swan song: the bogey train
Taking the lead into the final round, 18 year old Aree Song could have become the youngest player to win on the LPGA tour. Instead, she faltered miserably running up a string of bogeys and even double bogeys. I saw some of the highlights and it wasn’t very pretty. Her swing looked a bit herky-jerky, no doubt a victim of the nerves. It’s amazing what the mind will do when you’re in the lead.
Shout out to Jenny Rosales, a 25 year old, who won for the 1st time with a 65 round. She, too, felt some of the nerves, as she yanked her approach shot on the 18th well into the grandstands. It actually made a long clanking noise, but she — luckily — received a free drop and eventually saved par.
