Golf-Double champion Webb still hungry at U.S. Women's Open

Lancaster, Pennsylvania, July 8 (Reuters) - Hall of Famer Karrie Webb, the last back-to-back winner of the U.S. Women's Open, is still hungry for competition at age 40 and likes her chances in this week's edition at Lancaster Country Club.

"It's my favourite event, just because it's the golf course each year that asks the most of you," the Australian told Reuters as she walked off the practice putting green on the eve of Thursday's opening round.

Seven-times major winner Webb, playing in her 20th U.S. Women's Open and with a career profile that spans three pages in the tournament's Player Guide, remains a contender.
