5 wins in a row LPGA. 4 out of 5 wins PGA. But there are problems.

GM. This is Easy Pars. The golf newsletter that loves good quality highlight reels.

Here’s what we’ve got for you today:

• Duel domination continues from Scheffler and Korda

• The stark difference between the LPGA and PGA coverage

• Learn the name Miles Russell.

Nelly Korda and Scottie Scheffler are making history

The longest stretch of wins in a row on the LPGA is 5. Nancy Lopez did it in 1978. Annika did it in 2005. Nelly did it yesterday.

Breaking: Scottie finally got to finish his round at the RBC about an hour before this issue went live!

Scheffler has a long way to go to tie Byron Nelson’s 11-win streak (1945), which is likely to remain untouched…for now (gotta see the best player from the next gen, further down this issue).

Korda and Scheffler’s dominance brought something to our attention, which leads to our feature story:

Honestly, LPGA coverage is embarrassing

Ok, so rain delayed the final round of the PGA’s RBC Heritage. It was pushed to 6pm, then 7pm, before getting delayed until this morning.

This gave a great boost to the concurrently running LPGA Chevron Classic.

Men and women, alike, tuned in to see Korda move closer to the Mt. Rushmore of LPGA greats.

But the coverage just isn’t as crisp. Here’s a concrete example:

First, we have a highlight reel from the LPGA’s YT channel. It’s laggy, poorly edited and shot. Really hard to watch tbh.

Now, here’s another video from the Corrales Puntacana, which also took place this weekend (alongside the RBC and Chevron).

Their highlights have excellent quality and even epic music running in the background.

(Side note: Prominent YT golfer and former PGA card holder came in 2nd. Super excited for that!)

To add insult to injury, commentator Jim Nantz called Nelly Korda “Kelly Norda” 😂

Here’s the clip, you’ll have to turn it all the way up:

We love the game. Men, women, juniors — we want everyone to do well and be able to watch.

Hopefully, the production crews and commentators will step up their coverage game!

Miles Russell is going to shock the world

A few weeks ago, we mentioned how a golf YouTuber (Grant Horvat) searched out the best junior player in the world. He found Miles Russell who had already broken a Tiger record.

Russell beat Horvat handly in their stroke play match.

Well, Miles just played in a Korn Ferry qualifying event, at the ripe, old age of 15. He also became the youngest ever to place in the top 25.

That’s history.

He’s now able to play in the Korn Ferry tournament. Still too young to get his Korn Ferry card, but as long as he keeps in the top 25, he can play in tournaments.

Wild stuff. Just remember to bookmark his name. Russell seems poised to explode.

Plus, Miles is a lefty like your boy, E. Gator.

• Every year Rick Shiels and Peter Finch take £500 to a used golf store (GolfBidder) before embarking on an epic match play competition. Here’s this years, it’s really good!

• Fred Couples and Tiger teach you how to hit a 50 yard chip shot. Still so much to teach!

• Golf trip planning season is officially underway. Here’s a review of Pawley’s Plantation, a Jack Nicklaus course design.

Meme of the Day

😂😂

That’s Monday’s issue, golfer. We’ll be back Thursday, which happens to be the start date of the JM Eagle LA Championship, aka Nelly’s shot at 6 wins in a row — a new ladies’ record streak.

Later gator,
