Hamilton Farm Golf Clubhouse
We arrived just before the Quarterfinal matches and watched the LPGA ladies prepare at the driving range and on the greens. Here is Amy Yang in her backswing and in her downswing. It's amazing what you can do with a speedy shutter!
Michelle Wie and Yang on the putting surface:
Watching the professional golfers tee off. Amateur golfers can learn a great deal from the LPGA finish position:
For golf aficionados, it's amazing how close you can get to the action!
Here are a few more pictures from the 9th green.
Although all of the ladies were cheered on, the one with the throngs of followers was none other than Michelle Wie.
I was standing next to the loudest of Michelle Wie's cheering section, Christina Kim, who mentioned that she wasn't "tweeting" today, but I was! You can see my cell phone action pics on Twitpic.com and you can always friend me on Twitter.com/Golf4Beginners.
As for Michelle Wie, she was eliminated by six-time LPGA winner Jiyai Shin. After winning 2&1, Wie was asked about her game and she said, "I didn't play as well as I wanted. I think I know exactly what I need to work on. I'm going to work hard the next two weeks and try to win."
Perhaps Wie shouldn't have been so concerned with changing outfits during the break...
Too bad both Ai Miyazato and Michelle Wie were knocked out of contention at the Sybase event but there will be great final round golf action tomorrow when Shin rallies against Sun Young Yoo and Angela Stanford battles against Amy Yang.
