Charley Hull is ready for the big time, as she talks in anticipation of the Ricoh Womens British Open.
Just three more events for players to qualify... This week at the British Masters at Woburn, The Portugal Open and the Hong Kong Open. The Top 60 only will get in.
Ashleigh Buhai defeated In Gee Chun at the fourth extra hole of a sudden-death play-off to win her first major title in dramatic style in the AIG Women’s Open at Muirfield. The 33-year-old let slip a five-shot overnight lead with a closing four-over 75 – largely due to a triple bogey at the 15th – to finish level with Chun on a ten-under-par total of 274.
Ashleigh Buhai brilliantly produced the lowest round of the week to open up a five-stroke lead going into the final round of the AIG Women’s Open at Muirfield. The South African is on course for her first major title after a superb seven-under-par 64 for a commanding 14-under-par total of 199 – the second lowest 54-hole score in Championship history.
In Gee Chun is chasing her fourth major title after claiming a narrow lead after the second day of the AIG Women’s Open at Muirfield. In blustery conditions over the East Lothian links, the Korean signed for a five-under-par 66 and a 36-hole total of eight-under-par 134.
Hinako Shibuno rekindled her love for the AIG Women’s Open after claiming the first round lead at Muirfield. On a historic day for women’s golf, as the East Lothian venue staged the Championship for the first time, the 2019 Champion from Japan shone on the famous links.
Republic of Korea’s Hyo Joo Kim captured her fifth career LPGA Tour title on Saturday, shooting a final-round 71 to reach eleven-under-par and win the 2022 LOTTE Championship by two strokes over Hinako Shibuno of Japan.
England’s Georgia Hall produced another solid day at the AIG Women’s Open, shooting a round of 69 to share the lead at the halfway stage. The 2018 Women’s Open champion backed up her first round of 68 with another round in the 60s to put her on seven-under-par for the tournament.
Nobody said winning a U.S. Women’s Open is easy. It’s a 72-hole test of nerves, pressure, tough course conditions and one of the best fields in golf. And when Mother Nature throws a curveball, the challenge only gets super-charged. A late Friday afternoon storm that dumped four-tenths of an inch of rain on Champions Golf Club turned Moving Day into a day of survival.
Japan’s Hinako Shibuno, who won the hearts of golf fans last year, has confirmed that she will defend her title at the 2020 AIG Women’s Open being played at Royal Troon from 20-23 August. For further information on the AIG Women’s Open, please visit .
Ok as nobody else seems to be doing it, I am going to come out and defend the seemingly indefensible, or at the very worst add a bit of perspective. Hank Hainey made a pretty unwise statement and was clearly mistaken in taking what might be described as ‘locker room humour’ to the airways. But, was he being ‘racist, xenophobic, and sexist’ as stated by the PGA Tour’s lawyers?
Well we nearly got the final line up right in that we predicted three of the four captain’s picks. European Captain Catriona Matthew went for France’s Celine Boutier, English stars Jodi Ewart Shadoff and Bronte Law and Norway’s Suzann Pettersen.
