Juli Inkster is leading the Women's British Open with a 65, but Laura is one of those right behind her! She has not had a typical year in 2008, as she has had only 3 Top Ten finishes in 17 tournaments, but she can play! We root for her since she is from Upstate New York---Scotia, near Albany. She had had to juggle raising her young son, Cooper, while practicing and playing and has admitted that is not always easy. We hope she does well in the next three days as she chases one of the ULTIMATE working Moms, Juli Inkster.

Don't know what it is about Ms. Diaz, but I've always thought she was hot. I always pull for her. I love it when she plays well in the early rounds b/c they show more of her in the later rounds.

I happen to agree with you. She is hot, and looks even better in person. She is an interesting golfer as well. She grew up playing at ther Dad's driving range in Scotia, and grew to love golf. While other athletically-inclined kids were "gym rats" and played basketball, etc., she was a "range rat", and look how it has paid off!!

It doesn't matter who is leading after the first round, it only matters who is leading after the final round.

Really? Mighty observant of you.

Laura's having a much better year this year than last. And she's not the only one. Childbirth really seemed to mess up her game last year. Ditto Leta Lindley (which may be one reason why Annika is stepping away--I can't imagine her settling for a bad year).

Man, Laura had a crazy round today. She had 3 eagles, missed a putt for a 4th eagle, but ended up with a 72.

Talk about a roller coaster ride!! Even with the 72, she is tied for 9th and only 4 shots back, so she is still "in the hunt". I would love to see her win. One note: many of you may remember two years ago when her brother, Ron, Jr, played in the PGA Championship, and Laura caddied for him even though she was pregnant. The announcers pointed that out a few times, of course. They are a real golfing family!! Their Dad, Ron, Sr., runs a golf school in Amelia Island, Florida, in the winter, and at the Leatherstocking Golf Course in Copperstown in the summer. From their fondness for that area, Laura and Kevin gave their son the middle name "Cooper", which is what they usually call him.

Laura's roller coaster ride today had more downs than ups, and her 75 leaves her 10 shots out of the lead. She shot herself out of the tournament. Meanwhile, Natalie Gulbis is still there---only 4 back, after a 70! Would it not be something if she won, and nailed down her first Major before her friend, Paula Creamer?

She deserved to win. She was the dominant player all week. It was nice to see Creamer take a run at it and daaaaang she looked good today!

well another korean won the british open. well done.

She definitely deserved to win! I am going to stop rooting for people: Laura Diaz, Juli Inkster, Natalie Gulbis, and Paula Creamer. I am putting a HEX on them. Here are the top five finishers (NO Americans---Cristie Kerr was low American, in 6th place): RICOH Women's British Open Pos Player Today Thru Total 1 Ji-Yai Shin -6 F -18 2 Yani Tseng -6 F -15 T3 Eun-Hee Ji -5 F -14 T3 Yuri Fudoh -1 F -14 5 Ai Miyazato I think that I can pronounce the names of Yani, Yuri, and Ai, but I will probably stumble over the full names of Ji and Eun. Talk about an Oriental Domination, which keeps building year after year!!

Its was nice to see a couple of the Japanese ladies doing well too. I was disappointed that Gulbis didnt do better, but it was nice to see Creamer have a good final round.

I've followed both Yani Tseng and Ai Miyazato for rounds. Yani is an amazing ball striker. Ai is teeny and adorable--the driver looks bigger than she is. She has a funny little hitch at the top of her backswing that the camera doesn't seem to pick up. It was nice to see her place so highly.

Yes it was considering some make such a big deal about who the first round leader is.

good post. it does not matter what you do for 18 hoiles. the only thing that counts is the 72nd hole of a tourney.

I followed Ya Ni at the State Farm Classic in Illinois and she was awesome (until the playoff

) It is amazing how far she hits it.

      Not really, no. I don't know the history, what you've worked on, what you've tried and moved away from… etc.

      Favorite TV Show(s)

      Definitely not a favorite… For some reason my wife and I started watching Cobra Kai. I know the original was pretty cheesy, but the inability of these people to get over shit that happened like 30 years ago is astounding. And these kids would be arrested, but they don’t even seem to get suspended from school. Would Danny not notice that Johnny’s son looks like Johnny? Etc.? Why would a completely different dojo that has the same name be “banned”? Oy. Not sure we’ll make it to season 2.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 139 - 2025-02-16 Weather led to a rescheduled GEARS lesson, so I used the time to work on my swing for 60 minutes or so. All downswing stuff. Some swings at 93 MPH. Most around 75-80.

      My Swing (TN94z)

      By TN94z ·

      A question I have is…this swing (fade, pull cut) does not  feel as good and easily repeatable as the draw swing we were working on previously.  I’m kinda in a weird spot where I do not know which direction will be the best to pursue. I like seeing a penetrating 5 yard draw but also like the thought of the fade not getting away from me as much.    Any thoughts on that?
