The Korean ladies golfer Jeong Jang (JJ) selected the British Women’s Open Golf championship at Royal Birkdale, Southport, to win her first title. What’s much more she led from begin to finish to win by 4 obvious shots. Birkdale is a typical British seaside links, undulating greens guarded by deep bunker traps.

Her final score of 16 under par was much as well great for her rivals who could not get shut sufficient to land a telling blow. JJ claimed the first prize of 160,000 pounds sterling from a total prize purse of much more than a million pounds, comfortably her greatest ever payday.

The chilly moist weather of earlier in the week finally created way for some sunshine to welcome JJ into the final stretch. Sophie Gustafson of Sweden completed in 2nd location on minus twelve, with another Korean, Young Kim finishing in joint third with the teenage sensation Michelle Wie on minus ten. Annika Sorenstam completed a further shot again after suffering an out of bounds penalty as she pressed late on to get in touch.

Afterwards JJ gave her caddie huge credit score for all the guidance and assistance he had proven her. The charismatic Michelle Wie took the Smith’s Salver as the highest placed novice. When interviewed she stated she still had not decided when she ought to turn professional. She is incredibly still only fifteen years previous.

The thought that a fifteen-year-previous boy could enter the Open and run so shut to the winner is absolute fantasy, yet Michelle Wie is currently a power to be reckoned with in the women’s game. She revealed she is thinking about entering the men’s open to run on the exact same course in 2008, and who is to say this is not simply the self-confidence of youth?

There is some thing of the Tiger Woods about her, definitely she brought again reminiscences of the youthful novice Tiger playing in the Walker Cup in 1995. She is a breath of clean air for women’s golf, there is little doubt about that, and a breath that is sorely needed after women’s golf memberships in Britain have been remarkably falling. The sport has been crying out for a youthful interesting talent. Golf has one now.

But this was JJ’s day, and the likeable Korean endured a dousing in champagne immediately after sinking the final put, prior to setting off with her enthusiasts for a celebratory night out in Southport.

Betting on JJ after day two was light as she showed few signs of letting her grip on the giant Waterford Crystal trophy slip. Afterwards she stated she would have to begin operating out in purchase to lift the heavy prize. Beginning the day two to one on, she swiftly went shorter and her odds on winning progressively slipped throughout the afternoon.
