Pak Overcomes Pressel's Hole in One

It's not that often that the player who starts off looking unbeatable is actually unbeatable. But Se Ri Pak clenched a victory today for her fifth win at the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic. Not only was her golf as consistent and smooth as always, but Morgan Pressel had been closing in on her over the last two days.

By the time the coverage was picked up and aired, we had all missed Morgan Pressel's hole in one on number 6 that seemed like it might be the momentum she needed to win the tourney. But Pak came back with her steady hand and dropped a few birdies to give her the lead.

Other than a few technical difficulties, this was a great weekend of women's golf. It was good to see Pak take her fifth title, but Morgan Pressel is looking really hot right now and may just land a few more trophies and big checks before the year is through.

Pressel's Giant Pony

While I never thought I’d find myself discussing fashion on the golf course, has anyone else noticed the size of the polo pony on Morgan Pressel’s shirt? I’m a Ralph Lauren fan, but the shirt she had on yesterday had the pony for the visually impaired. Do you think they were concerned that it would get mixed up with a penguin or a seagull?

I also couldn’t help but notice Se Ri Pak’s nautical number that was designed by her sister, Yoo Ri. She always looks great on the course with her fun and unique clothes as well as her swing and demeanor, but the blue and yellow combo for the final round was a classic. I'm looking for a photo to share and will update when I come about one by some legal means.

It's difficult not to comment on clothes and other gear observations when the sponsors and commentators are working so hard to keep us distracted from golf. I'm betting Nike was hoping for another air horn when Wie withdrew...again...after 9. She seemed okay twirling her club as she walked down the course, I wonder what part of "Just Do It" she doesn't understand?
