Golfing News

The RICOH Women’s British Open has followed the trend started by Greg Norman at the Mens British Open with a Senior Player top of the leaderboard. Juli Inkster who is 48 is leader after the first round at Sunningdale Golf Club in Berkshire, England, as the Fourth and Final Major Championship in Ladies Golf begins. If Inkster goes on to win the British Ladies Open she will become the oldest major winner, and only the second palyer to complete the LPGA Super Career Grand Slam of all current majors plus the du Maurier Classic when that was a major too.

Juli Inkster a 31 time winner on the LPGA has a one shot lead after her 7 under par 65. The round was blemish free with 5 birdies and a Eagle and not one Bogey. Inkster had an early tee time and she posted her 7 under par round after birdies on the first and 5th holes, and then on the par 4 9th Inkster sunk a 18 foot putt to record an eagle, the rest of her round included more birdies on the 10th 12th and 14th Holes.
Inkster leads a group of players who hit 66 today including Stacy Prammanasudh Yuri Fudoh Momoko Ueda Johanna Head Ji-Yai ShinLaura Diaz and Ji-Young Oh.

Defending Champion, World Number One, and Tournament favourite Lorena Ochoa had a great start with no bogeys up to the 15th hole and birdies were achieved at the first, second, ninth tenth and 14th, but two bogeys at 16, and 17 meant that Orena ended the day 22nd at 3 under after a 69. Ochoa is still within striking distance of the top spot.
