Park wins Women’s British Open, captures 4th different major
If Park wins there, she will claim a career slam, having won the other four women’s major titles. She would finish five shots back of Park in solo seventh. It’s just a shame there’s a debate now over whether it constitutes a career Grand Slam.
Pressed to elaborate on what he admires about Putin, Trump shot back, “I didn’t say I admire him”, and declined to answer a follow-up question about which world leaders he did admire.
Just not the one many were expecting. This is definitely the golfer’s most wanted trophy. Park is looking to complete a sweep of the majors here.
Six-time major victor Park Inbee is a big threat.
The ease with which she was able to play the final two holes with a 3-shot advantage was deceptive. The 20-year-old Ko had bounded around the front nine, laughing with her caddie, pulling her puffa jacket on and off, apparently oblivious to the pressure.
Woods was tied for fifth, three shots behind Ryo Ishikawa, who was even par for the day before he birdied the last three holes at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club. “I walked out to the tenth that day and played in some bad weather just to get used to it. I’m trying to mess it up best I can, but he’s pretty good at getting me on track”.

While her rivals floundered in the stiff breeze off the western Scottish coast, the Norwegian double major victor said she was in 100 percent control of every shot in one of her best rounds.The sixth-ranked Pettersen moved into a tie for the lead on 7-under par with Hyo-Joo Kim, who was among the later starters on a day when golf took center stage at Turnberry after the grand arrival of American presidential contender Donald Trump stole the spotlight on Thursday. “Especially playing as an amateur, we grew up playing links golf”. “They are all in the world’s top 10 so it’s been nice to see where my game is at compared to them”.
Park becomes the first player to cross the $2 million mark in season earnings this year, earning $2,182,165.
The 18-year-old Lydia Ko was seeking to become the youngest major victor, beating the record of Morgan Pressel by seven months.
Wie’s left ankle was causing her some discomfort when she teed off Friday, and she felt a sharp pain when she stepped in a hole early in the round.
