July 12, 2010
By Patricia Hannigan

They're a lot busier than the Kardashians, and they don't even have a reality show... yet. Not to say there won't be one in the future, but for the time being, Erica and Myah Jackson have too much else going on. "Busy" doesn't even begin to describe what their days are like. To get an idea of what I'm talking about, check out their June/July schedule:June 1: Chicago Public Schools’ Golf

Even U.S. Women’s Open champ Paula Creamer can inspire a guy like me

July 12, 2010
By Brandon

THe only time I interviewed Paula Creamer was after her 4th round at the U.S. Women's Open at Pine Needles back in 2007. Creamer seemed visibly frustrated at her 5-over finish, which ended up putting her in a tie for 16th in an event Cristie Kerr woul...

The Best on the LPGA: 7-Up, July 2010 Edition

With Meg Mallon retiring and Cristie Kerr and Paula Creamer not just winning but dominating back-to-back majors, it's time to update my June ranking of the best players on the LPGA with 7 or more wins, ordered by my take on their likelihood of more com...

The Molinari Brothers – Inspired Italian Golf

By Patricia Hannigan

Just a few months ago most Americans... including many who consider themselves ardent golf fans... knew nothing of the Molinari brothers. And if asked to name an Italian golfer they'd likely need to refer to the Google. Some however, would remember the...

Paula Creamer Major Breakthrough Linkfest

I'm still trying to decide whether Paula Creamer's performance at Oakmont was actually more dominating than Cristie Kerr's at Locust Hill, and who is the best player in women's golf right now, but since I'm pretty indecisive, you're better off checking...

U.S. Women’s Open Sunday:  It All Comes Down to This

Here's a heretical question to start my U.S. Women's Open not-quite-live blog: is Oakmont actually going to play easy today? It's probably way too early to be asking that question, but look at who's under par already today.Ai Miyazato and Sherri Stei...

U.S. Women’s Open Saturday, Part 2:  The Stage Is Set

Hound Dog and Brent Kelley focus on how the leaders finished out their 3rd rounds at the U.S. Women's Open. Paula Creamer continues to impress the heck out of me. I didn't even pick her in this week's PakPicker, thinking her thumb wasn't in any condi...

Meiji Chocolate Cup Sunday:  The Billion-Yen Woman Is Now a 5048-Tournament Winner on the JLPGA

Yuri Fudoh may not be dominating the JLPGA like she did from 2000-2005, but she sure has a great sense of timing. With Sakura Yokomine getting her name butchered by Dan Hicks ("Secure-ah Yokomeanie"), her swing goggled over by Johnny Miller ("Dalyesqu...

U.S. Women’s Open Saturday:  Let the Games Begin

It's finally moving day at Oakmont, but for over half the field it's going to be 1 of the longest days of the year, as many of them just finished their second rounds of the U.S. Women's Open a couple of hours ago or less. Here are the pairings for the...

U.S. Women’s Open Friday, Part 2:  After the Rains

A quick glance at the leaderboard of the U.S. Women's Open suggests that yesterday's storms didn't soften Oakmont up all that much, if not literally than at least figuratively. Nobody on the course to finish their second rounds is going low; there are...

The Integrity of the US Women’s Open at Oakmont

July 10, 2010
By Ron Mon

One of those unavoidable elements to professional golf is the intrusion of weather. Presuming a 7:30 a.m. first time and a 7:30 p.m. completion by the final grouping, tournament officials need to enforce conditions over a dozen hours of golf in a given...
