          Seriously, how do you screw up a baton change at this level?

          The higher the level, the faster you're going, so the less room for error.

          You see far fewer baton change fuck ups at club/amateur level, simply because they're moving much slower.

          I agree it’s much harder than it looks but the US didn’t even look like they had trained for it. South Africa was even worse. Dude didn’t even have his hand out.

              If Lydia can get hot with the putter she could smash this

                                    @canefan she lipped out for her par and Korda with 3rd bird in a row for a 3vstroke lead, then went wide with her tee shot on the next hole.

                                          I thought a bronze might have been possible before the final, based on the strength of Hungary and Poland. Belarus spoiled the party.
