Great golf, great theater last weekend at the US Women’s Open. Would Ochoa finally breakthrough to win her first major tournament? Could Morgan Pressel summon some last round heroics? Instead it was American Cristie Kerr who provided the final knock out punch to all competitiors with a tremendous birdie on the difficult 14th and 4 straight tough pars to bring it home. Well done Cristie!
“Cristie’s first: Kerr wins U.S. Open

SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. – Even with the silver trophy at her side, Cristie Kerr felt uneasy sharing the premonition she had all year about coming to Pine Needles and winning the U.S. Women’s Open.
She might not have scripted it quite like this.
With a swing she spent the weekend trying to fix, Kerr played the final 45 holes with only two bogeys. She three-putted only once all week on the treacherous Donald Ross greens by using a putter she purchased at a pro shop in South Korea.
And going head-to-head with the No. 1 player in the world Sunday afternoon, Kerr drilled an 18-foot birdie putt on the 14th hole to take the lead and then watched as Lorena Ochoa made another series of mistakes down the stretch in a major.
“When I stepped on the grounds this week, it was just magic,†Kerr said after closing with a 1-under 70 for a two-shot victory over Ochoa and Angela Park to end her 0-for-41 drought in the majors.”
