What have we been up to?
European Tour and LPGA hold concurrent ISPS Handa World Invitational with Daniel Gavins winning on the men’s side and Pajree Anannarukarn taking the women’s title in a playoff.
Possibly the greatest women’s golfer of all time Anika Sorenstam wins the Senior US Women’s Open. Wanted her kids to see her win. What would her resume look like if she kept playing?
Xander wins the Gold Medal! Holds on through a rough back 9 to hold off hard charging Rory Sabottini. Sabottini cards 10 birdies, 1 eagle and 2 bogeys on his way to an Olympic scoring record and a Silver Medal. CT Pan survives a 7-man playoff to win the Bronze Medal.
- amazing par save on 18 to win gold
- Caddies get medals too?
- 7 man playoff for 3rd place
- Rory: I never played so hard for 3rd place
- 18 was a great hole
Olympic underperforms
- ????
Kasumigaseki Country Club had a very parkland golf course feel. Look a lot like I was watching a PGA Tour event and that soft conditions were perfect for scoring.
