Can Lorena 3-Peat? Unfortunately No
Hello. Congrats to Yani Tseng for winning the McDonald's LPGA Championship in a 4-hole playoff over Maria Hjorth. Tseng becomes the 2nd youngest LPGA major winner ever behind Morgan Pressel.
Tied for 3rd were some ladies named Sorenstam and Ochoa. And while the tournament was exciting as it was, imagine if one or both of those two ladies had been in the playoff. Imagine if Annika or Lorena had won the event. What would the media buildup have been for the US Womens' Open? In a word, immense.
So, unless Trevor Immelman wins the US Open (and believe it or not, some people now realize he CAN still win the Grand Slam!), there will be no historic Slam accomplishments this year, in spite of three of the greatest players of all time (Sorenstam, Woods and Ochoa) playing at or near the top of their games.
The question then becomes, will anyone ever win the Grand Slam? Or will new faces like Immelman and Tseng always emerge to thwart the attempts?
More tomorrow.
Regards,
Steve
