A North Dakotan is playing the USWO at Pebble Beach 30 weeks pregnant. Which part of that would have seemed the most improbable 20 years ago?
Excellent article on Amy Olson on the LPGA website.

Memo to The Old Goofball: Assuming you and your "transportation" survive going to Pebble, please add the USWA at Bel-Air CC (Aug. 7-13) to your schedule.
**************
As expected, some of the gear brands will be issuing Major-related bags. Haruka Kawasaki (background) has Bridgestone stars and stripes.
Callaway gave Yuna a Pebble Beach bag

I noticed the circular portraits have changed for many players on the USGA site ... improvements in many cases ... Marina and Haeji might want to follow suit; not digging the blinding forehead look.

Per the latest report from the GC website, Aine Donegan's sticks were last seen at Newark airport.

Robert Altman's film The Long Goodbye was a box office dud & critical failure. I thought is was pretty good. I don't think Sorenstam & Wie give a damn.

A couple of kids will have lemonade stands in their parent's backyard, unless Whan wants in on the action. They better take cash.

Good JYK interview. They couldn’t ask for a better world #1 than Ko.

Jin Young seems to have been pretty upset by her final round at the last Major. There is an interview in Korean afterwards where she is in tears during it.
I get the feeling that her approach this time is to be much more casual about things. Sooner or later she is going to win a Major again, so why stress too much about each one?
Having said that, you know she wants this bad. I hope she can take the pressure off herself and play freely. Good luck!

Can't remember if I ever saw Jill McGill play golf in person ... will have to review The Archives.

Oh great. Rose has now begun performing miracles. This will be so great for her ministry or platform or whatever she calls it.
