Choi Wins US Womens Open

Na Yeon Choi held on to shoot 73 on Sunday to win the US Womens Open. Yes she did hold on for the win! On a final day of a U.S. Open when only three players broke 70 and seven players shot 80 or above Choi held on to a tidy round of 73, unlike her 65 on Saturday. She was steady all day and especially after making a triple bogey on the 10th hole to shoot 1 over on her final nine and win by 4 shots. Good for her, she played great for her first major win under tough conditions.

As for our American women in the field Paula Creamer held the flag for the U.S. finishing at 3 over for the championship. Along with Christie Kerr and Natalie Castrale all three made the top 10. Tough sledding for our women players though, Dotti Pepper is on record saying the women players of the U.S. aren’t working hard enough. When Pepper leaves the tower after her broadcast day is over only the foreign players are left on the range. Kind of an interesting observation from a gritty past champion.

Hats off to Ted Potter Jr. for winning at the Greenbrier Classic in extra holes against Troy Kelly. It is always great to see a new winner take the trophy and blazer on Sunday. These guys sound llke two players who would play in your local Club Championship. Not too bad.

The Open Championship is coming soon! Live golf on TV when you get up in the morning. I love it..
