Minjee Lee became just the third Australian woman to own multiple major wins with her victory at Pine Needles — and she did so in record-breaking fashion.

SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. — Karrie Webb and Jan Stephenson have long been the standard for Australian women’s golfers. With 10 major titles between them, any discussion of greatest golfers from Down Under started — and ended — with the names Webb and Stephenson.

On Sunday afternoon at Pine Needles, that duo became a trio.

Minjee Lee, daughter of Western Australia, won the 77th U.S. Women’s Open in dominant fashion, defeating a field of the best players in the world by four strokes. In doing so, she becomes just the third Aussie woman to own multiple major titles.

“It’s such a great honor just to be amongst those two names,” Lee said. “It’s just really, really special.”

The driving range is a lonely place on Sunday afternoons, and this Sunday in the Carolina Sandhills was no different.

As the pretenders filtered out, and the true contenders arrived, real estate on the back of the Pine Needles range was plentiful. With nearly every competitor already on the course (or on a plane to their next destination), and few fans making the trek to the far end of the range, players in the last few groups had the place largely to themselves.

Lydia Ko occupied the spot on the far right, striping high draws with the breeze as her caddie and mother watched on. Several paces to her left, Bronte Law prepped for perhaps the most consequential round of her life. With a $10 million purse up for grabs, the Englishwoman was in line for the biggest paycheck of her career.

Further down the range, with a row of empty placards in between, Mina Harigae went through her own warmup. Such as been the case all week, her matte PXG irons made repeated — and satisfying — thuds as she worked her way through the bag. Her caddie, outfitted in red high-top Jordans 1s (perhaps in a nod to Harigae’s self-proclaimed obsession with the brand), watched and encouraged his pro, knowing full well this could be a life-changing day.

Mina Harigae’s caddie sported Jordan 1s for the final round.

Finally, there was Lee, donning a neon green polo with a simple phrase on the back: “Win at all costs.” It was an appropriate reminder considering the stakes. The 54-hole leader arrived to the range last, and left plenty of space between herself and her competition.

It was an appropriate scene — Lee arriving on her own terms and with a huge gap between herself and the competition — because the scoreboard reflected a similar dynamic. There was Lee, and then there was everyone else.

Through 54 holes, Lee had dictated the tempo at Pine Needles. She’d played fearlessly — and, at times, flawlessly — and rewrote the U.S. Women’s Open record book in the process.

Lee needed just 200 strokes to play the first three rounds, the fewest of any competitor in the history of the championship, and just one player was within three shots of her 54-hole lead.

There was Lee, and then there was everyone else.

The theme continued during the final round, and by day’s end, the 26-year-old was hoisting the U.S. Women’s Open trophy.

Minjee Lee was confident in front of the media all week long.

On Saturday evening, as Lee addressed the media following her third-round 67, she offered a confident, and prescient, answer when asked about her final-round game plan.

“I’m just going to try and make as many birdies as I can,” she said.

She made good on her promise.

After surviving the pre-round jitters, Lee teed up her Srixon on the first tee and ripped driver down the left side of the fairway. Her second swing of the day sent the ball piercing through the eastern breeze, and finished within 30 feet of the flag. Two putts later, her first circle of the day was on the card.

Her second hole was equally fruitful. Fairway, green, jarred putt (a long one this time). Lee’s lead was suddenly up to five as she walked to the 3rd tee box at 15 under.

But on a day when Pine Needles (finally) played like a true U.S. Women’s Open test, the middle portion of Lee’s round was a battle.

Lee, who didn’t have her usual ball-striking moxie Sunday, dropped a shot at the 5th, and another at the 7th. The course played nearly two-and-a-half shots harder on Sunday than it did the day prior, so the miscues were understandable.

But even when the ship was unsteadied, there was nothing that could sink the Aussie. Not a missed green, or a wonky lie in a sandy native area, or a three-putt on the tricky Bermuda greens. More often than not, when Lee found trouble, she escaped unscathed.

“I didn’t hit it that well,” she said. “I had really good saves, up-and-downs from a lot of places … That was enough to get it done today.”

When she stepped onto the 18th tee, her lead was five over her playing partner. The only drama that remained was the question of if Lee could break the U.S. Women’s Open scoring record.

Minjee Lee needed just a bogey at the 72nd hole to break the U.S. Women’s Open scoring record.

Darren Riehl

The current record has stood for 26 years. Annika Sorenstam set the mark of 272 in 1996 — at this very course — and no one has bested the mark since. It has twice been tied, by Juli Inkster in 1999 and In Gee Chun in 2015, but no one has been able to go lower than Sorenstam did at Pine Needles in 1996.

Much has changed about Pine Needles since Sorenstam brought it to its knees. Kyle Franz led a major restoration project in 2017, and this week the course looked a lot like what Donald Ross envisioned when he built the place in the 1920s. Sandy native areas line the fairways, and the bunkers are jagged and scraggly around the edges.

The greens have changed, too. The surface at 18 was a particular focus for Franz and his team. As a part of the project, he extended the back-right portion, connecting two mounds to create one of the most devilish pin locations you’ll ever see.

As fate would have it, that location was in play for the final 18 holes of this Open. To break the scoring record, Lee would have to navigate it — and card no worse than bogey.

Her tee shot could not have been placed in a better spot to access the pin location — left side of the fairway — and her approach landed in the middle of the green. At last, she could take a deep breathe and enjoy the walk.

“I just said to myself, ‘This is pretty amazing,’” Lee said. “This is pretty cool, just looking at the whole crowd and just everybody down the fairways.”

The crowd showered her in praise as she made the final stroll — there were even a few “Aussie Aussie Aussie!” chants — and the sun dipped below the towering pines.

After Harigae tapped in for her par, the stage was set for the coronation. Lee, perhaps as a result of the adrenaline and emotion pumping through her, needed three putts to finish the job, but the result was all the same.

She was a major champion once again, and the U.S. Women’s Open scoring record was hers alone.

“I can’t believe it right now,” Lee said. “It’s been my dream since I was a little girl. It’s the one that I always wanted to win on; now I’ve done it, and just feels amazing.”

Minjee Lee cruised to a dominant four-shot win.

Darren Riehl

With the trophy ceremony complete, and her neon shirt sufficiently soaked in champagne, Lee walked into the interview area, trophy in hand. Her smile beamed as she scrolled through her phone and prepped to be peppered with questions.

“I just can’t believe it,” she said.

Karrie Webb had already texted a message congratulating Lee on the win.

Lee’s game had answered many questions over 72 holes in the Sandhills, but at least one question still remained: Had she yet reflected on her special place in her country’s golf history?

“I haven’t been able to even think properly at the moment,” she said.

Here’s one way to think about it: From this day forward, when the subject of greatest Australian women’s golfers is broached, three names will come to mind.

Karrie Webb, Jan Stephenson and Minjee Lee.

Long before Bean Boots, Mainers were on the forefront of fashion

Extensive ahead of L.L. Bean boots were modeled by Brooklyn hipsters and Angela Adams’ handbags have been draped in excess of the shoulders of people in Los Angeles, Mainers experienced a heightened perception of vogue.

In the 1870s, for instance, trend-aware Maine inhabitants understood the bulky fashion of women’s skirt recognized as “polonaise” was giving way to a substantially slimmer silhouette known as “cuirasse,” from the French term that means close fitting, like armor. When Hannah P. Adams of Belfast been given her marriage ceremony trousseau all around the time of this adjust in trends, it incorporated a costume in the more recent style, together with a knee-size jacket known as a basque.

“Mainers have often been modern, and that’s a thing we see in our apparel collection,” explained Jamie Kingman Rice, deputy director of the Maine Historical Culture. “Because of ties to British shipping and delivery in the mid-1800s, people today in spots like Eastport and Belfast would have had obtain to the most up-to-date fashions and suggestions in vogue. But we see that individuals in more rural regions were being interested far too.”

The strategy that Mainers – at the very least some – have extensive exhibited a flair for style is the topic of an show at the Maine Historical Society in Portland referred to as “Northern Threads: Two Centuries of Gown at Maine Historic Modern society,” with about 50 ensembles from 1780-1889, including Hannah P. Adams’ gown, on view via July 30. The society’s outfits assortment is so huge the exhibition has been damaged into two sections, with clothing from 1890-1980 on watch Aug. 12 by means of Dec. 31.

The historic society is also presently hosting two other exhibitions that assist illustrate Mainers’ connections to or obsessions with fashions more than the previous 200 decades. “Cosmopolitan Stylings of Mildred and Madeleine Burrage” focuses on two Maine sisters who ended up artists and involves drawings from Paris vogue designers in the 1920s and ’30s. It’s on perspective by Sept. 24.

The other is “Representing Each and every Particular: John Martin’s 19th Century Manner Illustrations,” featuring observations, views and drawings about regional trend from the journal of a Bangor businessman in the latter half of the 1800s, on watch by means of Aug. 6.

On line versions of all a few exhibitions are offered to look at at the Maine Historical Society’s “current exhibitions” webpage.

Rice, direct curator of “Northern Threads,” had commenced getting ready the present for the state’s bicentennial in 2020, but the pandemic and other challenges pushed the exhibit again. So now it’s open for the duration of the historical society’s bicentennial 12 months, which is proper, Rice suggests, simply because it highlights aspect of the society’s selection of some 3,000 garments.

The “Northern Threads” clearly show marks just one of the couple situations the historic culture has place so lots of items of apparel on perspective, Rice claimed, as garments reveals are quite labor intensive. Lots of pieces are light-weight and fragile and have to be dealt with and displayed diligently. In addition, the lights has to be thoroughly arranged, so as not to problems the fabrics. Some items just cannot be remaining out in the light and air way too long.

A lot of the apparel arrive from relatives collections, donated to the historic modern society, whilst numerous arrived to the historical culture from the selection of the former Westbrook School in Portland (now aspect of the College of New England), which experienced a vogue curriculum. Some parts that represent the most current fashions of the day come from families who lived in compact, rural or remote destinations, like the tiny city of Alexander, on Route 9 around Calais, or the Oxford County city of Waterford. In the 2nd component of “Northern Threads,” there will be a wedding ceremony dress festooned with ostrich feathers utilised for a marriage ceremony on remote Matinicus Island in the 1890s.

This 1st component of “Northern Threads” consists of Civil War-period attire and military uniforms, bustle attire, attire produced with reused material at a time when product was not easy to arrive by, mourning fashions and dresses with the “gigot” or puffed sleeves well-liked in the 183os.

A single of the gigot-sleeve dresses illustrates Rice’s point about remote Maine locations possessing a pipeline to international fashion. It is a two-piece silk and satin weave ensemble, circa 1830, and belonged to the Leavitt spouse and children of Eastport. It comes with a smaller cape, known as a pereline, that fits more than the dress. The deep purple silk was costly in its day and most likely dyed with imported logwood, before the introduction of chemical dye.

In the 1830s, people today in Eastport would have been influenced in their fashions and tastes by the constant stream of British ships bringing European products to the distant Maine seaport, Rice reported. The selection of British ships coming to Eastport increased 800 percent in the early 1830s.

A different theme that can be discovered in the historic society’s clothes assortment is the creativity of Mainers, who occasionally would acquire the most up-to-date fashions but adapt them with their own hands and tips, Rice mentioned. The gown belonging to Hannah Adams in Belfast, for occasion, has a label from a Boston clothier, W.H. Bigalow, 150 Warren Ave., Boston. But later on, the dress was hand embroidered with vibrant floral types – hinting at daisies, berries, cat tails and poppies. Also extra was a chenille fringe.

There is an spot of the “Northern Threads” show committed to adaptive reuse. 1 quite intelligent example is a eco-friendly, white and rose-colored silk brocade costume worn by a member of the Jewett household to a Portland ball in 1825 honoring the Marquis de Lafayette, a Groundbreaking War hero. The cloth of the gown dates from the late 1730s or early 1740s, and the dress was initially produced in the 1770s. Then it was altered and re-styled for the 1825 ball, but in a Colonial Revival style.

Some other illustrations of Mainers’ possess inventive diversifications of fashions will be witnessed in the 2nd element of “Northern Threads” when it opens in August. Just one of all those is a women’s aviator’s jacket – assume Amelia Earhart – which were well known in the 1930s. It was built by a Maine girl who worked at a shoe manufacturing unit and experienced access to leather.

Supplementing the eye-catching fashions are some astonishing particular tales. Amid the various armed forces uniforms on exhibit is the dress uniform coat of Oliver Otis Howard of Leeds, when he was a cadet at the U.S. Armed service Academy at West Issue in the 1850s. During the Civil War, Howard misplaced his right arm at the Struggle of Seven Pines in Virginia. Right after the war, he was commissioner of the U.S. Freedmen’s Bureau and founder of Howard College in Washington, D.C., right now just one of the finest-recognised traditionally Black schools in the nation.

The other two manner exhibits now at the historic society also spring from own tales. Sisters Mildred Giddings Burrage (1890-1983) and Madeleine Burrage (1891-1976) arrived from a Maine family members that designed its fortune in lumber close to the Bangor location and inevitably settled in Wiscasset. Mildred researched and worked as an artist in France, exactly where she became intrigued in haute couture. Madeleine became a jewellery designer, and each traveled extensively in Europe and South The us, generally composing home about the fashions they saw.

Amid Mildred’s gathered papers and writings are unique drawings and descriptions of dress styles from manner homes in Paris in the 1920s and ’30s. The drawings were sent to potential clients in the days in advance of catalogs and websites, said Tilly Laskey, curator at the Maine Historical Society and of the Burrage exhibit.

30 of these “line sheets” featuring dress types are on display screen as portion of the display. Addresses and other facts present they had been not despatched straight to Mildred, and it’s not obvious how she obtained them around the yrs, Laskey explained. Many of these drawings are in color and arrive with illustrations or photos of materials and shade samples.

Laskey also curated “Representing Each and every Unique: John Martin’s 19th Century Fashion Illustrations.” Martin’s drawings are especially exciting for the reason that he was neither an artist nor a pupil of fashion. He was an accountant and store keeper from Bangor who was a keen observer. His very own father experienced died when he was younger, and he realized little about him. So he experienced a potent drive to assistance his small children discover about his moments and ordeals. He remaining guiding a 650-site journal and several scrapbooks of notes and sketches, finished from the 1860s into the 1890s. He drew what he noticed and extra his very own commentary.

One of his afterwards drawings, “A Society Girl of 1889,” exhibits a girl putting on a bustled costume, coloured brightly with orange, purple, violet and eco-friendly, and keeping a parasol and a compact handbag. In his description of the drawing, Martin phone calls the subject matter “a Culture lady of the current day” and notes that whilst the content for the gown is not costly, it “shows that the wearer is a person of high-quality style.” 10 of his doodles and illustrations are on show.

“He can get a little snarky about what men and women were being carrying and his descriptions are rather amusing,” said Laskey. “He was drawing these freehand and presenting a lot of facts about what he observed.”

The brilliance of Tiger: Woods makes cut in redemptive fashion at PGA Championship

TULSA, Okla. – It was a film with all the essential components: drama, intrigue, failure and, last but not least, redemption.

This is the way it was just about each individual week for Tiger Woods for the better part of two decades. It was a parade of commanding performances with a single prevalent ending – victory.

This Friday was various.

Full-industry scores from the PGA Championship

Friday was not about victory for Woods that transferring goal however seems a distant actuality, but it did have a acquainted experience.

Just after starting off the day at 4 above par, Round 2 was generally likely to be a battle against the cut next an opening 74 at the PGA Championship. He birdied the fifth hole from 5 toes to transfer two shots inside the weekend line but bogeyed the eighth. The latter currently being the consequence of a 224-yard tee shot at the par 3 that sailed 250 yards, transferring again on to the bubble in the method.

The back again and forth ongoing with a birdie at the 10th hole followed by a sloppy double bogey-5 at the 11th – another tee shot that flew two golf equipment too prolonged to fall exterior the minimize line.

“The lower was likely to be between 3 and 4 [over] starting out, and then with the wind pumping like it was, I thought it might fall to 4, and it did,” Woods stated.

Birdies at nos. 13 and 16 finally secured him a weekend tee time at Southern Hills, but ending the tale there ignores the brilliance of Tiger – even the latest variation, who has been hobbled by multiple surgeries on his appropriate leg due to the fact previous year’s horrific motor vehicle crash in Los Angeles.

There was the 14-footer to conserve par at the 14th hole. Then an up-and-down for the ages from the bunker behind the par-4 15th that drew a scarce smile on what was, by all accounts, a further painfully challenging day.

**Tiger fights and claws his way to make cut**

“That was a delicious tiny bunker shot there. That was a excellent a person. I favored that 1. I didn’t like putting myself there, but I favored executing the shot,” he smiled.

Irrespective of whether he’s playing for majors or just to make the reduce, it is all the same DNA, and it was on wonderful display screen on a humid Friday.

No, it wasn’t effortless, but absolutely nothing would seem to be simple for the 15-time big champion anymore. He returned to level of competition at past month’s Masters but it was apparent the rebuilt leg was perfectly south of 100 {cfdf3f5372635aeb15fd3e2aecc7cb5d7150695e02bd72e0a44f1581164ad809}, and it does not appear matters have gotten significantly superior.

The toll of numerous surgeries and a long time of unbridled hard work was on complete display as Tiger warmed up for Round 2 at the year’s next big championship.

The massive scoreboard adjacent to the apply variety instructed a telling tale as Tiger concluded his warmup with a couple of drives. The very first attempt registered 170 mph ball velocity and a 265 lawn carry up a hill and into a healthier wind. The future went 176 mph and carried 273 yards. Warming up up coming to Tiger on the assortment, Rory McIlroy – who rotated with Woods and Jordan Spieth the initial two rounds – notched 179 mph ball velocity and a 288-lawn carry… with a 3-wood.

Tiger’s work was even additional apparent as he descended the hill from the first tee with a very clear limp and his driver doubling as a brace.

“Looking at him yesterday, if that would have been me, I would have been thinking about pulling out and just going house, but Tiger is distinctive and he’s proved he is different,” McIlroy marveled following the next spherical. “It was just a monumental effort.”

It won’t get any easier for Tiger on Saturday, when temperatures are anticipated to plummet in the wake of a passing chilly entrance. A forecast that phone calls for temperatures in the 60s and a softer golf system is not the most effective scenario for a person who admits he wants a good deal of runway to get the human body moving.

“I’ve had a terrific [physical therapy] personnel that have place Humpty Dumpty back again with each other, and we’ll go out there tomorrow and, with any luck ,, I can do a thing like what [Bubba Watson who shot a second-round 63] did these days,” Woods mentioned.

Tiger’s 4-footer for birdie at the 16th gap was a considerably-wanted cushion with the soul of Southern Hills looming, but it did very little to make the climb back again up to the iconic clubhouse any easier. Then all over again, he’s never ever shied away from a obstacle – be it profitable 15 majors or grinding his way to a weekend tee time.
