DeChambeau would be scratching his head with the Yuka Saso enigma

Alejandro Rodríguez — Mon, 03 Jun 2024 17:36:55 +0000

– Yuka Saso emerged from nowhere in 2021 and won the US Open at the Olympic Club at just 19 years old. Let’s qualify the nowhere. She had won two tournaments on the Japan circuit, with a good handful of top 10s and had played three LPGA tournaments with a sixth place in the bag. […]

Yuka Saso (-4) has conquered this Sunday at the Lancaster Country Club in Pennsylvania the second US Open of her career.

Scoop: the US Open is going to be won by a woman with slanted eyes

Alejandro Rodríguez — Sat, 01 Jun 2024 22:45:18 +0000

Asia dominates at the US Women’s Open. The empire of the slanted eyes has invaded and conquered Lancaster like few times before in a Major. The top thirteen are Asian or of Asian origin, as well as seventeen of the top eighteen and twenty-three of the top twenty-five. Crazy. It’s a supremacy. Here’s the scoop: […]

The world upside down in Lancaster

Alejandro Rodríguez — Sat, 01 Jun 2024 00:57:51 +0000

The world’s number one golfer and six-time winner in 2024 has missed the cut at the US Women’s Open in Lancaster. Nelly Korda‘s (-10) effort to make it into the weekend was not enough. She had it in her sights. She was in after her third consecutive birdie at hole 8, she was one behind […]

Carlota makes the cut and allows herself to dream at the US Open

Alejandro Rodríguez — Fri, 31 May 2024 19:09:30 +0000

The struggles continue in Lancaster. The USGA is not letting up. The heat and wind continue. The difficulties persist. Uphill holes. The work suit. Every man for himself. The second day of the US Open is a continuation of the first. Six rounds under par in the morning shift. The feat of the week is […]

The honest confession of Nelly Korda about her debacle in Lancaster

Alejandro Rodríguez — Fri, 31 May 2024 11:30:48 +0000

Nelly Korda gave a lesson this Thursday in the first round of the US Women’s Open. Her golf was not up to her usual standard, but her attitude was outstanding. At the worst, which is when you can best assess the reaction of a great champion. She made 80 strokes and a septuple bogey (10) […]

Yuka Saso takes the lead and Carlota holds on in hell

Alejandro Rodríguez — Fri, 31 May 2024 00:15:09 +0000

The last time the US Open was a US Open as the canons dictate, Yuka Saso, a Filipina of Japanese origin, surprised the world by winning the tournament at the Olympic Club in San Francisco. She won with a meagre -4. Perhaps for this reason, we should not be too surprised that today, Thursday, she […]

Lancaster recovers the essence of the US Open and overruns Nelly Korda

Alejandro Rodríguez — Thu, 30 May 2024 18:48:47 +0000

Nelly Korda stands halfway between the 18th green and the 1st tee. She removes her visor, wipes the sweat from her forehead and remains completely still for several seconds, her head bowed, looking at the ground. Her attitude is strange. So much so that the security guard following her match approaches her and asks if […]

This is how painful Nelly’s ’10’ was on a par 3 at the US Open

Alejandro Rodríguez — Thu, 30 May 2024 14:59:45 +0000

The US Open has become almost impossible for Nelly Korda. In less than an hour of play at the Lancaster Golf and Country Club, her chances of victory have been reduced to a minimum. It is the new great incentive of the second women’s Major of the year. Will she be able to win after […]

Nelly Korda reveals her secret Coca Cola formula

Alejandro Rodríguez — Wed, 29 May 2024 19:27:24 +0000

With six victories in her last seven appearances, six of them consecutively, Nelly Korda is not only by far the best golf player of the moment, Number One of the Rolex Rankings with a very comfortable lead, but she presents herself week after week as the great favourite to win no matter what tournament she […]
