Apparently I’m the only one who didn’t know that the US Women’s Open only exempts the top 10 on the LPGA 2009 money list. This means we won’t be seeing Michelle Wie or Natalie Gublis in the US Women’s Open, as both failed to qualify at sectional qualifying at Woodmont Country Club, where 30 spots were available.
I know, I know, play better. But I’ll still miss Michelle and Natalie.
Rookie Nordqvist easily wins LPGA Championship
Anna Nordqvist completed a long day and a memorable week in splendid fashion, shooting a 4-under par 68 Sunday to become the second straight rookie to win the LPGA Championship.
Nordqvist finished at 15-under 273, four shots ahead of Lindsey Wright in the tournament’s final stand at Bulle Rock Golf Course. The LPGA Championship will get a new sponsor and a new home in 2010.
LPGA Tweeters:
After the second round, the LPGA tweeters I follow posted the following scores:
Anna Nordqvist leads at -8.
You go, girl!
BTW, how can the LPGA Championship be a major when it’s not even on (free) TV?
Nope, I don’t have Golf Channel. I’d never get anything done…
Michelle Wie moves into contention at LPGA Championship
Michelle Wie could end up making the final LPGA Championship at Bulle Rock an unforgettable event.
Wie shot a 2-under 70 on Thursday to put herself in contention for her first win on the LPGA Tour. The 19-year-old turned pro in 2005, but this marks the first year she’s playing as a tour member.
Thus, she’s still considered to be a rookie.
Wie already has three top-10 finishes this year, and an improved putter helped her finish Thursday with three birdies on the back nine. If Wie makes a run this weekend, Bulle Rock can expect an overflow crowd Sunday for its final round as home of the LPGA Championship.
He wins the Memorial by a shot, even though he started 4 back.
Tiger Woods wins the Memorial Tournament.
Woods hit every fairway Sunday and missed only seven fairways at Muirfield Village, his most accurate week since the 1998 Masters.
