GURNEE, Ill. – While golf is on the rise in Asian countries like China and Thailand, Mel Reid hopes a victory at the UL International Crown might bring a revival of sorts for women’s golf in England. A tall order to be sure from an event in only its second staging, but any buzz is good buzz.
“I think English golf is deteriorating,” said Reid. “Especially in the women’s game, especially with juniors.”
The English came in as the seventh seed, but given the chemistry of the team and their history together playing for country, they were certainly a dark-horse favorite.
