LPGA Player of the Year rivals Ji-Yai Shin (5-birdie 69 with bogeys on 9 and 18), Ai Miyazato (bogey-free 69), and Lorena Ochoa (2-birdie 71) didn't hurt themselves in the 1st round of the Mizuno Classic , but they didn't light it up like the leaders. Brittany Lang lead the way with a 66 that was sparked by an eagle on the par-5 7th, but hot on her heels were former KLPGAer Hee Young Park (who started...

I just arrived at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Illinois , and am struck immediately by the throngs of fans and the pristine course. From what I saw of the layout in my long trudge from the wrong lot to the media center, it’s a bit of a curious design: random trees jutting up from carnival-ride fairways, amorphous greens that look almost specially designed for sucker-pin placement, and a...

Hound Dog is your one-stop shop for all things Solheim Cup. His preview , evaluation of the teams , and breakdown of individual players' records are excellent enough, but then he went and recommended strategies for putting the best-ball (four-ball) and alternate shot (foursomes) teams together. This, better than anything else, shows how many choices are available to the captains and how much of a difference...

By now you know the big news at the U.S. Women's Open : like Lorena Ochoa Friday , Paula Creamer blew up Saturday to plummet out of contention, while Cristie Kerr continued to position herself for a wire-to-wire win of her 2nd Open and 2nd career major. That's not to say it's going to be easy for her, but with Jean Reynolds (74), Song-Hee Kim (75), Na Yeon Choi (76), Guilia Sergas (76), Nicole Castrale...

The U.S. Women's Open is in full swing and Saucon Valley has introduced itself to some of the top players in women's golf in a decidedly inhospitable manner. Angela Stanford broke a 5-hole bogey train on the front with a double bogey on the par-4 8th to open with a 43; she remains +7 through 11. Stacy Lewis birdied her 1st hole, but thanks in part to a triple on the par-4 3rd could only manage a 40;...
