This is a biennial amateur tournament where countries send teams of players to compete against each other. There are both male and female competitions as well as a combined title. This year's match is taking place this week at Whispering Pines Golf Club in Trinity, Texas. None other than Stacy Lewis is the captain for the American squad. To no one's surprise, the Korean ladies have fielded a strong group. Led by Jeong Hyun Lee, who is *12*, they are right this moment in a pitched battle with France and Norway for the team title. Apparently, the Americans were DQed. Lee is also leading the individual women standings at the moment. Just to reiterate: she's 12, folks. There is a live feed here, but it will probably be over by the time you see this: Live FeedEDIT: Final hole of the women's team match was amazing. France and Korea were tied coming into the final hole. Both Koreans put it over the water to within birdie range. One of the French women hit it into the water, so the other French gal had to hit it long to make sure they stayed dry. She two putted, so the Koreans had must make birdie putts. 12-year-old Lee drilled a ten footer for the birdie and the win. Absolutely amazing. WATCH OUT FOR THIS GIRL!

The Korean team was having fun as they walked up the final fairway. Keep in mind that they were tied at this point and the gold medal was at stake. Don't tell me that they are a bunch of robots!
