Teenager wins Women’s US Open
South Korean teenager Inbee Park became the youngest player to win the Women’s US Open with a four-shot victory at Interlachen Country Club on Sunday. Scotland’s Catriona Matthew was the best of the British players, finishing with a 73 to climb up to 17th. England’s Karen Stupples finished with a 75 and in a tie for 31st on five over, a mark that also included world number one Lorena Ochoa.
The 19 year old Inbee Park fired a two-under-par 71 in blustery conditions to clinch her maiden LPGA Tour title, eclipsing compatriot Pak Se-ri who won the tournament aged 20 in 1998. Park was the only player to break par in every round in securing her first win on the LPGA Tour. Her highest finishing position in an LPGA major was Tied for 4th in last year’s Women’s US Open.
Some of the golf clubs that Inbee Park uses are:
Putter: Odyssey White Hot Tour 1
US Women’s Open
So, we’re 1 day away from finding out the winner of the US Women’s Open in Minnesota and it’s not looking too good for the British ladies, Catriona Matthew, Laura Davies, Karen Stupples and Janice Moodie. Catriona Matthew is going to have to work hard over the next few days if she plans on beating her current highest position in the US Women’s Open. She is currently Tied for 7th and her best finish was Tied for 4th. However, she is doing better in this Major than she has in the previous two so far this year, missing out on the halfway cut at both the Kraft Nabisco Championship and LPGA Championship.
Even Annika Sorenstam is behind on her position last year. She may have finished in Tied for 2nd and tied for 3rd at the Ladies Majors so far this year, but she’s currently Tied for 50th, so she’s quite a way to go.

Lorena Ochoa: #1 Female Golfer
Lorena Ochoa began playing golf at the very early age of five winning her first state event at the age of six and her first national event at seven and now holds the title of the number one ranked female golfer in the world. Ochoa secured her first major title in last year’s Women’s British Open and is a hot favourite for this week’s Kraft Nabisco Championship at Mission Hills Country Club after claiming a seven-shot victory at the Safeway International.
Ochoa has used Ping equipment in all 18 of her professional wins and has been using Ping clubs since she was 13 years old. Lorena Ochoa had 14 Ping clubs in her bag when she won the HSBC Champions tournament in Singapore recently but it was her use of the new Ping Redwood ZB putter that made the greatest impact.
Ochoa’s bag also includes:
- Ping Rapture Driver,
- Ping G10 3-wood,
- Ping Rapture 5-wood,
- Ping Rapture 21° Hybrid,
- Ping S58 irons (4-9, PW)
- Ping Tour Wedges (50° and 56°).
Ladies Golf
The U.S. Women’s Open Championship will have probably caused many ladies to pick up a club and start golfing, but with there being so many golf retailers and types of equipment where do you start? A somewhat obvious place to start would be with the clubs themselves. Ladies golf clubs are made with the same craftsmanship as their male equivalents, but with added consideration and modification giving them a lighter overall weight than the male counterpart. Golf Buy It Online supplies a large choice of ladies golf clubs which are purposely manufactured for all levels of female golfer. For women looking for sets of irons then the Callaway Golf Gems Ladies Package set is ideal for those new to the game or the occasional high-handicap player looking to improve their game. If you are looking to improve your game then the Cobra Golf S9 Ladies Graphite Shafted Irons are a great choice as Cobra have made a lot of great irons for women, but these are their most advanced irons yet. If you are looking for a driver to advance your golf then the Ping Golf Rhapsody Ladies Series Drivers, which are engineered specifically for women, will help with longer flying shots. Obviously these are just a couple of examples of the large number of ladies golf clubs available from our online store. Whether you’re looking for Drivers, Irons, Fairways, Rescues, Putters or Wedges, you’ll be able to find just what you’re looking for at Golf Buy It Online.
