The LPGA Tour heads to Taiwan this week for the third event of the Tour’s fall Asian swing, the Sunrise LPGA Taiwan Championship.
Sandra Gal attended her first Ryder Cup last week at Medinah.
Na Yeon Choi first dreamt of playing on the LPGA Tour when at the age of 10, she watched Se Ri Pak capture the 1998 U.S. Women's Open at Blackwolf Run. On Sunday, Choi's dreams of becoming a major winner came true as she took home the 2012 U.S. Women's Open title on the same course where Pak captured her most memorable victory. Choi shot a final-round, 1-over 73 to take a four-shot victory over fellow South Korean Amy Yang and earn her first ever major title.
Five-time LPGA Tour winner Na Yeon Choi will have an opportunity to capture the biggest victory of her career, as she carries a six-stroke lead into Sunday’s final round of the 67th U.S. Women’s Open. Choi, who is ranked fifth in the Rolex Rankings, put on a masterful display on the Championship Course at Blackwolf Run Saturday by firing a 7-under 65. Choi’s round tied Karrie Webb (1997) and Judy Clark (1985) for the lowest 3rd round score in U.S. Women’s Open history and only four lower rounds have ever been recorded in the history of the championship.
