Kent and Scottie \"Worldwide\" Leonard break down her win at the 81st U.S. Women's Open at Riviera Country Club — from the 71st-hole birdie to the three-footer that nearly let Charley Hull and Gaby Lopez force a playoff. Worldwide spent the week on-site as a caddy (including ESPN+ Featured Groups coverage with Ingrid Lindblad and Lottie Woad) and explains why Riviera played like a ball-striker's paradise. Plus: why this is the LPGA's third — and best — chance to market Nelly, a Curtis Cup preview at Bel-Air with Kiara Romero's LEAP push, and Schedule Watch on the compressed major stretch ahead. Kent's hot take: move the Chevron to LA or New York for good.</p><p><br></p><p>CHAPTERS</p><p>0:00 Cold Open: \"That Nelly Three-Footer\"</p><p>0:19 Welcome / U.S. Women's Open at Riviera</p><p>1:13 Nelly Korda's Historic Fourth Major</p><p>5:36 The Perfect Storm: Riviera + Hollywood + Nelly</p><p>7:57 The LPGA's Third Swing at Marketing Nelly</p><p>14:55 Riviera: A Ball-Striker's Paradise</p><p>18:25 Strokes Gained: Why This Setup Rewarded Nelly</p><p>21:35 Birdie Fest vs. Ball-Striker Test</p><p>24:56 Charley Hull &amp; Gaby Lopez Nearly Force a Playoff</p><p>28:10 Worldwide's Featured Groups Cameo</p><p>31:37 What LPGA Broadcasts Still Need</p><p>32:07 Curtis Cup Preview at Bel-Air / Kiara Romero's LEAP Push</p><p>36:22 Schedule Watch: Three Majors in Four Events</p><p>42:43 Fix Ideas + Move the Chevron</p>","author_name":"Kent Paisley"}
