WOBURN, England – There’s a marked difference between this week’s Ricoh Women’s British Open at Woburn Golf Club and last year’s British Masters here. The members can sense it.
So can I.
Lydia Ko, Brooke Henderson and the rest of the field seem far more grateful to be playing for a $3 million prize fund than the men were to be competing for $4.5 million.
It has nothing to do with the major-championship status of this week’s tournament compared with the British Masters’ position as a good European Tour event. It has everything to with attitude.
