Ji-Yai Shin Wins Women's British Open

Hello. Congrats to Ji-Yai Shin for wining the Women's British Open. While I didn't see the final, anyone who shoots -6 on the final day of a major is a worthy champion.
This completes the LPGA majors for 2008. There were a few surprises. Lorena Ochoa "only" won one major. And she was the oldest major winner at 26! To have 3 ladies from Asia with an average age of 20 win the rest of the majors is really something. So much for my theory of needing experience to win the British Open.
The American public may not like what they see from a TV ratings standpoint. All I can say is, get used to it. The ladies who won majors this year are all driven to win. They're willing to pay the price. And they don't have the entitlement mindset North Americans have, which is one of a few reasons why they're superior.
Is it good for the game? Of course. These ladies are raising the bar. That can only be good. It forces all the other athletes to step up. And it makes victory that much sweeter.
Will we see North Americans challenge on the LPGA? Maybe. Pressel and Creamer look like they want to battle. It should be an interesting next few months.

Regards,
Steve
