USGA at Broadmoor Could Produce A Flying Repeat Champion

     We have been treated recently to the 2010 US Open Champion at Carl's Golfland recently and if personality alone could win major golf championships, there is no way we would have to play this major championship this weekend as  Paula Creamer would simply show up and give us ten minutes of her time. Paula looks like Miss America and plays golf extremely well and has afforded her the opportunity to fly in an F-16 recently and tour the country as the defending champion of the Women's US Open being held this weekend at Broadmoor in Colorado. Creamer has had some time to squeeze in some golf lately as she finished third recently at the LPGA Wegmans championship.

     Ten former champions are playing in the championship this week but the golfer that is the hottest is the number one player on tour who is arguably the Tiger Woods of the ladies tour and I'm talking about Yani Tseng.

     Tseng is trying to complete the career grand slam at The Broadmoor’s East Course in Colorado Springs, Co. for the 2011 U.S. Women’s Open. Tseng will lead a field of 156 players including twenty-five amateurs competing for the distinguished honor of being US Open champion. Tseng will be among a field of 131 professionals and 25 amateurs who will be competing for one of the most coveted trophies in all of golf. The field is competing for a share of the purse of $3.25 million and a first-place prize of $585,000. Tseng, at the age of twenty-two and a half years old could win the career grand slam at an age when many college players are trying to earn their PGA tour playing card and she is on a roll winning the same Wegmans that Creamer finished third at last month. How prestegious is this Woodsian feat? Well consider that we have to go back not to Woods... Nicklaus.... Snead... or Bobby Jones to find a younger player to accomplish this feat but to Young Tom Morris who accomplished this in 1872, Her idol is Annika Sorenstam, who won her first U.S. Women’s Open title back in 1995 at this same golf course.

While women's golf does not generate the same interest among the public as the men, watching this duel this weekend between whoever is a top the leaderboard could provide drama for people that like to have a reason to watch golf on a beautiful golfing weekend. Also competing this week are all 18 players listed in the Rolex Rankings and the 2010 LPGA Official Money List leader Na Yeon Choi. My bet is one of both of these players will be playing in one of the final groups on Sunday as they are too good not to be there.
