Around Interlachen: Sunday

Published: June 30, 2008

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

BY THE NUMBERS

4 - Consecutive LPGA events now won by Asian golfers.

14 - Wins by non-Americans in 17 events this season.

22 - Consecutive holes played by Annika Sorenstam without a birdie before the streak ended with a putt Sunday on the 14th hole.

279 - Driving distance yardage for the tournament by Brittany Lincicome, left, which ranked seventh in the field.
