Park Walks It

South Korea's Inbee Park became the youngest winner of the US Women's Open on Sunday with a final round 71. The 19 year old finished on nine under par to win by four strokes from Sweeden's Helen Alfedsson. Park was the only player to break par in all four rounds of the tournament, which was also her first win on the LPGA Tour. The tournament was not a great success for the British players involved, with Scotland's Catriona Matthew the leading Brit in 17th place. England's Karen Stupples finished with a 75 for a tie of 31st place, alongside world number one Lorena Ochoa. Three time champion Annika Sorenstam, who retires at the end of the year, finished on a dissapointing 3 over par, but did hole a six iron from 199 yards for an eagle three at the final hole.
 
The course designers had made the most of thier limited space.
