Ann Arbor, Mich. — The 8th edition of the US Senior Women’s Open is only in its 8th edition, and patterns are emerging. Juli Inkster still loves to play competitive golf. Defending champion Becky Morgan is enjoying another great tournament and do not count out Annika Sorenstam, the GOAT of women’s golf. Barton Hills CC is a great test of golf and the women know any Donald Ross course is to be respected.
Michelle Redman has the early lead
Two-time LPGA winner Michelle Redman takes the early lead after Juli Inkster’s late round crooked number. Redman played on the LPGA Tour from 1992 through 2011 and had two victories: the 1997 JAL Big Apple Classic and the 2000 First Union Betsy King Classic. She had her best finish on the money list in 2000, placing tenth. She was a member of the U.S. Solheim Cup team in 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2005. Her four birdies sprinkled with a bogey show solid play.
Only a triple can keep Juli Inkster Down
At 66-years-young, Juli Inkster still has game and a passion to play golf. Five birdies against a bogey got Inkster to four under early. Then a seven on the par four 15th got Inkster. She did earn a birdie on the short par- four 17th got her to two-under.
