LPGA Golf: U.S. Women’s Open Preview
The 2010 U.S. Women’s Open Golf Championship will take place the week of July 5 at Oakmont in Oakmont, PA. All the stars of the LPGA will be present to try and tame this famous course.
The only other time a Women’s Open was held at Oakmont was in 1992 when PGA golf odds star, Patty Sheehan was victorious. This time around it’s all about the youth. Many of the stars of women’s golf are young and it will be the first time many of these girls have played this course.
Teeing it up for U.S. Open week are favorites Paula Creamer, Christi Kerr, Morgan Pressel, and Michelle Wie. Many experts think this is the tournament and the week where Michelle Wie establishes her place in women’s golf. She has too much talent not to have won a major.
A foreign invasion usually takes place at the Women’s Open, and this year is no exception. Look for the likes of Se Ri Pak, who is always in the hint at the U.S. Open to make a run at the leaderboard. Others to watch include; Yani Tseng, Suzann Pettersen, and the new number one golfer in the world, Ai Miyazato to be in contention.
The tournament is wide open this year, and it should be an interesting leaderboard. Tickets are going fast, so get yours if you are going to in the area, or want to watch some great golf.
