pin position was perfect and she nearly slammed DED it at the 50 the second of the par FES on the front line Seline buer off to a bright start with Bird’s at the third and also the fourth would keep it going to make it a trio of birdies tapping
That in at number five then she’d stand on the eighth t with a five iron in her hand back pin today not many players got close to this one but boutier hit an absolute PE in here tiny little bit of release in for bird2 out would nine of 32 she could be
Going around the back line to eventually take a two- shot lead at one stage and TI Tien 17 under try to stay with rose Zang and also buet did nicely there she would have a rush of birdies to come DJ certainly would this was her dirdy
Putt on 11 down the hill plenty of yardage in this one never missing though the moment she hit it 10 out Pace rosang began the day with a one- shot lead birdies at the third and also the fourth to be in great shape at that stage that one at 10 after some stumbles
At the seventh and the eighth got going again in the right direction CAU up was having a good day she was out in three under par and this was her second shot into 14 short Par Four that’s a beauty that will get her to 16 under
Par so we’re back on the 18t in double quick time Seline boutier just making sure that everybody’s out of the way as some of the fans Scurry back to get a view of the action here on the on the t-shot at our second extra a
Hole and Warren just to add a little bit more to the mix it started to rain so there was a big difference between these two in the first playoff hole in terms of off the te not sure if that just caught the right hand rough or stayed in the Fairway
There did you see it Michael I didn’t Trish I missed that one I was too busy trying to recover from sprinting up the Fairway actually I’ve got to work on my Fitness in the offseason trying to get your breath back are you yeah how’s Sandy by the way I need an update she’s
Okay on course commentator s McKenzie Twisted her ankle on course earlier on she’s been a keen viewer though of all this action tiun from the T looking down the right hand side oh well that’s certainly caught the rough and then maybe more than that after licking her
Second at the first playoff hole with the ball below her feet she blocks one here off the te that is massively right to say that’s a long way right of where she’s aiming middle of the Fairway to where her ball has gone towards the trees must be 40 50 yards same as she’s
Just hit a three-wood on last it’s very dark indeed it definitely is 15th hole would be our our third playoff hole if required the moment with the rain beginning to fall maybe that storm closing in it’s problematic as to whether we would make it to a third playoff hole without a
Delay yeah and even though we can hear that sort of Thunder above be assured that the LPGA are on top of this they know how far away that is if it was literally on top we would not still be playing regardless of the need to get the tournament finished obviously player
Safety and fan safety is high up on the list of priorities I think safe to say though these players are going to get very wet in the next half an hour cuz they won’t stop playing because of rain because it can’t be monsun here as we’ve experienced earlier in the
Week okay there’s Thunder there I haven’t seen any lightning yet but the rain and I’ve just gone up to where at ball is and it’s plugged just by the drain so I would say it’s probably 15 yd right of the Fairway plugged as in embedded embedded in the yell
So she may need a we’ve got plenty of rules officials out here to come and have a look and she would have 276 so clearly that’s not in play this time roundel it it is a bit warrant it is but um you know we’re just all hoping we can
Get it done here you got your Broly Michael I haven’t cuzz Sandy do you think she’d be able to send me one out I doubt it I don’t think she’s any condition to run you a Broly out at the moment there is the ball of Seline boier just on the cut
Surface so has the advantage there with the preferred lies in play to just move that ever so slightly to the optimum line ball of EX up as far right for a moment was going the trees didn’t it yeah yeah she’s going to get a drop if she’s eded
Ball she will get a drop she’ll get a drop is right by that drain so obviously the little water that we’ve been having that you’re talking about is you know runs to that drain it’s very marshik swampy and Lauren Lauren is coming out now the rul is Official So something of a good break here for a TI at least to gives her the chance to move it just one Club length to the left of where her ball finished up it’ll help just ever so slightly the interesting thing here is obviously the ball in the rough this
Rough is not pleasant you got to drop it it is going to P back down into what you would call a pretty dodgy lie you would think yeah that’s going to change things because she’s not going to be able to advance this particularly far I’m not
Sure she can carry Michael do you think she can carry that she’s got a shocker of a lie she’s not going to be able to carry that bunker in front of her is she yeah well that’s the worry isn’t it there’s um it’s awkward there’s trees overhanging as well there’s bamboo up
The right hand side and that bunker yeah that’s that’s she’s got to try and carry it but all depends on that line so Le go first well the siren sounds with the ball in the air can you believe that and it ends up Long Way left off that hook
Lie for Seline boutier that was a real fact there players will leave the course halfway up the second extra hole goodness that you’re just sort of wondering the timing of it you know she’s hit hit the shot and then the horn straight away she had to look over interesting very interesting
So in we go and Ty tiun with the siren sounding being able to mark her ball pick it up and then she’ll drop it again to get things back underway when she returns and that might be a break because while it’s still likely that will still sink to the bottom of that
Babuta rough when you drop it from a vertical situation can’t be any worse than what it was first time around well possibly not but of course it’s going to be that much wetter which makes it really harder to you know get underneath it as well I don’t either way I’m not
Too sure it’s going to be a huge Advantage I just think s boutier might be a little bit ticked off there to be honest that Hooter went the moment she’s hit that shot and I’ll tell you what if you give her the option I’m telling you now she
Doesn’t want to hit that shot she would and it’s not just cuz she’s hit a poor one it’s literally the conditions it’s raining whereas her playing partner has almost been given well no option obviously but she would much have preferred to come back out and just hit a fairway
Wood the only thing I will say is it looks like it’s lying okay so she’ll Mark that sort of three TS or whatever you go and then she can place it back when she comes back out but that again will be really wet if we had the weather that we were
Expecting Prett surprised they didn’t I they blew it literally the moment you made contact with the ball very very strange yes I guess if in the try to make it as Fair as possible well maybe just before they both hit their seconds but at some point having
Played the same number of shots maybe have been more opportune anyway she’s up there on the left hand side of the hill in the rough the good thing is it’s a pretty good angle to that back right pin but for the ball below a fe in the rough
L an ideal quite obviously and we’ll come back when we have a clearance from the weather and the good news is while it does come in pretty quickly and it can get ugly in a hurry it also does clear pretty quickly here up Golf and Country Club so we’ll see how it fares
Andand both looking at Warren as though he’s been living in Cloud cookingland for the last three days CU what we’ve seen is horrendous weather for hours on end when it comes down no no it does clear just catch the edge of the cell and only might be half an hour or
Thereabouts WKA there it go straight through another positive it’s a glass half F Trish here is Seline buer and a TI Tien there in this playoff second extra hole after finishing tied at 21 underpar TI marvelous birdie after hitting the Green in two at the 18th in regulation the
Eagle P to win made a 644 birdie to force the playoff and now they will both for the moment go back to the clubhouse and get the uh the pleasant air conditioning to relieve themselves for just a short while because uh it has been oppressive once again so steamy and
Warm this week in K Lumber and we’ve had a dramatic finish as it had the chances to be earlier today with how many are close to the lead yeah definitely I mean at one stage uh pay and Chan had the lead rang had the lead sooro had the lead Titan
Had the lead and then bouier so five different players had the lead coming into well during the course of this last round as it’s turned out 21 under I’m not sure we would have picked that score at the start of the week very impressive but superb round of 64 from Selen bouier
Today Jasmine swur roseen tied for third there at 19 under both of them have the outright lead at one stage of the fourth round so we have a suspension of play we are in a playoff at the second extra hole we will leave you for the moment
From kopo golf and country club and when we return we’ll see who will take the May big championship for 2023 between Seline buer and also atire Typical welcome back to qu Luma Golf and Country Club we’re about to resume the playoff we were in the midst of a what is now a second hole playoff between and also Seline boutier at the first playoff hole that chip for birdie for tun just
Missed to the left hand side a putt here for Seline buer both tied at 21 under and left right in the Jaws by the three-time winner on tour in 2023 hi everybody Warren Smith along with Trish Johnson to take you through this playoff Michael oire joining us on course at as
Well and as you can see atti TI back down in the Fairway had a situation where she took a drop at the second playoff hole blew her t-shot well right Trish she was about to play her second Seline botier played her second and the siren sounded just seconds afterward
With the team the rain teaming down and electrical activity in the air which caus a suspension of play at 247 and here we are almost an hour and a half exactly beyond that point and we’re about to get things back underway yes strange situation that the uh the hooa
Blue literally what 2 seconds after boutier had hit her her second shot a little surprised normally you kind of almost get the choice you know you know it’s going to go and I’m pretty sure she would have preferred to not play that shot but uh it is what it is and now
Both of them have got to go back and uh there there’s pluses and minuses here there’s going to be a really bad situation for Titan she is not going to going to get a good drop uh we know it’s really heavy where she is and we also
Know it’s a lot wetter than it was an hour and a half ago there’s no question about that so a little bit of Breeze around temperature has cooled off quite remarkably given the the storm cell that passed through that’s a relief for the players and The Spectators many of them
Still here around the 18th green to watch and see how this plays out this playoff between Seline boutier and also attire titum they finished the 21 under par as we said earlier on S bu began the day five shots off the lead of R Zen who was
At 18 under overnight she was 13 under Seline boier to begin her final round fighter 64 eight birdies no burgies it was tremendous and she’s taken the chance here to roll a few putts after both players have been over on the 10th T using that as a bit of a a mini
Warm-up range which is adjacent to the 18th and she’s ready for action now she’ll head back down to where her second shot finished the left hand side in the rough awkward stance coming up but she will be able to place her ball to get things back underway and a tire
TI two time winner on the LPGA Tour 20 years of age from Thailand she’ll be wandering back down to her shot it’s going to be a very awkward shot that she has having missed that t- shot well to the right while she’ be able to place
Her ball is that going to be an easy shot for her second no certainly not it wasn’t going to be easy when when she was there first time around uh the line was pretty awful obviously she got a drop from the plug P but she’s got an
Issue now because she’s got a bunker up on the right hand side and unless she gets incredibly lucky when she puts the ball back down or drops the ball back down I don’t think she’s going to be able to carry that so she’s going to leave herself a lot longer shot third
Shot in than she would be used to however we keep seeing players get very close to this this hole and no one’s played a good pitch shot so it’ be quite nice to see someone have a full shot in and see what they can make of
It is that bunk as she’s going past now is the one that might be the bit of a problem for her some 75 M 80 M or yards as we’re using this week in front of her situation but she’s well to the right in the thick Bermuda rough and with the wet grass
Complicating the issues as well you can he the water that’s in the Fairway there as heart pulls up this was her t- shot the second extra hole we actually thought that was a lot worse it looked like it was heading for the woods but obviously we find out it’s
An embedded ball boun at all which was pretty lucky really Mis opportune there with the ball plugging as it did and we rejoin her live right here the rangefinder out working out exactly what they’re trying to do see some overhanging branches there as well
Might be a bit of a problem not easy to shake the ball out of this Puda rough so you take a chance if you line up left and try and fade one there’s the siren blowing twice to Signal the resumption of play and a cheer from the crowd
Ringed around the 18th as well and now they’re going to see this Championship concluded now the storm has passed through nothing else on the radar and that’s a good sign and we’ll see uh who takes out this may Bank championship for 2023 okay well she’s obviously placed
The ball back down where she thought it was we can now see some of the ball which is a little bit strange however she obviously got a very good break huh sure has Trish 85 yd to the back to the back of that bunker in front of her it’s come out
Low and she’s got over the first one how far is it running it’s gone into the second it looks as though that might be the case I think it ran up the face Warren and then back down to the the flat part of that second bunker which
Was another 20 yard or so on just flexing that right wrist as well that was very heavy contact through that thick rough on the right hand side as well there so so she hasn’t tweaked a wrist trying to just massage that out of the rough up ahead s booty here will have to
Wait because it’s still TI titon who’s away here yeah now her ball was lying pretty decently in the rough she was obviously picked it up well put it back down and you should be able to see all of the ball you move faster later these bunkers
Aren’t the most penal I have to say as long as you’re not right up the face of them they give you a chance the lips on them aren’t too extreme she’ll have something like 140 yd from there to the front of the green and then an extra 30 to the flag so it’s
Going to be a shot of around about 170 yard very firm sand now given all the rain we’ve just had the lip as you say not the most penal bunkers you’ve ever seen should be low enough that you can get a a club something here in the regions of a fine
To get back to where that flag is yeah you could even get a rescue out there I think you could just cut one a rescue up make sure you uh get plenty of flight on it shouldn’t be a problem should it Michael no it shouldn’t be true she’s
Got 165 to the pin we’ve been talking about it all afternoon tucked up there in the back right and and as you just said she’s back further you know she’s not right up against the face here but uh she hasn’t gone with the rescue got nine Out she’s nipped it cleanly is it enough Club yes it is finds the green a long way from the flag but in better shape as he was first time around at the first playoff half so on in three is to about to play her third below her feet but as you can see
Pretty good angle to that back pin yeah also this might help a little bit as well with the pin just on the right hand side there all she’s got to do is just aim at that middle of the May Bank just on the just on maybe the the Y
Of the May Bank on the uh stand at the back and just let the slope do the rest should just gently Fade to the right hand side up where the flag [Applause] is it will be a very similar but so what she had at the first extra hle yeah well
I think you’d have to say that she’s in the driving seat at the moment it’s a long two put for Tian no question about that I have to say this golf course drains unbelievably well it’s hard to imagine quite how heavy that rain thunder and lightning and the rain that
Came down was and you’d hardly even know it it was torrential while we were off the air for that almost hour and a half between going off at 2:47 p.m. local time here in quo and resuming just 5 minutes ago so tium here come up the
Slope screed the edge of the green there while buer much for more straightforward putt fairly straight putt at that as well the first one went slightly right to left at the hole itself so had a bit of a putt on the practice screen to get a feel for the
Pace off the back of all that rain it’s a long one here for the 20-year-old TI yeah this is a difficult one obviously with the amount of precipitation that’s fallen in the last hour and a half regardless of the fact of the drainage system here being magnificent this will definitely be well
It was a slow putt to begin with now it’s going to be Mega slow so she really does have to I would put money on this coming up short almost a double break up by the look of it you feasted your eyes on this Michael well Trish we’ve been saying all
Day it is a part that you have to be firm with it’s all uphill remember she had the in regulation a 75 footer this is around about 50 ft she’s given it a good old thump up the hill excellent for weight outstanding happen oh that was tremendous to get it
All the way back to the flag given we’ve had 90 minutes of inactivity and to jump out and to tap it in for a five given that we thought off the te the second extra hole she might have almost been out of flight yeah very
Much so I have to say I almost feel as though that was such a long part it was perfect cuz it was almost a full back swing it was one of those that you just absolutely have to nail and she did exactly that brilliant
Effort dare I say a bit of deja vu here for Seline about the same length that she had in the first playoff Hall crowd out here is stayed it’s fantastic so many people have stayed to watch this conclude they all had to Scurry for cover because it was coming down in
Sheets of water yeah point about half an inch we got in that little burst for birdie and the win of this Maybank Championship Seline Butier lips out oh it looked good for so long left to right there after her earlier part from a slightly different angle went just the other way again hared in fives at the second extra hole and they’ll head to the par three 15 to continue this play
WoW how unlucky was that what an exceptionally good putt that was when she hit it I actually thought it was too far left but it straightened up unbelievable quickly and just I think just the pace a fraction harder that is right in the middle but here she’s
Thinking I’ve got it I’ve got it that has to be in so unlucky number 15 well she was doing almost the limbo trying to just a bit of body language make that dive in the right Edge and it looked as though it was going to somehow stayed out this was the first
One the first extra hole slightly different angle that one went right to left and died right in the Jaws and then from an adjacent area maybe four or five yards closer to the back of the green it went the other way great read on both occasions from Seline buer oh I think
She’s hit two excellent putts to be perfectly honest you know you you have a putt to win I don’t think you can do a lot more than she’s just done there whove been in the box seat both of the extra holes now they go to the par 31 15th playing at
178 M across the water here the bunk as that bleed down into the water itself giving you a beach like effect in the pin today up in a flat section to the rear on the right hand side of this elongated green not much Breeze to speak of at the
Moment it’s hardly been a factor all week here at Pila Golf and Country Club so much elevation change either between the T and the green I think the tour official there is just sort of trying to explain to them that they’re going to play this hole and
If this hole is halfed then we go back to the original plan and go back to 18 again I think yes and then we just keep counting back between 18 and 15 until we have a winner this is a cracking hole 15 really do like it it’s just a shame in a way
That the pin isn’t on the left hand side so in regulation this is where they hit it to booty a 21 ft under the hole two ped for par 12 ft above the hole it was the first of three birdies he made in the final four holes to force this playoff
It really got things going as you can see if you can get it up there on the same section as the flag it’s a big Advantage taking out some of the slopes in this once again multi-tiered green I always think this is the advantage going first on a path three
Get one in there tight put the pressure on make your opponent really think about it you have to hit the green so Rish it is a full-on match play situation here Seline going first not entirely sure she got all of that it’s gone left probably it’s been high it’s okay y
She’ll take it and I guess AIA we had the L I have the luxury following her in regulation play she’ll have some good memories from uh this hole before see that flat section there dish the pin sits on back of the green and she flew it over the flag to 12T so Bier
On in regulation this is the third extra hole this is towering it’s on its way a little right there you go one left side one right side just come up a fraction short with that one that’s going to be a tricky one it’s just on the corner of that little
Shoulder there it’s going to be a bit of a right to left breaker it’s not going to be an easy Puck whereas booty a is pretty straightforward straight AP put up the hill yeah of the two I think you’d prefer to be where Seline boier
Is be easy to make either of them we might be destined to head back to 18 it all will be revealed right here the third hole of this sudden death playoff between Seline bouier and T tikun plenty of fans making their way up to the green as well great that they
Hung around yeah amazing um I can’t tell you how awful that weather was the great thing about this Clubhouse though is it gives everybody the chance to shelter somewhere that was not you not the sort of weather you want to be outside in the clubhouse is so big you’d probably fit
Five or 6,000 people in started pretty easily I would have thought it’s massive it is huge ited it’s a huge Clubhouse it’s magnificent uh if you’ve never been here it’s a qu olymp Golf and Country Club 50 m Olympic pool out the front eight Lane Bowling Alley underneath as
Well billiard tables table tennis tables dart boards archery adjacent to the facility here to 18 hole layouts a three tiered driving range blam you’re talking up when are you becoming a member it’s going to save sold you a membership you definitely have absolutely here we are boy are further
Away so should be first to play but as you said a more straightforward putt yeah probably Warren she’s going to come up and over that slope it’s going to break from her left to right and you can see the two tone colors in the green so it’s got to hit
It pretty firm to get get it going and then let it release down yeah neither of them exactly really within you know what you call genuine birdy chances but not like they were in regulation play no well seline’s got about 33 ft here and
Uh probably a foot and a half 2 ft of breake from her left to right come on there Michael stick your neck on the line if you have to pick a winner you’ve got the your you’re there outside you can feel what the atmosphere who you pick who you
Picking I I was hoping you weren’t going to ask me that Trish but I will go ATA okay sine boot needed a fire 64 after being five shots back to begin the final round to record a 21 under her total score matched by her opponent here in the
Playoff and she has this for Birdie slow punt up the hill just the rain that has fallen in the last couple of hours we give it a probably need to give it an extra foot or so how aggressive do you want to be oh she hasn’t hit it it’s under the
Hole it was a big breaker yeah it was a very big breaker she didn’t give enough so over to ATA Now and this part is 27 ft and she’ll be aiming well outside the right of the cup maybe a foot foot and a half just need to pick a point here as a starting aiming line and then let the gravity do the rest that’s right the green slopes
Towards the water it kind of looks like one of those parts though you start it out right and you hit it too far out right and it’s actually going to go right it’s right on the shoulder here got to get this bang on [Applause] line only needed a little more
Weight there be a tap in three Ty tiun and Bier with just outside two feet before par back up the hill Oh the crowd are loving this it is really good great drama and now the pressure back on Seline very good read by the 20-year- old and
Now I didn’t think there’s much in this it’s just firm right in the heart surely may be right right half if you have to pick a side but yeah not much in it at all we will go back to 18 after three playoff holes we still can’t separate sine bouten and Ty
Titk you have to think we we’ve got to see someone make a birdie because 18 is not really a hole that you’re going to I say fingers are crossed you don’t make six on you have to think it’s going to be a birdie then if we play 15 may be a
Little different different matter we could be in for a long night well quite possibly they’ll race down to the 18th T weather issues have since left us so there’s no dram about getting this in in the available time it’s only 4:38 local time here at colala golf and country club so at least
Uh say 2 hours 15 left of daylight we won’t need that long you wouldn’t think or hope to get this Championship decided such a near thing sine butier on that part the second extra hole which lipped out in the end a good twac from TY tiun
Who was in trouble off the T to make second to sex five both pared 15 and racing back down to the 18th t as we speak yeah you would think that this uh this little bit of rain on 18 has made this possibly it was reachable for Tian
In regulation play not sure it will be now 18 par five 523 yards pinned back right today all about hitting the Fairway and then just laying up into the perfect position as I said Titan did manage to hit the Green in regulation fantastic Tac really was tremendous from the best part of I
Don’t know 30 yards away really with that little bit of rain that’s come down if you hit it into the rough it’s going to be really tricky really Tangy stuff now two shots all important got to hit the Fairway looking over the 18th green you
Can see the flag there in the bottom of your screen tucked right in the back right corner of the green itself CS doing over with been charged up and good to go a definite C courses I made a major error earlier on in the uh in the week I
Tried to go out in the morning and sort have a quick look at the um the pins and I was a little bit late coming back so I tried to take a shortcut what I forgot was these carts as soon as you go off
The cart path they pack in so I was in all sorts of trouble for a minute oh Trish you’re right it is a car course and I’ve just walked it legged it here up 18 Fair away getting in his 10,000 steps today well and truly Michael O DWI I am but
It’s good you wouldn’t want to be anywhere else at the moment now who holds their nerve that’s the question isn’t it so just you asked me before and ATA she is so calm it’s incredible how how she looks at the moment and Seline well she’s a difficult read as well
You’re never quite sure she’s also vinary K and as you said that 64 today must have been some round or was some round so now it’s you know it’s just shootout and out here will be a lot longer off the T V Seline maybe that might be the advantage here she’s got to
Go left side that left rather than get into where they were before in the right Fairway a little softer than it was quite obviously earlier on after all the rain we had during our break of 90 minutes Wonder here if T couldn’t even get the same amount of run that she did
In regulation and then the first exra hole it’s a lot softer War you know she had 260 yards in regulation then 255 but she was above the feet were above the ball you’ll remember and you know moose it out right so Seline again it’s her
Turn bouncing out of the cut the tea in the ground Seline budia here still with the honor fourth extra hole this may Bank championship for 2023 maybe just down the right hand side maybe no down the left and finish Center Trish she’ll be happy with
That they are a bit hard to pick up now here with this light out here but you would expect at to be well past this one she looks like she’s giving that a bit of extra Welly no run on that whatsoever though so I’d be very surprised if she can get
Near the flag near the green sorry yeah no run it’s it’s stopped it’s it’s about 10 or so yards ahead of where she was before near that train but she’s on the hill not ideal there for Tien but no drama done might turn it though into a
Definite three shot hole here once again back at the par five 18th booty down the left hand side caught out by the ball above her feet at the second extra hole where she hooked wildly onto the hill but was still able to make five or unlucky not
To make four that lip out denied her the championship so here they are walking down the fourth extra hole the funny feelings playoffs they really are the longer you go the more you think oh just come on you know you it’s like the first hole okay if it’s
Over and done with you give your best somebody makes birdie then so be it but once you down to your fourth hole now now you’re thinking okay I really don’t want to lose this I’ve been out here I’ve worked I’ve played my 18 holes I’m now into my fourth hole I really really
Want this and it’s don’t make a mistake it’s like who’s going to be bold who’s going to have you know be brave try and do what is required you got to make a birdie it’s as simple as that how you can do it thinking out what’s the
Easiest way the best way no one’s actually hit a decent approach shot into this hole yet not inside well the closest we’ve seen is booty on the last and that was the last time we played 18 and I’d say she was all over 20 ft somebody give yourself a chance give
Yourself a full shot in and Pitch it all the way back it’s not that difficult there plenty of birdies at 18 in regulation today despite the pin being up in that back right corner so a four is very much in the Reckoning for either of these two players see
There po positions earlier on from our second extra hole where TI was way to the right hand side it’s been a long day for both players Selen booty here toed off at 8 :55 this morning would have been at the course somewhere around 7:00 a.m. or
Just after a bit of stretching in the room and then warming up going to the range having a putt having a chip uh Ted off at 855 uh hot steamy conditions all the way through her round had to wait to see if there was a playoff and then two
Holes into the playoff or a hole and a half then had an hour and a half off I mean mentally hard to stay sharp over this length of time yeah very difficult I saw my Stark earlier after she played nine holes and uh you know the weather
Was really boiling hot and she was saying every alarm call this week has been 4 something 4:30 that is such you know you’re not getting a lot of sleep it’s energy sapping out on the golf course you’ve got a fairly long trip back to the hotel each day it is not
Easy on these players physically and obviously when you physically get a little bit tired their mental fatigue can take over as well coming up to the point where it’s almost 8 hours after Seline booty began her final round second here at the fourth extra Hole sh well this looks all right off the club going a little left got a nice bounce and K back towards the center of the Fairway so she’ll be pleased with that back a bit further than she has been now live at his is not great great oh that’s an understatement
Michael looks a bit of a shocker it is a shocker and that’s come out as a shocker get going oh and she just landed the bunker and got a good kick so you remember before she was in the bunker on the left hand side she’s on Fairway now and out of that bunker
Before she hit a seven IR so I’d expect an eight seven or eight here for next Sho in well yet again you’d have to say advantage boutier and the fact that she’s got a full shot in this time I think is uh is the one we will see her
Hit probably a shot within 10 ft so Tian she really hasn’t been in this since she’s made her birdie in regulation play She’s sort of just sort of hanging on at the moment hit two blistering shots at the 72nd hole to set up the two-part birdie
But from that point on made a bit of a mess of this 18th py has been finding the Fairway from the second extra hole finding that Landing Zone short of the green couple of less than fantastic chips that she played from short of the green the pitch that
Caught the leading Club Edge and grain did the rest on the club face and stopped her from really getting one close and she’s made passs as a result both times here getting a third look at it in sudden death well Michael it looks like that Titan we’re just looking at the yardage
Book she’s got about 140 fronti so if the pin’s on she’s got about 165 uphill is that about right yeah Trish from I just put a laser on it had 170 that’s that’s that’s a pill with this sort of heavy weather that’s got to be every inch six or five even maybe a
Little baby five iron she’s pretty long but well the interesting thing was the bunker that she hit out of before I asked a cad afterwards and he said it was a seven so I just haven’t been able to get the number here at the moment but you’re right the air is really
Heavy no wind so third shot for Ty 160 yards away that’s a good hit going to the center of the game and flying past the flag to around about 12 ft coming up for birdie what a shot what a shot an absolute Cor of a
Shot that one you could the sound on it was absolutely crisp as can be you knew it from the moment she hit it she was eyeing it up fabulous iron shot there from Tian right okay over to you Seline fairly flat back section of that green slightly down the hill but
Extremely makeable can boier match or better that she’s a little bit further up than I was I thought she would be still not maybe a full shot that’s a bit like that much she had earlier Trish the same [Applause] length one target it’s a one anything you can
Do really got through the ball so well there took a massive divot and it flew like d just beyond the flag watch it again sort off that follow through and hits it to round about 8 ft for birdie would be quite ironic having had three holes of sudden death with all three
Make all three holes being hared in pars they both Harve in birdies well if you had to have a bed on it that’s exactly what you think’s going to happen but the advantage here I think is tians because I think it’s her a put first if you knock that one in the
Pressure on bouer will be substantial there’s not a lot of movement in either of these putts tiam is going to move left to right down the hill of fraction as is bouas but boutas is more straight down the hill very much depends on how Brave you want to be how
Hard you want to hit it whether you’re going to take a little bit of break out of these putts but two tremendous shots in there as they say in the classics fortune favors the brave going to step up and do what she did in regulation where she had six ft
For birdie to force this playoff hit a super putt chance here to be first in with a four yep it’s going to be left to right pick your line and let gravity do the rest it’s tracking it’s tracking it’s in Ty Tien she makes birdie at the fourth extra
Hole applies the blowtorch to Seline butier did I just see a little little punch there a little bit of Celebration just as she knew just as it was just short of the hole there a little punch of the air knew that was in just there fabulous
P that is a really good birdie from where her her drive ended up and her second shot ended up as far back as she was tremendous mid IR set up birdie there’s nothing quite like a match play situation is there just so exciting changes the dynamic totally don’t have to worry now
Boutier this just has to go in so she can be aggressive we know it breaks a fraction from left to Right this to send us to a fifth extra hole which is where we are headed what a clutch PT amazing really amazing stuff at this stage of the game as you pointed out how long have they’ been out there this is just Sensational it really is that’ss off to these two
They putting on a great show it’s exactly 8 hours since Seline buer teed off in the fourth and final round of this may Bank championship and she’s still out there pouring in PS trying to take the tiger trophy it really is something else isn’t it two Gladiators going at each
Other she knew that was in look little just a a little punch of the air don’t see much emotion with Seline very often but yeah she deserved that one [Applause] so again they head back over to the PA 3 15 for the second time both made passs
At the third extra hole well steer it down again they know exactly the yardage in the club they hit before one was left one was right can someone hit one close here to claim this Championship the pi Pipers anybody following along behind having a Vantage Point see has turned into some gripping
Theater here this afternoon well it really is fantastic stuff I mean these two are putting on a hell of a show don’t forget they’ve had an hour and a half as well sat in the clubhouse in the air conditioning weren’t allowed out to practice or any of that because of
Dangerous conditions and they come straight back out and carried on from where where they left off it’s very impressive stuff you know what Trish I might have to go and have a lie down I mean oxygen to the Fairway please it’s just ridiculous out here how good it is so
Good Seline budia has played this whole five times now this week in competition has made five passs well you’d have to assume it’s either time for a birdie or a bogey would you not maybe well she’s got six same Club six IR again I fancy one of them is going to hit this
Very close 178 yds three yds downhill from the te to the middle of the Green looks to be heading left again oh but feeding back down this time a bit more the slope is helping and that is a good [Applause] one yeah pretty decent she likes bringing that in from left to right on this h a nice little kick off that slope
She’s got a nice uphill put there for birdie in regulation today she had 21 ft up the hill from a similar range see how that compares to what she’s got now This is toing for Matthew looks to be right side again but be yeah she really got a good piece of that adrenaline yeah it’s similar to what she had first time around in the playoff the third extra hole but just falls off the Ping surface itself and that will be
Again part that diving right to left down the hill yeah I think she’s a little bit further up though more she was below the ridge on the first time but I think she’s a little bit closer so she won’t have quite so much right to left but she does unfortunately she has
A little bit of the semi- rough to go over which is going to be tricky with the how wet it’s been out there that might just slow it down a little bit but you’d have to say advantage boutier so this is playoff hole number five three straight passs between them twice
On 18 once here went back to 18 made birdie we are here at the fifth extra hle trying to find a winner as we returned to qua for the first time in number of years after a break on the schedule from the the LPGA Asian s wing
For an event here at this qu olymp Golf and Country Club to layout facility it’s the first time the women have played the West CO it’s been quite the venue this week let’s take a look at the playoff to this point just a recap how we got here from earlier on third playoff
Hole pz up and over the ridge diving below the hle she would roll that in for a three TI for a long time there this looked pretty good yeah it really did tap more pace and I think she holds it go to one of the player HS but just dies at the
Hole and takes a left turn pretty good effort from where she was Though Bo here first away here I think she’s first away look like she was further away asking each other a question I think who is away here I think we might have to get a bit of if I looked it from this angle I would have thought to come but
Oh there you go she’s 15 ft according to our calculations so although they’re not convinced it’s as clearcut as that well that’s pretty clear cut 15 ft 24 ft a tire it’s you let’s be h honest I think they’ve settled on that now she going to leave the flag
In I know they got that this is 10 ft girls they want a measuring device used but here’s Lauren Lauren has comeing out most official from the lpj to have a look sel’s Cy Jeff snow did some pretty prominent pacing there CR bucker one of the officials
This week looking after things on the rules committee and he does agree it is that tiun first play you can see she’s got to get over that just that tiny little bit of semi- rough if you like and then it’s going to be downhill this is going to be quite a
Quick putt it’s just that first but she’s got to get the right pace on it and if her last part was anything to go by going to be a little bit right to left once it gets on the [Applause] green same result as first time around a couple of holes ago in this
Playoff yeah pretty good effort never quite got it started far enough out never really gave it a chance but a good solid part I think this is Boo’s chance Michael pretty straightforward put this one yes Trish and to quote you she’s just got to give it a bit of well uphill don’t be
Shy and she won’t be of course this is uh to win the first ever May Bank Championship on the lpj Maybe a little bit of turn yeah just a fraction is it going to go a little bit left to right up the hill a fraction
I would say not too much went had a little before half a cup maybe cup absolute you don’t want to give too much of it away right angle from behind just taking an extra moment to make sure line of the ball is exactly well as he want it you can see the water
Behind her it’s a mirror likee finish at the moment no Breeze at all so still chance to make a little bit of History once again for the French [Applause] woman break as much as she thought no Trish was right there was only a hair in it didn’t break and away
We go again you know we talking about gladiators before a big puff of the Cheeks from Seline and it was a pretty big world title fight last night and uh this just feels like that it’s a it’s punch counter punch amazing only snagg is you can’t win this one on [Applause]
Points needs to be a knockout blow here in quala at the moment we’re about to go to playoff hole number six been out there for 50 minutes after this one resumed at 4:15 p.m. local time and they will head back to 18 once more very different reactions from the two
Players there Tire laughing a bit thinking you know it’s quite enjoyable quite funny s was puffer the cheeks as if to say seriously we going again she’s now in her ninth hour of work today not including warm-ups and stretching earlier on yeah it’s been a long old day out
There so look down on the scene there at the 18th of par five we’re headed back there once again I don’t want to attempt fate here Trish and Michael but of course the longest ever LPGA playoff was nine holes we’re at number six at the moment right what’s your
Point it’s uh my point is I think they picked two holes here for the playoff it’s hard to separate them on quite obviously yeah it really is 18 was always going to be one of those holes I think someone’s going to run run out of steam soon or later that’s really
And that’s unfortunate you know that it’s going to be probably be determined by someone’s well just exhaustion almost it will’t be the dark we’ve got plenty of Light which is good news that puff of the Cheeks from Seline boier may be a sign there that she is starting to feel the tension the
Pressure and the effort to be out here after been a long trying day she’s probably just thinking you know what if I just hit that putt on 18 in regulation play Tad harder I wouldn’t have had to go through all of this she’s lipped out twice that 18 hasn’t she and
Either times the putt going in would have won her the title once at the 72nd hole once of course at the second extra hole both parts looked very good it did she’s been brave though she had to hold the putt on the back of tian’s Birdie
Down the hill never looked out that part so well Trish Warren I’m back in position would you believe for t- shots of 18 have you not got a cast out there yourself got a don’t worry I’ve come and did one I just fell out of it when Warren said a nine hole
Playoff give the likes here at qua Golf and Country Club Michael a hovercraft might be you might be able to cut some time off and just cut across the course in your hovercraft absolutely well you know I think you’re getting an honory international membership Warren so you
Might be the man to sort me out and you know that puff of the cheeks that you could see visibly and she walked past me Seline and you could just say you know I started it whenever it was 8:55 did you say with the T time yes he now in her
9th hour of work yeah so uh it might just be that war of attrition and physical energy zapping out here but we’re getting ready to send one away on 18t again she likes it she likes it bends down picks up the tea that’s good and really is just fantastic it is
An amazing experience this event a firsttime event loved the week loved the experience and then to have a playoff like this with two International Superstars is fantastic really is TI toen here see if she can find the Fairway she struggled the blocks down the right hand side in the Playoff well she’s gone left side this time or not quite as long as earlier but uh pretty darn good I can see her giving that a rip with a three-wood trying and get as close as possible to that front edge 100% if Trish Johnson was her coach
Now that would be exact the strategy wouldn’t it Trish rip it would certainly would wish I was our coach geez that’d be a fun job wouldn’t it now just turn up on the Range take a couple of videos and say PA looks good bad on mate you’re good Go With It Believe In
Yourself 14 years of age she was when she won her first L event in Thailand the Thailand open remember everybody saying oh this young kid 14 year Won Won an event was like cracky how can you let a 14-year-old beat you all then you realize ah yeah that’s cuz she was
Pretty darn good even at 14 she was always destined to be a superstar has been world number one very briefly earlier on this year not for long but uh I’m pretty sure although there’s going to be a lot of young players all vying for that number one
Spot she will get back to that position at some stage soon member of the team that won the Crown America earlier this year 11 top 10 this season remarkable consistency a two-time winner on tour she’d like to win this individual event to really round out a great 2023 campaign with
Still big events to come including the race of the CME Globe Championship yeah very much so so let’s take a look and see what they did off the te not much difference there there in the length of both of them 253 off the te for bouier 260 for
Tiun should be relieve that she’s found the Fairway after being down that right hand side in the rough and the uh the softer ground during this playoff you know Warren it’s a flat stance for at here as well so she’ll like that she’s got 268 when she it’s her turn to play
268 to the pin you remember she hit the green before with 260 but the air is a lot heavier now you can just feel it’s so humid it really really is very energy sapping and Selen will be first to play She’s Got 277 to the pin we know she
Can’t get there but it’s Trish where will she land because she last time you know she was up a little too close really for her and hit it in there finish with a birdie of course is she going to play that strategy or I haven’t seen her change her strategy at all on
This Hal so I have to think especially after the last time she hit a pretty good approach shot didn’t she she did so she must feel like she’s got that down pat now personally I’d prefer to have the full sort of you know sand iron in the
May maybe the sort of 75 80 y where you can give it everything but these players seem to like having the shorter shot okay well she’s ready to go Again oh was a good strike they like it from behind and that’s just fine it’s almost the exact same position I would say just about just about her body language off the back of that missart on 15 a moment ago at the fifth extra hole suggested she was a little
Fatigued but she’s uh responded to Ironclad shots so far on this 18th now T she going to lar up this one right going left don’t think it’s going to get there though Trish oh not even close Michael not even close yeah heavy air heavy air right I’ll just walk up a again if
That’s okay from the second shots there to the the green itself both of them once again you wouldn’t know this is whole number six of the sudden death playoff she’s had this attitude this demeanor all day as a 20-year-old ATA TI she’s fun to watch isn’t she oh great
Fun and good attitude there are to emphasize the point earlier on our insights by KPMG 11 top 10s without an individual win so far in 2023 yeah very impressive fway fway has actually had four top fours this year just just hasn’t quite Got Over The Line casasso Nelly cord interesting isn’t it
You look at Nelly cord’s stats there and you think she’s had a shocker of a year that shows how good a player in Nelly cter is we just expect so much because she’s just such a phenomenal ball Striker but Seline bouer has had the year of her
Life you and talked to her earlier in the week and said what were her expectations has she changed her goals well of course she had to change her goals cuz her goals were not to be first on the race to CME Globe but after she
Won EV on and then backed it up with the wing at Scotland having won three events this year already she suddenly finds herself at the very very top of the race to C globe with just three events to go yeah quite openly said earlier this week
Off the back of uh what she’ done so far this season that the number one spot really was her goal to take out that race to the CME glow here she is next to the uh drain there in the collection area short of the 18th green is their 24th hole of the
Day that sort of hurts my head when you say that Lauren it’s almost become a mini solheim cup day oh was the crowd here for it that’s it’s got a bit of that feel and she has 77 yd to the pin now yeah that’s quite a nice yardage cuz
That’s a sort of you know almost a full 60 on that up slope though maybe not the club she wants to hit maybe get a little bit too much spin so maybe just take it down to the 56 or 55 if she’s got that
And just a 3/4 sort of shot she’s on the flat which is nice just trying to get as good a lie as she can get you’re allowed one Club length of course placing this week due to the due first thing in the morning more than anything else but also I think
Just in case the huge downpour game they knew it’s so it’s hard to we had a downpour for an really when you when you look at the state of this course can credit to the superintendent and the entire team it is Amazing play a nice shot from in this vicinity the fourth extra hole made birdie to extend it TI also making a four booty a first to play almost heading straight at it just over the back and berries in the Bermuda rough as well I was sort of expecting that to for
Her to play a higher shot that Trish was talking about but they came out quite flat was more a full swing that’s for sure but that has that has flown well at least 5 yds past the flag and that cannot have been what she was expecting so advantage to tium
Here he’s throwing this right up at it trying to get to that back here didn’t quite get there and she think that’s a four out of 10 given the opportunity she was just presented with the only thing I will say is that is not an easy up and down
For her playing partner bouer it looked like it sat down in that heavy stuff behind it it’s going to be a pretty quick chip so I’m not sure she knows that I she was eyeing on the side of caution just again didn’t quite give it
Enough booty this is going to be a tough shot especially with the wet grass now as well wouldn’t have been too easy before the downpour but now will have really sat down and grabbed just going to need all her levels of ability to get this shot
Close now Trish I’m I’m not you saying bolt so I haven’t been able to get up there and have a look at that lie actually Michael we can see you so no we’re absolutely sure one you’re definitely not you saying bolt and two we know you haven’t seen it look good on
Both counts this is very difficult can’t see any of the [Applause] ball she’s got to keep accelerating through this what she can’t do is just sort of slow down on it cuz that will just get tangled up got to keep the pace up but keep the club face underneath the ball make sure
She keeps the club face open all the way come on not bad from where she was herself just on 3T for par you see see the ball there it’s very much a stabbing motion almost no movement with the lower half popped it out very nicely yeah
Pretty well played to be honest you can see the keeping the club face Square there making sure it doesn’t get tangled up quick quick shot down the hill that one so we’ve seen this Puck before this is the one that goes right to left ever so slightly that boutier
Had earlier on which finished maybe a ball and a half short right in the heart that was back at the first playoff hole here we are at the sixth play Hall and this for the win it’s passed once [Applause] again toan first in with a five and still pressure here on the par
P of Seline bu here which might be just a little bit more than 3 ft I think it’s could be near Four Warren yeah yeah it’s not a gimme by any stretch great speed just always on the low side left Edge [Applause] perhaps again it’s find your line let
Gravity let the hill let the slope do work this is pressure right here to send us back to the 15th the PA three for a third time and a seventh extra hole well done very good up and down another a relieved look on the face of the 29y
Old she’d only go and whole work wouldn’t she outstanding that was a very funny look she just had on her face just one of total exhaustion but you know you’ve just got to keep going give it what you got number 15 they walk to the 15th T once again
When the playoff began my little notebook here in the qu box I just drew a line across the page thinking well I only need one or two of these boxes I filled out six of them now we’re going to number seven yes it’s uh don’t know it doesn’t seem watching it it doesn’t
Feel like we’ve had that many holes but I’m sure Michael would say the complete opposite as he’s walked every single one of them I reckon we’ve had a few holes Trish yeah I thought you might say that closing in on the alltime record of nine
On the LPGA Tour as far far as playoffs are concerned at some point somebody will hit one close I’m confident in saying here at 15 or someone’s going to hit a shocker they they both yeah absolutely I think they know that you’re flying home tonight I think that’s what they’re doing they’re
Thinking oh there’s some debate about that right now I can tell you it’s getting close come on girls let’s sort this out now it’s it’s really interesting to me we’re seeing a very different demeanor he looks like Tian is thoroughly enjoying this H but to be fair to Seline there
You can see they’re having a little com flap yeah she’s smiling you know now it’s got to this stage where it’s are you Delirious I don’t know I might be Delirious I’m not sure and they’re having a giggle so good on them but the crowd are just lapping it up as I’m sure
Warren is and you are Trish and if Sandy could bring you know a cold drink out at some point I mean she’s very clever she knew it was going to go to a playoff didn’t she Sandy would love to bring you a cold drink out but unfortunately she’s a little bit worse
For wear with her poor foot and like gvis she’s left the building and also she’s left the building guess what club six iron well done thank you going left again she likes that though going to come in up past the p and is that going to come back down no stays
There that’s interesting same Club again pitched about two or three yards longer any of the other shot she’s hit in there a little bit of a adrenaline still she’s got going there now Tian hasn’t hit a shot left of this flag yet everything’s been up the right hand side eventually I feel like
She’s going to get one bang [Applause] on talking to it talking to it and it was listening is a beauty all over it you can tell she liked it the moment she hit it bit unlucky not to just get a tad More release that would have been literally a taing birdie abely you
Called it you said she was duw and that was all over [Applause] fantastic see just saying please be the club please be the club that’s online be the club and it was huge chance now to make two she have to sit back and wait see what SEL buia
Can do first start from Beyond the flag booty will have a putt coming slightly down the hill bending left to right the advantage now very much for the 20-year-old from Thailand very much so I was just thinking if you were a punter coming in here to watch this
Today my word and you’ve got no allegiance to either player you are literally having a whale of a Time aren’t you don’t want this to end these poor players they’re going to be on their knees exhausted and the fans are just ah go on crack on keep going
Brilliant fun great to watch when the storm hit to stop things Midway through the second extra H we might have had some fans who said boy there’s some free golf happening over there I might race out and have a look and well they’ve got an extra five holes to this point
Yeah it’s been amazing entertainment two players going at it hammer and Tong this is a really good opportunity for the first time for the tie player wouldn’t put it past boier to knock this in though it’s the sort of things that happen in playoffs it’s just there’s no
Rhyme or Reason to who wins a playoff ever people often think that it’s always the player that sort of has the momentum going into the playoff doesn’t work like that really doesn’t there’s no set sort of course for how a playoff goes at the line here right around the
Hole just to see what it will do as it loses speed on that last 4 to 5 ft now I’ll look from behind as well the overall part well waren now our great team from virtual eye have just told me she’s got 27 ft downhill left to
Right and attia is in there about 12 ft straight up the Hill looks like it just has to go to the right in that that last 4 to 5T region without doubt I think I think the difficulty is I think the very first bit here goes right to left so she’s just trying to figure out okay I know it goes
Left or right at the hole but it’s the first bit that goes right to left off the bat how much is that then going to come back it might make this putt almost straight in all honesty but you’ve got to get it started on absolutely bang on
The right line she had a little walk about halfway down then didn’t she just to check out that first bites hat Trish is at 27 ft yeah Pace shouldn’t be a problem Michael because it’s downhill yeah she’s definitely allowing a lot more right to left boutier for birdie at the seventh extra hole
Didn’t do as much early on as she thought no it looked like she over read that slightly but it’s easy for us to say it just I think we’ve seen that putt quite a lot today it was a positive putt though gave it every chance
As we heard from our virtual eye team 12 ft left here for titum back up the slope and again not a lot in this part no but I think we know this one is going to fall if you don’t keep the pace up it’s going to fall to the left up the
Hill if you keep it Pace up not a lot in it maybe just sort of Right Center how aggressive is she going to be this for the win seventh try an extra time just a straight pull off the club face wasn’t it so taping again and for buia to make
Round round about a 3o four par this if she does make it we’ll head to playoff hole number eight this is not straightforward I don’t think this is as easy a put as most people think this is not a gimme it certainly isn’t Trish I
Agree it’s a one that she’s got to be very positive with as you said if it loses Pace it can dive what to her left talk about Rumble in the Jungle Thriller and Manila this is just amazing in Malaysia and our hydration levels are rapidly disappearing this to keep it
Going let’s do it again we head to playoff hole number eight and we are closing in on history in a number of ways here in qu Lumpa this afternoon well this is extraordinary really is did think that putt from tium wasn’t as easy as it it looked she didn’t hit a good Putt well they have both had chances to get this done after being tied at 21 underpar at the end of 7 2 holes she was almost doing the limbo there Seline boutier tiken at 15 earlier on at the third playoff hole had that miss that was for a
Make but then matched with a birdie four by Seline boutier at the fourth playoff hole they went to 18 once more at the six playoff hole and that one slides past pass peum so that long pass saving putt there the booty had left it went in they part
Again at 15 they’ve been there three times this will be the fifth time we’ll have seen the 18th in the playoff well hard to know what to say anymore it’s uh it’s extraordinary really they have picked two holes as you said 18 is always going to be one of those holes that uh
You’re never going to make Eagle unless you hold your third shot so you’re you know it’s not a it’s not a tough hole 18 is actually probably one of the easier holes on the golf course it’s just where the pin position is today that’s the
Tricky bit so we were always going to be tough but I thought 15 might might come in handy someone might make a deuce on that hole Yeah I really thought uh a Tian would make that part just there up the slope just a little right to left I
Mean it was right in her wheelhouse wasn’t it yeah it was a p stroke maybe just a bit of a tired stroke in all honesty can’t blame these players if they’re getting a little bit fatigued we’ve been out here a long time now well you’re hanging in there guys I
Like the sound of it that’s good that’s got to be good I I just saw Bill Murray and a groundhog just a moment ago well I don’t know if it’s going to be a Cinderella story but uh boy it’s going to be a story that’s for sure well
This crowd has not left I must say something of the patrons on the right hand side of the Maybank Hospitality are pretty well primed at the moment but loving it well I’m slightly concerned about you and he’s been up in the hospitality area waiting for the winner for nearly 3
Hours now so um I hope he’s uh I hope he’s just on the Water Well youan Porter needs to come back down and talk to all of us because I think he said his last five events have been a a player and that’s him it’s Yan is’s the
Responsible for all of this he’s the common denominator he is the common denominator Trish that’s right no doubt we’ll get a message from him soon saying it’s got absolutely nothing to do with him no doubt but uh again we’re out here heavy air no wind you guys know the
Story yeah nothing changes on 18 three shotter I wonder if they’ll think in next future years of this tournament perhaps that that t- box goes up 50 or so maybe the t- Box goes up 30 yards with every playoff hole that goes by and
By the in the end we end up 30 yards off the front of the green that’s a novel approach it’s a funny thing that though um I once played in a playoff and uh played in the six hole playoff and there was talk about moving the te forward
After we’ played four or five holes and actually myself and my caddy said well no cuz the other players longer than me so it gives her a massive advantage and that would be the same for TI right here oh absolutely so at the eighth playoff Hall Seline boutier be
H are you getting slightly fatigued yourself the heat is really starting to take it effect look at that lovely shot right hand side of the Fairway eight playoff holes Warren I’ve run out of ink in the pen s’s yardage book is an absolute mess now tiken with the
Driver she’s picked tpeg up pretty quickly and very good feelway find it once again both of them on the short grass it’s been tough work for the players spare aor for the caddies going to get the best part of 27 holes so who knows how long this goes on
For today uh they could just walk off the course and go jump straight into the 50 m Olympic pool out the front and they might be joined with a several cases of beer by our TV crew the hardworking crew out there with cameras audio assistants um we have our radio frequency
Assistants as well bringing you the pictures and the sound back to our TV compound to be beamed out to the world so ladies and gentlemen of the crew congratulations to your efforts over the the past four days in extremely trying conditions I know we’ve mentioned the
Heat and the humidity a lot while we’ve been here in quoma but you can’t Trish overemphasize uh just how draining it can be out there for any length of time absolutely no massive massive shout out to all the boys and girls that have worked the TV Camera men camera women
Everybody out on that golf course and here where we are long hours and hopefully we putting together uh a fantastic product but it’s been these two women now well they are deep into the well seline’s deep into her ninth hour out on the golf course which uh if
You actually get your head around that that’s pretty much two rounds of golf is the gist of that and she’s still going strong they are providing us with some amazing entertainment yeah and the caddies wow this is not a short golf course and to walk it as much as they
Have they are doing a magnificent job now we’re talking about history a moment ago and longest playoffs in LPGA history I mentioned the nine-hole playoff between G shin and Paula Creer back in 2012 G Shin eventually winning that one at the ninth extra Hall the Kings Mill
LPGA um the boffins have been going back through the history books they made a correction the longest LPGA playoff in history was 10 holes corus Christie back in 1972 oh can they give us a guess playoff of 1972 give us give us a bit of a clue
I’ll see if I can come up with a I don’t know who was involved oh well that’s no fun so I’ll just I’ll just I’ll I’ll take a wild stab in the dark I’ll go Jane block against I don’t know who should I go for Sally could be right couldn’t it well we’ll
Believe you Trish you said it with authority I got a Scooby to be honest okay so Seline has 275 to the pin and she’s got to go into that lap area again remember what she had before 77 Ys is some where she goes she’s going to try and hit this around about 200
Maybe exactly the same position pretty much just going to put it down that left side of the Fairway give her a good line in yep she started down the right hand side and it’s drawing back beautifully and it should be on the left hand side of the Fairway Trish
Y she’ll do it it over once again she’s been there so many times Waits on while tiun looks at this looking at that opening the front left of the green that didn’t look like the three-wood though no that wasn’t Trish definitely not the three-wood so she’s laying up yeah now
Trish you’re the current US women Senior Open Champion talk to us about mental strength we’ve been talking about the physicality but what’s going on in their minds do you think how do you just lock in here when you’re eight holes deep in a playoff while you think about that
Trish and formulated answer I can tell you that mental strength was pretty much to the four in 1972 at Corpus Christie because Joe andne Prentice defeated Sandra Palmer and Kathy Woodworth whoa there’s some Blast from the Past Kathy Whitworth the most successful they we see in America
Winning this and I know that’s not a word so and I hate saying it but she’s won 88 tournaments Kathy Whitworth unfortunately we lost her last year but what an ambassador for golf Kathy Whitworth was second shot again there of both players we’re at sudden death Hall
Number eight so we’re closing in on Joanne prentis indeed Sandra palman one of my favorite players ever what a player love Sandra palman great little player tiny but what a competitor have you had to think about Michael’s question about the the strength required here yeah I mean the
Gist of it is you’ve been out there for an extra two hours you want to win more than ever now you put your body and your caddy through all the extra work and you just you just look at the your other player in the eye so I’m having you I’m
I’m going to outlast you it’s as simple as that the the will to win is something that you cannot teach people you either have it or you don’t quite have it I don’t believe it’s something you can really teach someone and I have to say both of these
Players without a shadow of a doubt have a massive will to win they just show it in very different ways but the quality of the golf has been outstanding 9 hours now getting for 9 hours she’s been out there listen to that reception they received as they
Walk up to their ball there was still thousand fans around the 18th here oh loads of them no one’s left and as you say some of them might have heard about this that we trying to break Playoff records and get in here but to quote you Trish there a hair in these
Two 64 and 65 yards both of them yeah they’re not pleasant yardages those Michael that’s a sort of half a shot again so we’re we’re back to that situation where no one’s playing a full shot in you’ve got that slight uphill light the grass coming into you the grain coming into
You you got to make sure you make really good contact with this it’s very easy just to catch it a tad heavy well you remember seline’s shot last time around we here were we here a day ago I can’t remember feels like it right at your first
Up how about a hole out for an eagle to separate the two of them after eight holes that’ll be something to see she’s thrown it up there didn’t hold it out but boy just about knocking down the flag almost a tap in for Ty tiu the eighth sudden death
Hle that’s a shot right there what an absolute beauty that was played it to Perfection caught it beautifully just raised the turf pitched it all the way what a absolutely fantastic shot that was now Seline can you respond one one yard less Michael correct 64 yards Trish coming in a lot
Lower oh you are kidding me Pitch marks an inch apart between sine booty here and ATI typical listen to this from the [Applause] crowd well that’s an extraordinary shot really is little bit unlucky if anything she’s just got a little bit of spin back when there the last thing she needed pitched
It almost perfectly well how to respond to a sensational shot from her playing partner come on girls seriously this is ridiculous it’s fantastic [Applause] stuff wow you have to take your hat off you really do just I’ve got a funny feeling there that she’s just pitched into
Titan’s pitch mark and that’s why the ball has spun back that much otherwise it would be absolutely tap in distance and again we might need a a measure off from Lauren Crow Barker here to work out who is first apart you know the crowd just Rose as one and the Ovation of these
Two young women got walking up onto the screen was SP tingling and it is just Sensational theater brilliant how could they don’t look tired in all honesty you know there’s there’s no sort of genuine fatigue that you can see apart from you no mental fatigue is there no not really they’re
Mighty fit that is for sure nicely done bout in for a four for the second time here in sudden death at the 18th about the range of emotions in the last 3 or 4 minutes the titum thinking here I am just outside 2T and then boutier matches it Safely in and we will go to sudden death hole number nine be number it’s a joy to watch it really is Sensational golf I don’t know about you but I’m now at the point I’m nervous over those short ones cuz I don’t want to see somebody miss one of those and lose
Given what we’ve seen here that is exactly it we do not want to see someone make a b to loses we want to see a spectacular iron shot into the 15th or someone make Eagle at 18 it would be so unfair and unjust right now if that wasn’t the
Case oh we have a couple of iron women here what we’ve just seen in the last 5 minutes spares looking at once again what a shot the 20-year-old tie played pitched pin High sat down so quickly just outside 2 feet so much pressure on this particular pitch remembering Seline
Boier last time around flew it over the back and into the thick Bermuda rough what just Sensational stuff really was I think the last two holes that we played Tian must have been thinking okay this is my time the put on 15 up the hill pretty straightforward and then absolutely
Stiff it at 18 but just to be followed followed in with just a really Sensational pitch shot from booty eight can’t separate them let’s just hope and pray that someone how do we finish it with a hole in one how good would that be ninth playoff hole hole in one I’ll
Take it right now you know I’m in for hole in one you know we’re headed for history here the record is 10 I can see us motoring past that it’s currently 5:49 p.m. local time in qual Loa and if you’ve just turned on your TV you’ve missed eight sudden death
Holes they’ve gone blow for blow and can’t be separated Seline boutier still with the honor I just had a chat to a cad Jeff and they’ve been hitting six9 time and pretty much the same set of results they working back closer to the flag all the time getting closer what a
Shot by botier that’s a [Applause] beauty oh it’s going to get dark soon we’ve got think at least an hour left here of playable light just check the radar Trish little more rain out there hopefully it stays away here’s titon again one of these towering lines from ATA she likes it it’s
Unbelievable it is truly unbelievable oh Sensational stuff all over the flag you could tell the moment she hit it she loved it again oh this is just out this World theyve played eight extra holes they booted the 18th both of them twice very makeable birdie parts coming up
Here at number 15 on the layout our ninth extra hole watch these two t- shots once again she started the ball left every time on this ho on purpose it does come round but this one this one she’s judged to perfection got the roll back towards the flag
Maybe seven or 8 ft down the hill I think that’s good well then Tian stands up there six9 again hit a great shot in last time but this one even better all over the flag Sensational Stu well it’s a privilege to be here to see this two ball striking machines in Seline goodier
And also dium and the gallery won’t go away nobody has left those who hung around beyond the resumption when we got back underway at 4:15 p.m. that’s over an hour and a half ago now after what was a 90minut delay nobody has left because they’re enthralled by what
They’re seeing can can you imagine if you’d left thinking whether that they’re either not going to go out and play again or that it’s just too long to wait it’s a bit like going to a football match isn’t it and you leave with 5 minutes to go when your team is sort of
Two- n down or two n up and then you all of a sudden you get outside the ground and you hear this huge Roar and you think oh no and then you get in I I did it once in my entire life I left Arsenal
Tottenham game and we were 4-2 up and it was 90 minutes I’m desperate to get home CU I had to get back for something and they scored two goals and injury time it was four all never been well was I was glad I wasn’t in the stadium cuz we were
4-2 up but it’s just honestly this is such entertainment it really is now what’s going to happen here is TI Go first yep she’s away and not quite exactly straight back down the fall line here there’ll be some movement in this punt but not a
Lot this is a bit about how you want to play this putt it’s at a good Pace at a sort of pace that’s a foot past it’s just on the left Edge not outside it I don’t think no left Edge Trish that’s how I see it [Applause] The well if anything at the hall it went the other way and stays out she just started it outside though didn’t she just just a fraction outside the hole to three for tiuna the ninth extra hole the birdie put coming up for boutier to Win It
Final you have to think that this is finally going to be the end she knows this putt she’s had from this side every time she hasn’t been behind the Hulk but this one will bre break just a fraction more not much in it again I don’t think it’s outside the HT
Surely she has lipped out twice in the playoff once in regulation as well the 72nd hole of the 18th first time around you can’t really say anybody has deserved to win or lose this playoff they hit equally good shots pretty generally every time one’s made a birdie
The other one’s made it on top of them but I do feel this is this is the one for the win at her 27th hole today it was worth the wait Seline boutier is the 2023 made Bank champion after nine sudden death hols they went blow for blow toet to toe
And in the end Seline boier wins for the fourth time in 2023 the C men who plays at the top of the CME Globe rankings and she’ll need more than water after that well what an extraordinary performance from Seline bouier the current leader on the race to CME Globe we were talking
Yesterday when she was struggling on that front nine and even into the beginning of the back nine that even though she couldn’t win the tournament we were pretty much saying well she just has to keep going and make sure she cements her place at the top Wow Let’s
Strike take it straight down to Michael edwi well you said Gladiators and the two young women here that was epic nine hole playoff congratulations Seline what were you thinking um yeah I mean so many things at first just a lot of nerves and then just I feel like we both played really
Well I just knew it was going to come down to who was going to make you know a birdie and I uh yeah I’m just so happy that it’s over to be honest it was just a long day a long week in general and uh
Yeah I couldn’t be uh more proud of my performance this week brilliant What About You ATA fantastic effort to make the playoff and then n more holes yeah I mean so happy for her I mean even two of us who get it I’m still happy for for it
Cuz she like kind of my best sister so far on the lpj tour too so yeah pretty good about this week just um a little bit to get it there well brilliant the Thunder’s rumbling you’ve got to go get a trophy well done fantastic the crowd absolutely loved it thank

Answered oh our prayers were finally answered it was just extraordinary one of those lovely puts you hit and you know the moment you hit it she could tell that’s online the whole way it’s never going anywhere else and it’s got the momentum to carry it into the hole
And that is half of each that is absolute Elation but a lot of relief it’s finally over as well there is no doubt about that nice hand from her opponent with 33 of the last four holes in regulation ATT TI to have been Force this playoff against
Elen buer who had to wait see what was going to happen Jasmine sanura had a chance to make the playoff as well she came up short making bogy at 18 did have converted it and we had nine more holes the playoff began a long time ago I can’t I can’t
Even do the math to tell you the truth how long ago it started yesterday it seems like it seems like that was our May Bank moment of the day the birdie putt there for a lean booty here let’s take a look at our final leaderboard at
The end of what was 27 gripping holes of golf here back in Malaysia for the first time in a number of years Seline Bo here is the May Bank Champion tiun finishes up in second f a 68 today Desmond toan there with roseen who had the overnight lead going into
Round three she led by one p yunen in outright fifth the race of the CME Globe standings that’s a big win for good year it means so much for that top spot going into the championship final in a few weeks time back in Florida yeah Sensational performance really from
Nowhere as well yesterday not really involved in the conversation next thing you know she’s increased her lead at the top of the race to CME globe and that will be one of the most satisfying wins of her entire career well it’s been quite the day a
Very long day the best part of almost 9 hours here on course Wy Ted off at 8:55 a.m. early this morning that’s word taking a look back once again at how Seline boti here fired this 64 in the first place to get the 21 under par and then eventually fined that Marathon
Player yeah birdie at three was followed by putt down the hill for birdie at four great start at the fif the back of two straight bir second of the par fives on the front nine coming over the water wedge in hand back right pin it all worked out very nicely for the French
Woman this is a great t- shot my favorite six iron now we know why loves the six iron this one was into number eight back pin today not too many players getting close but this would release up a beautiful distance just uh no more than 5 ft for yet another
Birdie at the 11 cross the water the par three everybody under reading this putt all missing on the low side booty how pivotal did that turned out to be in the end yeah certainly did she had her putting boots on today hit it close again at 12 though this one just clawed
Its way in that little left hand side and at 13 after finding the heart of the green the second time today she would make three straight birdies this a real bonus at that stage had a lead by two then 16 hit a good wed shot in downhill put with authority never [Applause]
Missing then at 18 so many chances to close it out firstly 72nd hole oh boy it looks good right until it just Eed away at the h yeah there was a bit ging that she thought she had that Tad more pace and it’s in well tell you what a n hole
Playoff she might be tired but what a great way to win she will be over the moon this is the putt that clinched it for her fantastic t-shot used that slope in the middle of the green the saddle kicked it back towards the hole that was crucial gave for that length with but
