The major championship season officially began last week as the Masters unfolded and unfolded in an epic way.
The next major in the world of golf is the Chevron Championship in Houston. The LPGA player will be in Los Angeles this week for the JM Eagle LA Championship, so there will be a chance to get into the right shape the week before that.
Hanna Green was the defending champion of the event and made a 3-under 69 card to get things going. But it was Madeleine Thugstrom who stole the show.
Sagstrom has already won the tour this season as he won the T-Mobile Match Play in Las Vegas. She finished solo after the first round, but that was what she did on the last hole when she recorded her age on the par 3 9th hole.
It’s a considerable way to start a tournament, but more prominent is how to finish the round. Given what happened on Thursday, it was hardly a walk-off homer, but it was close enough to get in the world of golf.
As for its value, it was the first ace of the entire LPGA season, but Madeleine pointed out in the post-round that it was his first in tournament play. She also said she would call a shot of her playing “2-2-2.”
As noted, Madren finished his first round with a solo second. She ironically follows two Ashley Buhai.
