South Korea's Shin Jiyai Wins Women's British Open

Shin Jiya at Royal Liverpool Golf Club, Hoylake.

The 2012 event was won in spectacular fashion by Shin.  I didn't brave the rain and wind at Hoylake today.  Had to watch it on TV from home in Coventry. Since I took this photograph on Wednesday's practice day, thought it good to include it here.

The final results were as follows:

-9: J Shin (Kor) 

Par: I Park (Kor)

 

+1: P Creamer (US)

 

+2: M Miyazatyo (Jpn)

 

Selected others: +3: K Webb (Aus); +7: C Matthew (Sco); +8 C Kerr (US), M Wie (US).

Two Coventry Kids At Hoylake

Well, I don't know who the man is (don't believe that) with England's Professional Golfer, Laura Davies, on practice day for the Women's British Open 2012 at Royal Liverpool Hoylake Golf Club.

John of Coventry & Laura Davies
Both Coventry Kids

Laura just qualifies to be a Coventry Kid.  She was born in Coventry but moved to London soon after.

PS  I have suffered the perils of trying to do this post using unfamiliar equipment and wifi on the road.  Not a good idea.  I didn't even come close to following the Caltech practice of proofreading 10 times by 10 people. So it was posted, a couple of important errors found, then everything crashed.   Hopefully, all sorted now and finally posted a little later than planned.
