As Solheim superlatives echo, the case for checking out CP Women’s Open
OTTAWA — We know, we know — those guys are good, as the PGA Tour’s slogan goes. But make no mistake: so are the women.
Ask anyone who saw last weekend’s superlative Solheim Cup showdown, complete with a riveting Sunday-singles comeback by U.S. powerhouse Lexi Thompson — she of the four-stroke penalty debacle at the ANA Inspiration in April — to eke out a half-point against Europe’s Anna Nordqvist.
The three-day match-play contest in Des Moines offered up some of the most compelling, high-quality golf of the year, and ought to have golf fans lining up to check out the CP Women’s Open, underway this week at the newly redesigned Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club.
Operative words: “ought to.”
