Another Reason Four Majors Is Enough

In the grand scheme of things, the LPGA going to five majors is not life changing, but after reading this unbylined AP story on the amazing Yani Tseng becoming the youngest to ever hold five majors, I couldn't help but wonder if this stat would have been cheapened had the LPGA's five major rotation already been in place.

The 22-year-old Taiwanese won the Ricoh Women’s British Open for the second straight year Sunday, beating Brittany Lang by four strokes and becoming the youngest player – male or female – to capture a fifth major title.

Sorenstam was 32 when she won the 2003 LPGA Championship for her fifth major. Tiger Woods was 24 when he won his fifth at the 2000 PGA Championship.

“It’s so great making history on this golf course, and I feel wonderful right now,” said Tseng, who is ranked No. 1 and won the LPGA Championship last month. “I hope to keep winning. Next year there are another four majors and I will try and organize and keep working hard.”

On a more positive note, there is a sensational David Cannon photo of her and the scene on Carnoustie's 18th in this week's Golf World Monday where Ron Sirak makes the case that she is the world's most dominant golfer.
