Too bad not more has come from her since.<BR/><BR/>The problem with operations like the AP, GolfDigest, etc, going to cover the LPGA Tour majors is that they send their PGA Tour guys to do it. To Golfweek's credit, Beth Ann Baldry is dedicated to the LPGA and does some very nice reporting for them. Tough to find the same thing at a big golf operation.Waggle Room Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16159423855569109162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757252870842393813.post-9139726187591778112008-04-02T16:12:00.000-04:002008-04-02T16:12:00.000-04:00As for Pressel being stolen, Kim's record isn't ve...As for Pressel being stolen, Kim's record isn't very good but she made the shot. If Birdie did the usual score at 18, bogey we would still have had a 3-way playoff. Pressel, Brittany Lang, and Kim. Morgan wasn't guaranteed to win, and I don't see the Open as being stolen from her.<BR/><BR/>Are you falling for one of the LPGA meme going around too? ;)<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>Bill<BR/><BR/>PS- The Florida Masochist is my original blog and this is my blogger sign in.The Florida Masochisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09796560982160523028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757252870842393813.post-84130288184648803912008-04-02T16:09:00.000-04:002008-04-02T16:09:00.000-04:00Ryan,My criticism of Ferguson here is its the same...Ryan,<BR/><BR/>My criticism of Ferguson here is its the same Golf media meme. How many times can we hear- Look at all the young players, how great is Ochoa, How many majors has Ochoa let slip by, all of this has been covered time after time after time. If you want me to I can give you links to blogposts of mine on last year's US Open coverage. Are these the only stories out there among the 150-200 players on tour?<BR/><BR/>I'd just like to hear something original for a change.

Last year'...Bill, <BR/>Both points are absolutely true. Last year's KNC was a chokefest. Pressel held up best in the situation and held on for the win. Ochoa is certainly not alone in getting criticized for not winning. Still, wounds can run deep and I think that is the point that Ferguson tries to make here.<BR/><BR/>As for the 2005 USWO, I don't think that was as big of a choke as was originally made to be. Really, Morgan should have 2 majors to her credit because it was stolen from her. Ochoa was playing to win there and I admired that - even if she didn't execute it.Waggle Room Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16159423855569109162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757252870842393813.post-19665618329911428262008-04-02T13:45:00.000-04:002008-04-02T13:45:00.000-04:00As for Ochoa in the 2005 US Open.
