"@BrentleyGC Was coming for quoted players not you but I see how it comes off that way and apologize. I respectfully disagree that your characterization of "misses the cut" describes how overmatched she was but think the LPGA's broader collective effort to puff this up is very transparent"

"Good question but nope. "Touching" is fine. He's not allowed to use his opponent for leverage to gain additional height. Which he avoids doing on this play. It's clean @alex_kirshner @AuricGoldfnger I thought you still had to clear the OL without touching. Or is that only if you get the running start @alex_kirshner @AuricGoldfnger I thought you still had to clear the OL without touching. Or is that only if you get the running start"
