63rd U.S. Women’s Open

Yet, as expected…another exciting finish to the 63rd U.S Women’s Open. From the beginning Lorena Ochoa never even contended for her first U.S. Open victory, Michelle Wie’s embarrassing quintuple-bogey on number nine erased her chances to participate in the weekend action, but as always Annika Sorenstam gave us a great finishing hole by dunking a 200-yard shot for eagle. The day continued with 15-year-old Jessica Korda shooting Sunday’s low-round, Paula Creamer stumbled to the finish line, still bearing the weight of the unwanted best-player-yet-to-win-a-major title, Stacy Lewis almost grabbed a Major in her first start as a professional, Helen Alfredsson finished second, nearly becoming the oldest woman to win the U.S. Open, and Inbee Park wins her first tournament as a professional a decade after her idol, Se Ri Pak, grabbed the Open.
