HOLE OF THE DAY
No. 8
The longest par-3 in U.S. Women's Open history at 203 yards played directly into a wind that gusted to 30 mph. The results were predictable. It was the only hole of the golf course that did not give up a single birdie Sunday.
Only two players among the top 11 finishers parred the hole.
SHOT OF THE DAY
Annika Sorenstam making eagle on the 18th hole by sinking a 6-iron from 199 yards is a heck of a finish. That the Hall of Famer did it in her final U.S. Open before going into retirement at the end of this season is the stuff of legends.
WORDS OF WISDOM
