This is looking like maybe a tough course. It will be played at over 7,000 yards, the longest course in history for Women and about the same length the senior men played a few years ago. Six under won that one. Altitude will help, about 6000 feet, but it also makes calculating playing yardages tougher.
It's in the mountains so it should play hard and fast.
The Broadmoor East Course in Colorado Springs.
Past champions on this course include:
Major events played at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs:
Year Event Winner
1959 U.S. Amateur Jack Nicklaus
1962 Curtis Cup United States
1967 U.S. Amateur Bob Dickson
1982 U.S. Women's Amateur Juli Inkster
1995 U.S. Women's Open Annika Sorenstam
2008 U.S. Senior Open Eduardo Romero
Other events
• NCAA Championships (1953, 1957, 1960, 1964, 1969)
• World seniors tournament (1960-2001)
• Trans-Mississippi Champ. (1927, 1930, 1933, 1939, 1949, 1964, 1996)
It's interesting that the last time Inkster played a US Open where she had won a US Amateur was at Prarie Dunes, she won, out dueling Annika. I bet that thought has crossed her mind this week.
Here is a good map of the layout:

If you want to get a photo with an LPGA player, it's NOT normally this much work.

My two dark horses are both playing well.
Cindy Lacrosse, win, place or show.
(A) Amy Anderson a dark horse for low amateur.
Both at T2 early in the round. I hope Amy has someone get a photo of the leader board when her name goes up there at #18. |

Update:
Weather delay.
Anderson and Kerr are tied for the early lead at 2 under. Lots of interest in Anderson. Anderson creating quite a buzz. This may be the tweet of the day.
Now that's funny Randall! RT @RandallMellGC Amy Anderson, 18, leads US Wom Open. Major accounting, minor fraud investigation at N.Dakota St. Bet she gets scorecard right.
ETA: Great interview on ESPN, this awe shucks schtick makes great press but don't let her fool ya. She's now a Jr. and just turning 19 Sunday. More great press. What struck me about Anderson is she wins Div I golf tournaments, 4 this spring alone I think, without ever practicing outside at home. She's been in CO Springs preparing over a week now, the most ever I'm sure for a competitive event away from Oxbow, ND. She plays men amateur events in ND all summer. She is the 09 USGA Girls Jr Champion, there are not that many of those in this event and they are all good.
If we all get our 15 minutes, Anderson just got an overnight stay.

Good day to watch, coverage just started, Ryann O'toole, model looks and hits it big, Lewis, Creamer, Yani, good coverage.
#2 is set up at only 265 yds, lot's of player will be going for this green. OToole can get there easily. |

Well, here we are on Saturday and Amateur Amy Anderson's 15 minutes of fame has extended to the 3rd day! And she's only played 18 holes! (They, WERE, 18 good holes) statistically perfect. No chip ins, no long putts, just solid. Between the rain delays, scheduling shifts.
Anderson is sitting in the cat bird seat. If she were a top pro, everyone would be saying she's in the cat bird seat. Not only on the leader board but also scheduling. She's sitting there right now in 2nd, and she's logged less time at the golf course, more time resting than anyone and it's probably going to go over into a Monday finish.
The top players are all going to be sweating a Monday finish because the Evian starts Thursday in France, and getting there, practicing and travel are going to beat them down. They are playing for the same big money in France. 6.5 million in purse in two weeks.
If was playing bad today, on the cut line today w/ticket to France. I'd consider missing a couple of putts.
ETA: It's too much ask an Amatuer to handle this kind of pressure. Anderson should just hit shots and make the cut, then I'd want to be low Amatuer, then I'd want to finish top ten which is a free ticket to same thing next year, and probably some LPGA exemptions like Kraft Nabisco. Final qualifying for the British. A top five might get her in the British? |

They are showing live coverage on ESPN3, so good chance we may have coverage all day today, or until the rain starts again  |

It's on ESPN2 right now |
Well, I may as well watch it on my oversize computer screen. I have my home theater neo 6 cinema sound plugged in 
Wow, that Ryann O'Toole can bomb the ball! She hit one near 300 into the side of a hill. And she's nice to look at, I think she is more fit than Ochoa was.
This is going to be the best coverage ever for a LPGA event. |

Looking at the course hole ranking summary, this thing won't be over most likely until the last hole or the last putt.
8/10 of the hardest holes are on the back nine with #18 being #1.
Hole Yards Par Average Rank Avg.
Drive Fwys
Hit Cost of
Rough Greens in
Regulation Putts
1 420 4 4.316 7 68.9% 0.291 50.4% 1.78

Total 7047 71 75.241 262.0 67.0% 0.308 59.7% 1.79
Looking at the leaders, if O'Toole could settle down, she would have a real shot at this. Her wedges and putting have not been good enough so far. I think it alot of it is just adrenalin, but you have to club for that, even a sand wedge. |

Check that, Yani is now only 3 back, so she or a number of players could post a good score and watch the leaders fall back. Someone could win this sitting in the club house watching for an hour. |

LPGA says play to resume at [8:00] pm Eastern, NBC coverage.
I don't see it happening looking at radar. |

Stanford is in the zone. Love to see her win, albeit I'm sure they won't finish tonight. albeit they should, I do notice a definite uptick in speed of play, they are right on the bubble to finish if they hurry, funny how that works. Most of these players on the leader board need to catch a flight to France tomorrow, same purse as this one, considered to be the 5th major. If they have to play tomorrow, won't get a practice round unless some body charters a jet(s). LPGA/LET maybe?
Love to see a number of these players win! |

Geez the golf Gods are so cruel, she (Seo) was cruising along, the weather comes up, she 3 putts 17, her first after 70 holes. Then she faces the toughest hole, into a 20 mph wind, she hits her tee shot weak fade (can't hit outta her own shadow) in the fairway, the chimes go off in her back swing, then she stripes her second shot, chimes and all. I think she is one short putt from winning. Maybe, maybe not. But if so, she deserves it. |

The Golf Gods can be nice too, they will test players. With SEO in the clubhouse, play was suspended for weather again. SEO held a 1 shot lead over Ryu (16th hole); 2 shot lead over Kerr(17th hole); and 3 shot lead over Stanford (14th hole).
Monday morning finish, Kerr missed a birdie putt on 17, done.
Stanford made a great birdie on the par 3 16th, about 12 feet, slick, just fell in the side door, 2 down. She stuck her 3rd on the par 5 17th about 7 feet left. It was one of those tough to read Broadmoor putts but it was inside the hole, either way, coulda played it dead center. Bad stroke, pull. I think it's just no confidence in what the putt will do.
So that is the story of this Open. Total failure to read the greens by most players. I've played mountain and hill courses, there is an art to read the topography balanced by the architectural counter mounding, optical illusions. Even in W. Texas and other courses there are greens counter mounded to the drainage. I think most players were just way over thinking it to the point they lost all confidence. At that point you can't even put a good stroke on it. Maybe they all got there too early. A regular event; it's one practice round and go with what you got. At least you pick a line and putt a good stroke on it. Sometimes wrong line wrong speed goes in!
Ryu was one behind SEO, starting on 16. Now Ryu is sorta a Morgan Pressel type on the KLPGA, the second strongest tour in the world. She won her first pro tourney, at 17 years of age on the KLPGA. Had several wins but no majors. She was a qualifier into the Open. Apparently before this tourney she had a heart to heart with her parents at Niagara Falls of all places. They told her to wipe the slate clean, throw out the baggage, we'll buy some more when we get there My words not hers.
Her first tee shot on the par 3 16th was bunkered right to a tight pin with little green to work with. A nervous weak swing. That was the last of those she would put forth... as she finished the hole with a beautiful soft textbook shot and a tap in.
She hit her third to the par 5 17th at the hole but 20 feet short, if some spectator had farted her birdie putt would have gone in the side door, that close, par, still 1 shot behind. She split the fairway on the par 4 #18, the #1 toughest hole all week playing 4.47. Her second shot hit just short left of the hole and trickled down the slope to about five feet. It was a fast, downhill, inside left putt to tie, dead center!
Unfortunately for SEO, I think the playoff was over before it started. SEO was hitting her first shot the day in a 3 Hole playoff. Most of us golfers have played first shots with one eye open nursing a slight hangover. But never in a playoff for a US Open. SEO hit a good shot into the par 3 16th but left it about where Stanford did.
You can watch the rest of the playoff here on ESPN3:

Ryu birdied 17 and , and finished with an exclamation birdie on 18. The champion is Ryu So Yeon.
She is an elegant player with a great golfing demeanor and very attractive! Both of these young Koreans are. The crowd embraced and cheered both. It was a very good crowd for a Monday morning finish. Excellent and well done Colorado Springs. I think this player will come to the LPGA next year if not sooner. She has a great opportunity and the talent to be a great player. History says she already is...
The amateur winners this week were all four who made the 60 and ties cut out of 156 players. Moriya Jutanugarn, low amateur.
Amy Anderson, I think has finally proved to the golf world that she can play, even if she is from Oxbow, ND attending NDSU. A part timer really. I wonder how many college coaches got in her ear this week I don't think you have to sit out a year if you transfer in golf? Anderson could do that anyway because she is only 19 and she wants a masters. At this point I just can't think of many good reasons for her to remain at NDSU and several good reasons to transfer. She played with former Cowgirl Karin Sjodin the last two days. Stillwater is about the size of Fargo, they have a winter and first class facilities, and some of the best courses in the world that you can drive to and play in one day.
Southern Hills, Oak Tree, Golf Club of Oklahoma, Twin Hills CC, maybe even Prairie Dunes in Hutchinson, KS; go to Oklahoma State Amy! I'm talking to you Mike Holder 
Go to OK State Amy!
The other Big winner I think is Ryann O'Toole. There are only two female golfers in the world who can hit a golf as authoritative as Yani, high, with spin and those two are Ryann and Pettersen. She won enough money this week to lock up full field exemption for next year. She is currently #41 on the money list. Ryann spent two years on the futures tour winning three times to get there. She even played on Golf Channel's Big Break TV show. Well Ryann earned her own big break this week and I'm glad, because I want to see her play.
It was a great US Women's Open despite the weather and a game changer for several players I think, I hope.
