Women’s British Open leaderboard
Full leaderboard (via TGC) is here. At 12:50 UK time, Cristie Kerr has climbed onto the leaderboard at -5, (-6 for the day) after shooting a stellar 66. She currently is in 2d behind leader Louise Stahl at -6.
For one of the best, most revealing golf articles I have read this year, take a look at this Golf for Women article by Ron Kapriske entitled The Swan. It chronicles the amazing transformation of Cristie Kerr, in terms of both body weight and course personality. If you didn’t know about Cristie’s story, you will be amazed.
Money line from Kapriske: “The old Cristie Kerr’s only desire was to be a professional golfer. The new Cristie Kerr wants to open her own wine bar in Manhattan or Scottsdale. The old Cristie Kerr was egocentric. The new Cristie Kerr raises money for breast cancer research as a tribute to her mother, who has battled the disease. The old Cristie Kerr wore a size 16 dress, thick eyeglasses and had a tight perm. The new Cristie Kerr wears a size 4, has ditched the specs and the perm and is, in the words of her good friend and fellow LPGA member Natalie Gulbis, ‘a hottie.'”
