redux (from Tuesday): oh no, not another Major…
Yes, it’s true. The women’s U.S. Open is this week, at Cherry Hills in Colorado. By some genius planning, the women get 2 majors within 3 weeks, and in between is the men’s U.S. Open. I’m sure there’s some good reason for the LPGA to throw its 2 majors so close together, but right now, it escapes me. Of course, the big story is can Annika capture Major No. 3 of the year. Side story is can anyone like Michelle Wie, Paula Creamer, Cristie Kerr sneak in and capture her first major. Today, pals Paula, Cristie, and Natalie Gulbis played a practice round together.
U.S. Open pairings are here. A few notables:
1. Most exciting pairing (8:28): Annika, Lorena Ochoa, Rosie Jones
2. 2nd most exciting (1:43): Michelle Wie, Laura Davies, Brittany Lincicome
3. C, K pairing (1:21): Cristie Kerr, Christina Kim, Carin Koch
4. P pairing (8:17): Morgan Pressel, Nicole Perrot, Se Ri Pak
5. Columbus + world pairing (7:33): Mollie Fankhauser (OH), Jana Peterkova (Czech Republic), Nadina Taylor (Australia)
