Kerr No Longer in "BPTNWAM" Running
Hello. My apologies for not writing yesterday. I was observing Canada Day.
Congrats to Cristie Kerr for winning the US Women's Open. She shot rounds of 69-66 on the weekend to win by 2 over Lorena Ochoa.
Kerr is no longer in the running for the "BPTNWAM" (Best Player to Never Win a Major)award. It must be a huge relief. While Kerr had won many tournaments prior to this one, the big prize had always eluded her. Now she has the career distinction of a US Women's Open champion.
And what of Ochoa? She was already the frontrunner in the "BPTNWAM" race. Now those questions will pop up again. Why hasn't she won a major? It's about the only thing missing from her resume.
While I didn't see the final round, all I'll say is Ochoa did the same thing Tiger Woods did in the Masters and the US Open - fail to come from behind to win a major. Tiger has never done it either, so why dump on Ochoa? Her time may be as soon as St Andrews.
Congrats Cristie!
Regards,
Steve
