ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – Catriona Matthew tried to quickly walk over the Swilcan Bridge one last time to avoid the spotlight. She was lured back for a proper sendoff, however, waving to fans who’d gathered on the 18th – on the ground and on the rooftops – to celebrate a long and successful career.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – Ashleigh Buhai may have won the AIG Women’s Open two years ago, but the running joke is she’s not even the Buhai who has gained the fame from that week. Who could forget Buhai’s nerve-racking Sunday at Muirfield? It began with a five-shot...

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – There are just two par-5s on St. Andrews’ Old Course. The first one wasn’t too kind to Charley Hull on Saturday afternoon. Hull, who had tied the lead earlier in her third round, was trailing AIG Women’s Open leader Nelly Korda by a single shot when she teed off on the par-5 fifth hole. But disaster struck as Hull not only found two pot bunkers but also badly topped a 3-wood into the second bunker.

Ana Pelaez Trivino, a winner on the Ladies European Tour competing as a rookie on the LPGA circuit this year, was playing in her third AIG Women’s Open this week, and playing well. Rounds of 72 and 74 in tricky conditions over the opening two days on the Old Course at St. Andrews put her at two over, 10 strokes back of halfway leader Nelly Korda but comfortably inside the cut line for the first time in her career in a major.

Lexi Thompson’s reaction said it all. When a golfer hits a tee shot that could find trouble, they stare it down intently. When a golfer hits a tee shot that is, without question, absolutely dead? They head straight to the bag to grab another ball. It’s the equivalent of a pitcher giving up such a monster home run that he turns to the umpire before it’s even cleared the fence: One more Rawlings, please.

There’s something extra special about winning this week’s AIG Women’s Open. This is only the third time the women’s major has been played on the historic Old Course at St. Andrews, and to boast that you claimed the title at the Home of Golf is a reward that doesn’t come with a specific price tag.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – Fraser Riddler called the opening round of the AIG Women’s British Open over the Old Course farcical. As the longtime caddie manager of St. Andrews Links, Riddler has seen his share of challenging conditions and Thursday’s, he said, was among the worst he’s seen.
“That’s as difficult of conditions that any tournament golf has been played – men, women, it doesn’t matter,” said Fraser. “That was brutal out there.”
