Last Sunday, I watched on television many professional woman golfers competing on a beautiful golf course near Montreal, Canada. Because of its generous purse, Canadian National Women’s Open is considered a major tournament in the ladies’ golfing circuit. Besides other mementos, this year’s winner also won a hefty cash prize of $337,500.
But that Sunday was definitely not a good day go golfing. Thanks to Irene, the hurricane, all players not only had to battle against each others on a tough course. They also had to face the inclement weather for the entire 18-hole round. Even though the weather could be friendlier, the defending champion from Hawaii, Michelle Wei, did put on a good effort against this year’s winner, another American, Brittany Lucicome, by just one stroke.
About the last year’s champion, she is known for competing in professional man’s tournaments when she was just a teenager. Now, at 21, she seems to becoming a mature young lady. Recently, she was being criticized for not playing the professional tour full time. Instead of encouraging the golfing protege finish her schooling at Stanford, some of her peers on the tour think becoming a pro golfer is more important than getting a university degree. - Ayee
