It would be nice if some official of some corporation, perhaps somehow who lives in the desert part time, would take the hint, call LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan and get a conversation started. One of those was the playoff loss in 2017 when she was hit with four penalty shots because of a rules violation reported by a television viewer. Whatever the case, the No. 1 player in the world did everything opposite of what was expected of her at the Chevron Championship this year. “But I know Chevron is going to do amazing things with this event in general, so I can't wait to see what Houston will bring. Maybe that was because fans were back on the course for the first time since 2019, with the last two years played with no fans because of COVID-19 protocols. Some people in the media were surprised when Al Williams, vice president of corporate affairs at Chevron, was hit with a fair amount of boos from fans in the grandstand awaiting Kupcho’s leap into Poppie’s Pond. But that reaction seemed completely normal.
