The final major championship in women’s professional golf this season, the AIG Women’s Open, will be played at the Old Course at St. Andrews Links in Scotland on Thursday.
Along with battling the Hell Bunker and famous Road Hole, the best women’s golfers in the world might have to contend with strong winds and rain at the Old Course.
It’s the first time in more than a decade that the AIG Women’s Open has been played at the “Home of Golf.”
“Yeah, it definitely feels different,” defending champion Lilia Vu said. “We’re at St. Andrews, which is like the place that everyone wants to play. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance. There’s a little bit of pressure, but I think I know it’s going to be a battle for everyone, not just me.”
