2014 Evian Championship, Final ladies major of 2014

[joekelly]

Way up in the Alps, next to Lake Geneva, the golf ladies of the world will gather this weekend and knit together a 4 day  event of high excitement, and no doubt enjoy the trappings of this ultra-lux resort. .

All the top ladies, including last week's winner, from Holland, Dewi Clare Schreefel. will compete for total purse of US$3.3 million, winner taking home $485K.  Course plays to 6500 yards.

what a beautiful place.  i think this area and Crans-sur-sierre in Switzerland are just gorgeous.

Korean girl, Hyo Joo Kim,  shoots minus TEN, day one. That's what happens with 10 birdies, others par. KWebb 4 back, other players further down. MWie WD after 6 holes due to injured hand.

And now that same lady is +3 after the first 9 holes. Dewi Claire is T5 at this moment.

Anyone know what happened to Ryu to get DQ'd after the first round?

I lost almost all interest when Wie WDed.

Depending on the leaderboard tomorrow/Sunday, I may lose what remains.

Ditto.  Some how I was hoping to see Wie make a run for her second "major".  But alas, it was not to be.

HJKim, the teen who shot -10 first day, wins first LPGA tourney with -11, one stroke better  than KWebb.  3 more Koreans follow at -9 and -8. Lots of high scores 3rd and 4th rounds.

I caught a bit of the tournament replayed the other night, and the greens looked pretty ridiculous. Very steep and fast.

When I told my wife we would go to the tournament in Prattville next Saturday I didn't know it was the week after a Major (in another country no less). (SMH!) Most of the bigger names probably won't even fly back to play. Oh well I guess we'll watch whoever shows up. ;-)
