The Olympic Club struck again. Just as in the five U.S. Opens contested on the club’s Lake Course, the first U.S. Women’s Open Championship played over this iconic Bay Area layout wasn’t kind to the favored final-round frontrunner.
Olympic’s list of past victims includes Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson, Jim Furyk and Payne Stewart, and Lexi Thompson can now be added to the remarkable list of players who have come up short in championship bids here.
Thompson, the 54-hole leader, was five strokes ahead of her closest pursuers on a beautiful early June Sunday with 10 holes remaining, only to play the final eight in 5 over par, including consecutive bogeys on Nos. 17 and 18 that left the 26-year-old Floridian with a final-round 75, one agonizing stroke shy of the playoff between Yuka Saso and Nasa Hataoka at 4-under 280.
It took three holes to decide the outcome. Saso converted a 12-foot birdie putt on the first sudden-death playoff hole (No. 9) after both players made back-to-back pars in the two-hole aggregate playoff. At 19 years, 11 months, 17 days old, Saso joined World Golf Hall of Fame member and seven-time major winner Inbee Park as the youngest champion in U.S. Women’s Open history – to the day. She also becomes the first player from the Philippines to engrave her name on the Harton S. Semple Trophy. Princess Mary Superal (2014 U.S. Girls’ Junior) is the only other player from the Philippines to claim a USGA title.
If there are three things your dad loves, they might just be golf, gadgets, and saving money. Granted most MGS readers likely have those same loves, but with Father’s Day coming up let’s take a look at a few gifts that hit all three.
Most know eBay as the largest online auction site in the world. Many reading will have bought and sold gear there in the past. Another side of eBay, however, is their certified refurbished shop. We don’t recommend refurbished golf clubs or golf balls but consumers can find great deals on a wide variety of other items. Most are being resold directly from the manufacturer after refurbishing and testing the product. This results in a like-new item that is often still under warranty and in original packaging, but at significant cost savings.
With Father’s Day quickly approaching, many of these items would make great gifts. eBay is sweetening the deal even further by offering up to 50% off a variety of top items from June 7th – June 13th 2021. Looking through the available products, a few stood out as perfect gifts for the golfing dad in your life.
Here are a few of the top golf gadgets currently available on eBay refurbished today.
The best rangefinder of 2021 is packed with features. The display is simple to read and understand. Visual notification and jolt technology alert you when you’ve locked onto a target. This rangefinder also considers climate. It accounts for altitude as well as temperature for ultimate accuracy in playing distance.
A few weeks ago, we asked you to take our annual golf ball survey. We asked you about your preferences, buying habits and how likely you are to recommend brands to your friends. Your feedback helps us better understand your perceptions as well as trends in the market.
More than 10,00 (10,680) of you completed our survey. Here are some of the more interesting results.
We know from the survey that the majority of our readers play between 26 and 55 rounds of golf annually (26-40 was listed most often). What does that rate of play translate to as far as golf ball purchases are concerned?
The highest percentage of you buy five to six dozen balls annually.Perhaps this is why when brands give away “a year’s supply of golf balls”, it’s typically six dozen.I’d wager that those of you buying fewer than four dozen balls are playing a bit less, while I’m envious of those of you who play enough golf to need at least seven dozen (though I’ve had weekends where I’ve gone through nearly that many).
Jon Rahm probably should have won. But he didn't. Instead, Patrick Cantlay walked away with the victory as the U.S. Open looms with plenty of questions.
Yuka Saso took advantage of a late collapse from 54-hole leader Lexi Thompson, beating Nasa Hataoka in a playoff to win the U.S. Women's Open.
Patrick Cantlay delivered a clutch birdie late in the round and a 12-foot par putt in a playoff to win the Memorial on a Sunday filled with drama, a little rain and no Jon Rahm.
Stephen Ames won the Principal Charity Classic on Sunday for his second PGA Tour Champions title, taking advantage of Tim Herron's final-round collapse.
Rickie Fowler failed to finish high enough at the Memorial Tournament on Sunday to earn a place in the June 17-20 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, so he will be one of among 120 players at a 36-hole final qualifying event Monday.
Lee Westwood says he recently went through a similar situation that Jon Rahm endured Saturday at the Memorial.
Lexi Thompson shot a bogey-free 5-under 66 on Saturday to take the lead into the final round of the U.S. Women's Open for the first time in her career with a one-shot edge over teenager Yuka Saso.
Jon Rahm, who was leading Memorial by 6 strokes following Saturday's third round, has been forced to withdraw from the tournament after testing positive for COVID-19.
Bryson DeChambeau said the well-chronicled feud between him and Brooks Koepka is something for the PGA Tour to handle as it's "something I can't control."
Tim Herron shot a 9-under 63 on Saturday to take a four-stroke lead in the PGA Tour Champions' Principal Charity Classic.
Thomas Detry shot a 4-under 68 to take a one-stroke lead in the opening round as spectators returned to the fairways at the European Open on Saturday.
With their new Slim and Large putting mats, PuttOUT now has something for everyone. As if that wasn’t enough, they’re also launching their Putting Plane Alignment Stick Set, a multi-tool to help improve your putting stroke.
As the game within the game, putting aids are, as the old saying goes, “ten a penny.” But very few cut through like the original PuttOUT did, selling more than 400,000 units and still counting. Recently upgraded to the Premium Pressure Putt Trainer, the simple design was tricky to master but gives plenty of feedback. PuttOUT launched its original mat three years ago, a product they designed after requests from consumers for a mat to complement the Putt Trainer. At eight feet long with markings at six feet, it’s not huge but enough to be able to vary a practice session. Now rebranded as the Medium Mat, it’s available in three colors.
Let’s start with a bit of housekeeping on the mat range before going into specific details about the new models.
All the PuttOUT mats run at 10 on the Stimpmeter. That’s swift but not too slick, with enough pace to groove a smooth stroke.
Secondly, the mats are designed to stay flat. That seems obvious but too many putting mats can eventually look like creased, dog-eared dollar bills. And at five millimeters, they are designed to be thick enough to mask any imperfections from the floor beneath the mat.
Yuka Saso will enter the weekend at the U.S. Women's Open with a 1-shot lead. Fellow teen Megha Ganne, an amateur, is 2 back of Saso. Defending champion A Lim Kim and Michelle Wie West were among the notables to miss the cut.
