Around the wider world of golf: Wu Ashun won the KLM Open on the ET; Paul Broadhurst won the Ally Challenge on the Champions Tour; Sangmoon Bae won the Albertsons Boise Open on the Web.com Tour; Danny Walker won on the the Freedom 55 Financial Championship on the Mackenzie Tour - PGA TOUR Canada; Nico Echavarría won the Sao Paulo Golf Club Championship on the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica; Hyemin Kim won the Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout on the Symetra Tour; and -- dual events here -- Viraj Madappa won the Take Solutions Masters and Sanghyun Park won the Shinhan Donghae Open on the Asian Tour.
In a match with a dozen thrilling storylines, it became a longstanding one which received out.
Solheim stalwart Angela Stanford is sooner or later a chief champion, turning into the second one-oldest female to do so. She turns 41 in November and had nearly given up wish of winning a major, given how the "junior" gamers have dominated these days.
But Angela is a grinder -- it's part of the cause she's been on six Solheim Cup groups -- and her dramatic 4-hollow end with eagle-double bogey-birdie-par got her in the clubhouse tied with then chief Amy Olson. She idea she had lost.
Then the unthinkable passed off. Olson doubled the 18th to complete one shot returned. A greatly surprised Stanford cried, so emotional that she may want to slightly speak.
It's no mystery that her mother is combating cancer again, or that her mother informed her to return play Evian anyway because "that is what she does." What we did not recognize became that Angela's mom had given her some swing recommendation earlier this season, advice that reputedly changed into simply what she wished Sunday.
Of path, another award become given out after the match. Ariya Jutanugarn won the Annika Award for the first-class document on this 12 months's majors, but I doubt that Angela is specially involved approximately that. She's too busy heading domestic to celebration along with her circle of relatives.
But I have a surprise for Angela. Because of the manner tournaments fell this week, Angela additionally snags a rare Limerick Summary... And she or he's waited lengthy enough for it, do not you observed?
Pundits say, ?The ball don?T know your age.?
Sunday, Angela proved that?S the case!
Though she?S creeping past forty,
Her recreation changed into nevertheless sporty
Enough for the Evian stage. The photo came from this page at lpga.com.
