Finally, an American woman wins an LPGA tournament. Congratulations to Morgan Pressel for her victory in the Kraft Nabisco Championship, one of the majors on the women’s tour. Nice to see the fresh-faced 18-year-old jumping into the greenside lake to celebrate the win. Too often, the LPGA leaderboard looks like a cross between the Seoul telephone directory and a Scandinavia Air passenger list. And what does it say about women’s golf when one of their biggest tournaments is sponsored by a cheese and crackers company? Can you imagine the men competing for the coveted Midas Muffler Jiffy Lube Championship? Oops, I forgot about the FedEx Cup. Never mind.
