10u.s. women’s open preview
the broadmoor was where it all started for annika sorenstam in 1995 when she made her first
lpga victory the u.s. women’s open on her way to a hall of fame career in which she won 72
times with 10 majors, including three u.s. opens. now, yani tseng goes into colorado springs
with the history book seemingly a blank page in front of her ready to be filled in. the 22-year-old
power hitter from taiwan already has four majors—sorenstam didn’t get her first until she was
24—and a victory at the broadmoor would make tseng the youngest player, male or female, to
complete the career grand slam. her 10-stroke victory at the wegmans lpga championship
two weeks ago—her third lpga win of the year and fifth worldwide—established tseng as the
breakout player the lpga has been searching for since sorenstam—and then lorena ochoa—
went into early retirement. in the thin air of the 6,000-foot broadmoor, you have to like tseng’s
chances to make yet more history. for more on tseng, watch tim rosaforte’s video. —R.S.
