What a five week stretch of tournaments! The LPGA ending five weeks of tournaments at Oakmont Country Club in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania was awesome!!!
U.S. Open’s are so special! Being an American an dcompeting in the Open is an honor. It’s such an exciting week as we typicallyhave our largest galleries! It’s always incredible to see so many fans. Thank you to everyone who came out to watch the Open, and to those who watched the event on TV. I only caught a few minutes on NBC, but the course sparkled. Oakmont is a course rich in tradition and history. It’s also the trickiest course I have ever played! Below,you can see a photo of me with my wonderful hostesses at my U.S. Open housing.
In addition to golf, the week was packed with appearances for my corporate partners. My partner, Lexus, had a great event at the Lexus Club at PNC Park in downtown Pittsburgh (think 200+ in a luxury setting) on Tuesday. Later in the week, I had an autograph signing for TaylorMade-Adidas and Lexus in the merchandise tent, as well as one in the Lexus show room off site. I also did a meet and greet for partner Michelob ULTRA. My final appearance was after the tournament, when I played Oakmont the Monday after the event with 8 contest winners from the yearly Lexus sweepstakes event. You can see a photo from that day below too.
It was a lot different playing that Monday on soft receptive greens at 8 am! The greens at Oakmont this week were fast and challenging and the course was in perfect shape, despite the Friday storms. I learned that after the storms, the maintenance crew stayed up all night to get the course ready for us on the weekend. The weather over the weekend was perfect! See another picture below from my Lexus outing on Monday where they let me ride the greens mower on the 17th green.
It was definitely intense having two Majors in five weeks. I’m exhausted and looking forward to this week off. The next two events are in Europe. The Evian Masters in France and the British Open in the UK! This week I will be watching the PGA at the British, spending time with my team at IMG in NYC and practicing for the two big events coming up!
Hope everyone had a great Fourth of July holiday and enjoyed watching the LPGA Tour play in the USA the past 5 weeks!!
