US Women’s Open: Leona Maguire looking to follow in Graeme McDowell’s footsteps at Pebble Beach

Pebble Beach, one of the most famous golf courses in the world, hosts the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on the PGA Tour every year, and was the scene of some of Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson’s most memorable Major victories. It is, however, the first time the course will play host to the best professionals in women’s golf in the US Women’s Open.

When asked what the requirement is to play well at Pebble Beach, Nelly Korda said “being lucky”. “I think that all kind of needs to come together, but probably the smallest greens I’ve ever seen. It’s an amazing golf course.”A changing of the guard of sorts among hyped-up young prodigies will happen this week as it is Michelle Wie West’s final Major before retiring from the professional game, while it is Rose Zhang’s first US Open as a professional.
