Episode 8 - Jeeno’s Bogey-Free Brilliance & the Case of the Missing Penalties

In this episode of Fairway Fates, Doris and Marie catch up after a busy week of birding, brick-laying, and beginner golf lessons. The conversation shifts to a breakdown of standout performances from the Mizuho Americas Open, where Jeeno Titikul remained at the top all weekend and closed out the final 27 holes without a single bogey. The hosts discuss new names making moves on the leaderboard -like Andrea Lee, Stephanie Kyriacou, and quirky favorite Somi Lee - and express frustration over the lack of transparency around LPGA pace-of-play penalties, including a buried mention of Hira Naveed receiving one earlier this season. They preview the upcoming LPGA event in Mexico, highlight the gaps in media coverage, and tease future episodes exploring the league’s founding women and how to fill the storytelling void left by limited TV time.
