LANCASTER, Pa. – Morgan Pressel is playing her 13th U.S. Women’s Open.
Yeah, she can’t get her head around it, either.
It doesn’t seem all that long ago that she marched onto the grandest stage in women’s golf as a 13-year-old at Pine Needles, the youngest player at that time to qualify for a U.S. Women’s Open. With a blond ponytail bobbing out of the back of her cap, with hazel eyes and a mouth full of tinny braces, she made her entrance back then with the poise of a child star. A small swarm of photographers were in tow the first time she stepped on the range that week in North Carolina.
