Not speculation. On the recent Smashboxx broadcast she said PB did not congratulate her.

ahh.. point taken.

Make of it what you will, but PP on Smashboxx said that she has currently not heard from PB. But, the vibe seems good.

I just re-watched hole 16 from '19 GBO final round. Yeah, that was really bad. And Cat was very fortunate the women ruled her missed put landed in bounds. It sure looked out to me. No excuse for throwing the mini. And Paige's celebration was not over-the-top at all.

Cat has specifically said that it is the yips. and it's been going on for 2 years.

I suppose you could argue that if they are allowed and you are not taking advantage of it, especially during a 5 round tournament in the humid Midwest in August, that you are not putting yourself in the best position to win.

this is so foolish. it's definitely not putting yourself in the best position to win and it's actually pretty childish.

I listened to PP interview on Smashboxx, and Paige really seemed more mad that Terry would even ask about it or bring that up in the first place. Seemed that Paige didn't want to put anyone in a negative light.

Cat is enigmatic for sure. All I know, and all I can comment on, is that she is a really good golfer.

nah, she called Cat "silly" early on, I think it was more like "this shizzle is about me, let's not bring her up again". Justifiably so, 5x.

Maybe I missed it due to skipping around the coverage, but she seemed to be alone on the course, did anyone notice any friends/family around her? No doubt she has the talent to play strong for years to come and if the only thing she has to do is land a few more putts from 15ft in, no doubt she well. I just hope she wants to, the FPO division is better with her playing. I think a change of sponsor (sparking a positive new challenge in her life) might be a good thing.

skimming through and I saw this and didn't see a reply.

I can't recall which round, but at least one of the worlds rounds you can definitely see Austin following Cat as she walks up the fairway. It was a camera shot where it shows her and the gallery behind her. I tried looking for it again but really can't recall when it was.

Regardless, I hope that it's just the yips / nerves getting her and not off-the-course / personal issues holding her back. Because say what you will about her attitude, she definitely is one of the premier talents and makes the FPO division a lot more interesting, and I hate to see anyone be derailed by personal problem / hardships.
