The picture galleries do not have captions. Here's one from 2005...my best guess is that it's Yani Tseng and Sharon Ahn.

Phil
Yup that's a pic of pre bolt-on Sharon.
You must be a racist...why didn't you post the next picture of white faced Paige Mackenzie?
Obviously you know that PMac was the 2013 US captain.

Yes, they are hyping this event on GC...I'm surprised they didn't send Chamblee there on an away game assignment with his squeeze, Bailey...she looks like an Amazon women when pictured with Chamblee or Gary Williams.

Phil are you a golf Rain Man/savant?...who would go into the archives and pull up an old pic of Yani and Sharon...lol...well done.

I posted a few vintage pix of Sharon Ahn to the thread I started on her at the old message board, but it all went down the tubes, as you know. However, regarding the 2005 Spirit International, I never found any from that event when I first looked years ago. But, after finding the website yesterday, I poked around the archives and BINGO!!!

After Round Two:

T1 Mexico -25 F -15 134 129 263
T1 United States -25 F -16 135 128 263
