Sunday Kelsey and Brooke and I met Lorie, Donna Lynn and Barb Loesch to watch the action. We walked around a little bit before settling in on the grandstands on the 18th green at 11 a.m. We had seats even with the flagstick--about ten rows up--and thought we better grab them when we could as they would fill up during the early afternoon.
We saw everyone finish from the third group of the day until the tournament was over at 6 p.m. Of course the highlight of the weekend was watching Annika's eagle three on the par-5 18th hole. Everyone went crazy when her ball hit the stick and fell in the hole--high fiving and cheering everyone around us. When Annika reached the green, she took her ball out of the cup, kissed it and threw it into the stands about five rows in front of us. We narrowly missed the keepsake of a lifetime.
It was a thrill to watch so many great players up close. The state of Minnesota can now look forward to the PGA Championship next year at Hazeltine Golf Club in August.
