Natalie Yen already etched her name into the USGA record books once this year – and she’s not done chasing history.

With another deep run over the next three days, Yen could become just the fifth female to win two USGA championships in the same calendar year.
The new Ping i240 irons are inviting more players to the table with something new and something old. The something new is absolute performance improvements that will clearly benefit different groups of players. The something old is that i230 familiarity which keeps just enough of the "if it's not broke don't fix it," overall i-Series goodness.
You can read all about the new features and technologies of the i240 irons on Ping's website. And I'll have a stand alone i240 irons review after my build arrives. This review is going to focus on head-to-head comparisons between the previous model i230 irons and these new i240 irons. And i240 truly has something irresistibly awesome for everyone.
Grace Carter, 15, of Jupiter, Fla., carded a bogey-free, 4-under 67 on Tuesday morning at Atlanta Athletic Club’s Riverside Course in Johns Creek, Ga., wrapping up her stroke play portion of the 76th U.S. Girls' Junior Championship at 6-under-par 136 and atop the leader board as play was suspended due to darkness with 24 players still needing to complete their second rounds.

I told you last week on social media that one of my all-time favorite guest reviews is coming. And here it is. Daniel won my recent Club Champion iron fitting and custom built set of irons giveaway. And in one month since putting them in play he's lowered his handicap almost three strokes. Talk about confirmation of Better Fit, Lower Scores!
