America! Angela Stanford Becomes Second Oldest LPGA Major Winner, USA Players Thrive At Evian
/
Maybe they heard the early week discussion about what an awful year Americans were having on the LPGA Tour, because six Americans finished inside the top nine of the Evian Championship, led by the feel-good story of long time major contender Angela Stanford.
A pair of weekend 68s and a rough finish from Amy Olson allowed Stanford to become the second oldest player to win an LPGA major.
From Beth Ann Nichols’ Golfweek game story:
She became the second-oldest player in LPGA history to win her first major, behind Fay Crocker, who won the 1955 U.S. Women’s Open at 40 years, 11 months. Stanford turns 41 on Nov. 28.
“I have no idea what just happened,” said Stanford through heavy tears after her win at Evian-les-Bains, France.
Highlights of the crazy finish:
