Ricoh Women's British Open Preview, Pairings, and More.

This week the LPGA moves to Milton Keynes, England for the playing of the RICOH women's British Open. Inbee Park won this title last year by 3 strokes over second place finisher Jin Young Ko. 

Here is my preview:

Very disappointed to find that the FoxSports coverage of the RICOH Womens British Open on Astro is not being shown in HD. Same thing happened with the Womens US Open a couple of weeks ago.

Congrats Ariya!

Amazing maturity for someone so young.

Her three consecutive wins last May helped her a lot in terms of confident and how to put on a killer instinct when needed. The difference between Mirim Lee and her was only one stroke with 3 holes to play when the latter made a double bogey. Can see that she was a little stress at that time. She certainly hope that history would not repeat itself (like in last ANA Inspiration). Mirim eventually failed to close up the gap as her drives were a little wayward (hook left) and she needed to scramble in the process. Ariya made a birdie putt on the 17th to widen the gap ... A sigh of relieve from her ... The rest was history.
