It seems to be the season of the older golfer. Two weeks ago we saw 53-year-old Greg Norman contend for Britain’s Open Championship. This week it is 48-year-old Juli Inkster leading the field at the British Women’s Open Tournament in Sunningdale, England. She carded a record-tying 7 under 65 for the first round, with an eagle and five birdies.
Inkster has seven major championships to her name, the last at the US Women’s Open in 2002.

Twenty-one year old Paula Creamer won the SemGroup Championship yesterday, ending Lorena Ochoa’s bid (at least for now) to win five consecutive LPGA championships. But, it wasn’t easy.
Creamer blew a two-shot lead on the final hole, forcing a playoff with 47-year-old Juli Inkster. Creamer finally won the playoff by sinking an eight-foot birdie putt.
This win is Creamer’s sixth career win and second this year. (She won the Fields Open in February.)
