Lydia Ko liked golf insider’s statement on 'brutal' pace of play at the 2025 US Women’s open

LPGA Tour pro Lydia Ko liked a post of a golf analyst talking about the pace of play at the 2025 US Women’s Open. The Kiwi golfer is playing at this week's women's major and has had a decent outing so far.

On Saturday, May 31, after the third round of the women's major, golf analyst Zephyr Melton shared a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account about the pace of play at the tournament. Sharing the post, he wrote:

"Pace of play is absolutely brutal at Erin Hills today. Leaders teed off at 11:40 and they are just now making the turn. Over three hours to play nine holes"

His tweet was later shared by Golf.com on its Instagram account, with the caption,

Moving Day is not moving fast.

The post was later liked by Lydia Ko.
