Titleist GT Drivers and Fairway Woods FIRST LOOK - A Titleist GT2, GT3, and GT4 Fitting Review

Coming into my Titleist GT driver and fairway woods fitting I was probably more excited than any previous Titleist fitting I've had.  I told you all about all the new tech in the GT line of drivers and woods just over a week ago.  And the chance to finally hit these and see if they lived up to the hype had my adrenaline spiking.  Or so I thought.

The GT lineup actually overdelivered on the hype and my adrenaline continued to rise throughout my fitting.  And I'm not merely talking about liking one model more than the other.  All three GT driver models and both GT fairway wood models legitimately improved ball speed, distance, forgiveness, control, and playability.  There's also a more satisfying and livelier feel at impact with all GT drivers and fairway woods.

Tuesday marked the conclusion of stroke play at the 124th U.S. Women’s Amateur and marked the hottest day of the year in Tulsa, Okla., with temperatures hitting 104 degrees just after 4 p.m. local time. Players not only faced the challenge of a USGA setup on a course known for its difficult test and even tougher greens, but the relentless sun pushed those in the afternoon wave through an intense test of endurance and skill.

Malixi (-4) Continues USGA Heater at U.S. Women's Am in Oklahoma

It comes as no surprise that birdies were hard to find during the first round of the 124th U.S. Women’s Amateur, given Southern Hills Country Club has long been renowned for its demanding test of golf. The last major championship played at the iconic Tulsa, Okla., venue was the 2022 PGA Championship, won by Justin Thomas with a final score of 5-under par. It’s the highest winning score of a PGA Championship over the last 16 years.

In what is the USGA’s tenth trip to Southern Hills, and first since the 2009 U.S. Amateur, Monday’s championship play saw just eight of the 156 players in the field finish the day under par, with an average score of 76.5.

Final-Round 64 Propels Leta Lindley to ​​​​​​​U.S. Senior Women's Open Title at Fox Chapel

Leta Lindley, who had knocked on the door twice at the U.S. Senior Women’s Open, finally gained entry to the winner’s circle on Sunday with a sizzling final-round, 7-under-par 64 at demanding Fox Chapel Golf Club to win the championship by two strokes over Kaori Yamamoto. Lindley’s 72-hole winning score was 9-under-par 275.

Beginning the final round five strokes behind Yamamoto, who led after each previous round, Lindley made birdies on five of the first eight holes to pull two strokes ahead. By the time play entered the treacherous back nine, Lindley was at 7 under par and Yamamoto at 6 under with no one else closer than five strokes, essentially becaming a two-woman race down the stretch.

Kaori Yamamoto Chased by Experienced Players Heading into U.S. Senior Women's Open's Final Round

Among the things in plenty of supply at the 6th U.S. Senior Women’s Open – along with talent – is experience. These women have seen it all, and that knowledge was helpful on Saturday when dangerous weather at Fox Chapel Golf Club halted third round play for three hours. When play resumed, Kaori Yamamoto ran into some choppy water but ended 54 holes at 7-under-par 206, five strokes ahead of a ton of experience.

Yamamoto, who has played the Japan LPGA and Japan Legends Tour combined for three decades, relied on her experience to hold off a pair of World Golf Hall of Fame members: Annika Sorenstam, a four-time USGA champion, and Juli Inkster who has five USGA trophies at home, plus Leta Lindley, who has been runner-up in the last two U.S. Senior Women’s Opens and Mikino Kubo. They are all five back at 211.

The American arrived at his second appearance at the Games on the back of winning The Open Championship two weeks ago and has continued his excellent form at Le Golf National.

Kaori Yamamoto Sets 36-Hole Scoring Record at Weather-Delayed U.S. Senior Women's Open

Part of the test of championship golf is the ability to adapt to whatever life throws at you, whether it’s a bad lie, bad bounce or, in the case of Friday’s second round of the 6th U.S. Senior Women’s Open, bad weather. With tee times at Fox Chapel Golf Club delayed more than three hours by nature, it’s somehow fitting that Kaori Yamamoto, whose circuitous path to this championship included caddying in it last year and going through a qualifier this year, has the lead going into the weekend.

With most of Friday's afternoon wave needing to finish their second round Saturday morning, Yamamoto is at 8-under-par par 134, breaking the 36-hole scoring record for the championship by two strokes. Of those who finished on Friday, the closest chasers are five-time USGA champion Juli Inkster, four-time USGA champion Annika Sorenstam and Leta Lindley at 2-under-par 140, six strokes behind Yamamoto.

Kaori Yamamoto Sizzles to First Round Lead at 6th U.S. Senior Women’s Open

The hot, humid air clung to the hills hovering over the Allegheny River and turned an already challenging Fox Chapel Golf Club in Pittsburgh into an even hotter pressure cooker in Thursday’s first round of the 6th U.S. Senior Women’s Open. As late-day shadows crept across the course, Kaori Yamamoto, who played in the heat of the afternoon, was in at 4-under-par 67, one stroke better than Christa Johnson and Lisa Grimes, who went out in the relative cool of the morning.

At 69 is two-time runner-up Leta Lindley with Mikino Kubo and Corina Kelepouris, who made an eagle on the par-4 fifth hole, at 70. Alicia Dibos, Catrin Nilsmark, amateur Kristine Franklin and Annika Sorenstam are at even-par 71.
