On Inbee Park’s Historic Quest to Win Her Third Major of the Year
Annika Sorenstam (@ANNIKA59) – “I’m sure she’s thinking about history, but she’s telling everybody that she’s not thinking about it and that’s the key, she needs to focus. One shot at a time. It’s going to be interesting to watch. This is history. This is big time. And this is hard.”
On Paula Creamer’s 66-event winless streak since winning the 2010 U.S. Women’s Open
Annika Sorenstam (@ANNIKA59) – “I think we can see this week that she is not really happy with her putting. She’s changing grips from regular to left hand low, she really hasn’t found the speed of the greens and her technique is a little shaky at the moment.”
On Inbee Park’s Recent Success
Dan Hicks (@DanHicksNBC) – “This is just one of the most dominant stretches of golf we have ever seen. It is history in the making today and it reminds you of what Tiger Woods has done, what Rory McIlroy has been able to do in a couple of majors. It is that level of golf and it only comes so rarely.”
On I.K. Kim’s Inability to Mount a Challenge
Gary Koch – “She lost her balance on several shorter shots today. Her lower body motion is not good and she’s kind of leaning. It’s almost like she’s over swinging with the short irons. Take more club and swing smoother.”
Annika Sorenstam (@ANNIKA59) – “She’s trying too hard.”
On Inbee Park’s Championship Performance
Annika Sorenstam (@ANNIKA59) – “I hope she enjoys it. This is so special. It’s important to smell the roses along the way.”
Dan Hicks (@DanHicksNBC) – “The hype and the glare is only going to get brighter for Inbee Park. But based on what we have seen this week, I wouldn’t bet against her.”
Annika Sorenstam (@ANNIKA59) – “She can still improve in some areas and that’s a scary thought.”

On Inbee Park, 2013 U.S. Women’s Open Champion
Tim Rosaforte (@TimRosaforte) – “In what is arguably the toughest test in women’s golf, for her to walk around here and do it in such nonchalant fashion and dominate the field. It is not as dynamic or exciting or as fist pumping as what Tiger Woods did, but if you look at the numbers and look at the record, it is just as impressive.”
Brandel Chamblee (@chambleebrandel) – “The possibilities that she can win the super slam in one year? They are very much alive and well.”
