INCHEON, South Korea – The American team is enduring as a battered bunch. Michelle Wie and Jessica Korda look as if they’re being held together by tape. They both have wrist or hand injuries, and now Cristie Kerr has come down with an illness. Still, the Americans kept themselves in the thick of the UL […]
INCHEON, South Korea – The Korean fans didn’t live up to the hype in Thursday’s opening round. The Korean players did, though.
