PGA
Ben Curtis will have to wait yet one more day to close the deal and win only his second PGA tournament. Play was suspended at the Booz Allen Classic because of weather and will resume on Monday. Curtis has an 8-shot lead with 7 holes remaining and is pretty much a lock on finally getting his 2nd tour win since 2003.
LPGA
Jeong Jang shot a final round 70 to win by one at the Wegmans LPGA tournament in New York. Julieta Granada shot a 5-under 67 and finished second with Brittany Lang and Marcy Hart yet two strokes back of Jang. Lang had her 15 minutes of fame at last year’s Womens U.S. Open at Cherry Hills when she finished second to eventual winner Birdie Kim.Speaking of which, the Womens U.S. Open starts this week at the Newport Country Club in Rhode Island. Grace Park withdrew from the tournament with yet another setback in a year that has been very difficult from a health standpoint.
Personal Note
It’s been three years this week since I was afforded the opportunity to play the famed Pebble Beach Golf Links in Monterey, California. It was always a dream of mine to play there and never in a million years did I think I’d ever make it. It was everything I imagined and more and I was in awe the entire 18-holes.
