U.S. Open Preview & Pairings

Before I get started with the preview of the LPGA's biggest major tournament, let me congratulate Inbee Park for winning the Walmart NW Arkansaw Championship in a playoff over So Yeon Ryu. It was Inbee's 5th win of the season, and her 2nd consecutive victory via the playoff route. Inbee has clearly established herself as the number one player on the planet.
 
This week the tour moves to New York for the playing of the United States Open. This will be the third of five major championships on the schedule this year, and generally regarded by the players, press, and fans, as the most prestigious.
 
This is tournament #15 of 28 on this year's schedule and will mark the beginning of the second half of the season. The LPGA will have their final player reshuffle at tournament's end.
 
Here are the key details:

doesn't look like there are any traffic jams to speak of.....seeing how it's a two lane road leading to the course.

Looks like another un-busy day in the hamptons. Ho-Hum.....no interest

One of our co-workers is marshalling this week and he will be checking out all the hip rotations for proper form!
