Teens on parade at Cherry Hills.
(From AP Worldstream)
Byline: DOUG FERGUSON
Two teenagers in pink shirts and ponytails showed Saturday that history at the U.S. Women's Open doesn't have to be all about Annika Sorenstam and the Grand Slam.
Michelle Wie was a 15-year-old model of poise at Cherry Hills, relying on power to get out of some rough spots on her way to a 1-over 72 while playing in the final group. She was tied for the lead with 17-year-old Morgan Pressel, whose game is built around passion and putting. She shot a 70 to get into the final group.
They were joined at 1-over 214 by Karen Stupples of England, the last player besides Sorenstam to win a major on the LPGA Tour. She made six straight birdies in her round of 69.
One shot behind was 18-year-old Paula Creamer.
A victory by Wie or Pressel would make them the youngest to ever capture a major championship. Creamer could be the youngest to win a major in America. All of them are playing well enough to do it.
