You don’t have to look any further than Instagram to understand why the most notable player at this week’s LPGA Tour event isn’t one of the top women’s professionals in the field, but rather an 18-year-old high school senior with a famous last name.
We’d bet against Hull’s ‘ripping away tour cards’ plan making it anywhere other than social media, but it’s certainly keeping the issue in the spotlight.
This is the first time since Yani Tseng in 2011 that someone has won seven times in a year, and Korda is the first American to accomplish the feat since Hall of Famer Beth Daniel did so in 1990.
Both Lopez and Sorenstam remember what it was like to be the biggest stories on the LPGA and have advice for Korda as she navigates these barely charted waters.
Setting up with the shoulders on the correct line and focusing on “the right elbow moving straight away from the target” are two keys that will also help keep your hands and wrists quiet during the stroke.
King, winner of 12 Grand Slam tennis singles titles, member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame and a long-time gender equality advocate, wasted little time mentioning what she’d like to see happen at the home of the Masters.
During the LPGA’s off-season, Kang made a point of working on her cold-weather game, in part because she wants to contend at an AIG Women’s British Open.
Making her debut in the US Senior Women’s Open, Sorenstam went wire-to-wire in a runaway victory in the third overall edition of the championship, a performance that had everybody shaking their heads, including Sorenstam.
Annika Sorenstam will be one of three women to accept membership at Pine Valley Golf Club, the club announced in an email to its membership at the weekend, ending Pine Valley’s 108-year history as a male-only club.
