Women’s US Open: My Pick
Michelle Wie, after her scintillating 64 in the Jamie Farr. Oh wait, she’s not in! USGA blew it.
Never mind.
Women’s Open field comes under scrutiny.
The U.S. Women’s Open begins this week with the strength of its field under scrutiny.
Michelle Wie and Natalie Gulbis didn’t make it under the U.S. Golf Association’s new exemption criteria. Neither did LPGA veteran Wendy Ward and rookie Vicky Hurst.
But 29 amateurs will tee it up when play begins Thursday at the Saucon Valley Country Club’s Old Course in Bethlehem, Pa.
When the USGA released its new exemption criteria earlier this year, red flags went up in the offices at the LPGA, an intensely interested bystander in the national championship’s makeup.
