The stage is set for women's golf to finally get the attention it deserves.
The U.S. Women's Open is the biggest prize on the LPGA schedule and has been for years. It starts Thursday at CordeValle Golf Club, located among the vineyards a few hours south of San Francisco, only the third Women's Open to be played in California. No other major sporting events are scheduled for late afternoon this weekend, golf included. Devastating flooding forced the PGA Tour to cancel The Greenbrier Classic in West Virginia.
The cast of characters is stronger than ever.
