As the saying goes, experience should fear the strength of youth. Lexi Thompson is only 16 years old, but appears ready to take on the world. But I’m getting ahead of things. Although Lexi fired a 6-under 66 in round 2 to lead the 2011 Omega Dubai Ladies Masters at 8-under overall, there are still … Continue reading
2-time Ladies European Tour title winner (and cancer survivor) Lotta Wahlin fired 7 birdies against a lone bogey to take a 1 shot lead over Becky Brewerton after the 1st round of the 2011 Omega Dubai Ladies Masters. Lotta sits by herself at the top, but I really felt for Tandi Cuningham. Tandi was at … Continue reading
Don’t close the book on women’s golf in 2011 quite yet. The 2011 Omega Dubai Ladies Masters boasts some of golf’s best ladies fighting it out for top honors at the Emirates Golf Club. I played pretty decent this year, but I haven’t putted well, so I’ve got a new putter this week, and obviously … Continue reading
Scotland’s Catriona Matthew used a 3rd round 4-under 68 to push her overall score t0 11-under, good enough for a 3 shot lead going into the final round of the 2011 Lorena Ochoa Invitational. The 2009 Women’s British Open winner carded 5 birdies against a single bogey, although that lone bogey was on 17 coming … Continue reading
With a 2nd round 8 birdie, 1 bogey 7-under 65, LPGA Major winner Anna Nordqvist pulled herself into a tie for the lead at the 2011 Lorena Ochoa Invitational. The 2009 LPGA Championship winner admitted the front 9 has more birdie chances and like first round co-leader Suzann Pettersen, Anna went on an early scoring … Continue reading
A few days ago golf legend Annika Sorenstam said that it was important for Team Europe to win Solheim Cup 2011 to make the competition relevant. Wins in the last three events (2005, 2007 and 2009) by Team USA coupled with 8 American wins in 11 Solheim Cups was threatening to make the premier team … Continue reading
It seems fitting that after two days of nerve racking team play, Team Europe and Team USA will decide the 2011 Solheim Cup during day three singles. Europe had a chance to put some distance between themselves and the Americans after taking the Saturday morning foursomes 2.5-1.5 to extend to a 7-5 lead into the … Continue reading
On paper, Team USA looked like the team to beat going into Solheim Cup 2011, and it might just turn out that way in the end, but on day one Team Europe threw down the gauntlet and showed they are in it to win it, leading the point total 4.5 to 3.5. I am going … Continue reading
Now we get to the action for Solheim Cup 2011! I can feel the excitement building. Michelle Wie and Cristie Kerr (USA) will take on Maria Hjorth and Anna Nordqvist (EUR). Paula Creamer and Brittany Lincicome oppose Karen Stupples and Melissa Reid (EUR). Stacy Lewis and Angela Stanford (USA) face off with Catriona Matthew and … Continue reading
I love all the pomp and circumstance with the Solheim Cup; not because it has anything to do with the golf that will soon follow, but because it goes to demonstrate how important this event is to all involved. For one of the few times in the sports year, women’s golf is showered with the … Continue reading
