Age is Not a Factor for the Ladies This Week

Apparently age is just not a factor in a golferette's success on the course this week. Last Sunday, 18 year old Morgan Pressel became the youngest woman ever in the LPGA to win a major tournament, at the Kraft Nabisco Championship. The conquest was thoroughly covered by the media thanks to an enjoyable AP article. Congrats Morgan! ... although I must admit I'm always a bit resentful when girl who is younger than me realizes such awesome achievements ... but have fun with that $300,000 too!

Update: Elsie McLean's amazing story has finally been picked up throughout the press. I think just about every single media outlet around has now featured the hole-in-one tale (check out the Google News results)! Thanks again to an AP article published on 4/7/2007 ... feel free to notice my post one day prior; the AP must be reading my blog ;) Elsie will even be making an appearence on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," on April 24th.
