Kerr Captures Coveted Cup

Today’s finish at the 2007 US Women’s Open was an All American, red, white and blue finish. As Cristie Kerr concentrated before her drive off the 18th tee, you could feel the heat of the south with the cicadas steadily cheering her on with their sweet summer chatter. There haven’t been a lot of American women that have taken home this coveted prize of women’s golf and a look down the leaderboard showed a large group of Koreans who weren’t far behind.

I was secretly cheering for Se Ri Pak. Not that anyone was listening or that it needed to be a secret. I just felt a little guilty with the 4th of July around the corner. Not to mention that Cristie deserved the win.

Kerr started the final round coming off of a 66, 5 under performance in the 3rd. Her confidence was evident as she didn’t seem to over analyze anything and approached her shots as you would with your Wednesday golf buddies. She looked like she was having a great game and intimidated Ochoa into some difficult saves to tie for second.

Check out tomorrow’s Daily Mulligan as I share my thoughts on Pressel’s Polo Pony and Pak’s family designed duds. At least I’m not on national television reminding all the viewers that Kerr used to be a size 16. I’m sure she appreciated that.
