Women Tackle St. Andrews

Hello. Today is the first day of the Women's British Open at St. Andrews. This will mark the first time the women have held their championship at the birthplace of golf. Needless to say, they're really pumped. I'm sure most of them consider it a victory just to be playing on the course, and getting into the clubhouse.
And then there's Lorena Ochoa. As I write this, she is finished for the day at -6, 3 ahead of her nearest competitor. Ochoa has the ideal game for St. Andrews. She's long and good around the greens. And of course she's motivated to win her first major, lock up Player of the Year, and remain the #1 player in the world. What better stage to do it on?
Annika is motivated as well, as it may be her only chance to win at St. Andrews. And who can count her out? Right now she's even after 10 holes. While she may be as big a longshot as she's ever been, it's still very possible, certainly more possible than other unproven players in the field.
Will this be a tournament to remember? Let's hope so.

Regards,
Steve
