Amy Olson 2020 LPGA Season

[MangyOldBison]

Always seems to find a hole that gets her number. Doubled #9
both days. Ouch!! as for me 50 degrees and I'm out. Great
tournament for Hogie so far. Will be in the final group tomorrow.

She just hasn’t quite had it all clicking since her great finishes in Australia and Scotland DORMIE. Seems like she has had to rely on her perseverance and grit more than she should have to. Looking at many of the names above her on this week’s leaderboard, I’m seeing players ahead of Amy whom I truly believe that last year and early this year also, Amy would have had little problem beating. She has been dropping in the Rolex rankings since last year also. Is it consistency or course management or a combination of things? Time for a new or additional swing coach or something else? Would love to see her return to the sort of play that almost won her a major in France. It seems that whatever it is, she is very close to breaking through like Danielle Kang and Gary Woodland did.

Here is to a solid finish this week, and career efforts for Amy in the United States Open and CME Tour Championship! Who else remembers when she lead the event in Colorado while still an amateur?!?


Like Pete Cowen said to Gary Woodland, “Everyone dies but not everyone lives, and you live for this moment.”

It’s golf. Performance is highly variable. I think it’s probable that’s she’s basically the same player today she was circa the Evian perhaps a marginally better one.

While I can’t say that you don’t make a valid or logical point here Audit, your take reminds me a bit of the rousing pregame speeches of former head US soccer team coach Jürgen Klinsmann: https://www.google.com/amp/s/sports....1819576615/amp

That is nice to see, as he has no doubt paid his dues. Here is to his success carrying over to calendar year 2021 and beyond!

Thank you dufferole! She definitely seems to play best lately when she plays aggressively where the course allows it and picks up more birdies even with more of the others.

Pairings for the final round tomorrow:

https://www.lpga.com/tournaments/vol...assic/pairings

This week the whole field splits a check that’s at 1.75 million. The size of just the winner’s check in the next two events is a million or more.

https://thegolfnewsnet.com/golfnewsn...payout-121435/

Amy should just go for broke tomorrow anywhere possible. From where she sits now to the last place check is not a big difference versus the upside if she can climb up that leaderboard. Plenty of chances for defensive play next week and in the finale.

GoAmy..GoBison!!

Another ho-hum round for Amy, she currently sits tied for 63rd. Meanwhile Angela Stanford leads by two over some of the top players in the world and is fighting to hold them off. You will likely recall that Angela is the one who bested Amy in the 2018 Evian major.

Biggies the next two weeks. Amy has done her best work in the type of events coming up!
