Remember how Lorena Ochoa won the Women's British Open? Well, that's how Tiger Woods won the PGA Championship today. Not like how Akiko Fukushima smoked the field (including Paula Creamer and Momoko Ueda) in Japan or Catriona Matthew's charge (past Laura Diaz, Brittany Lincicome, Sophie Gustafson, Suzann Pettersen, and Maria Hjorth) in Sweden this week on the JLPGA and LET--just by firing one-super-low early round and then playing smart, solid golf the rest of the way, challenging the field to do more than follow the leader. Good job catching Lorena in the majors total for 2007, Tiger! Even if your back 9 was a lot more stressful than hers, a win is a win, right?
[Update: And speaking of wins, how about Maria Jose Uribe's win at the U.S. Women's Amateur? She knocked off three players you'll be hearing a lot from in a few years on the LPGA--Amanda Blumenherst in the finals, Ha Na Jang in the semis, and Mina Harigae in the quarters. Impressive!]
