The Wegman’s LPGA Tournament is being played in Rochester New York this weekend. And just to prove that they don’t play favorites, the Golfing Gods arranged for the second round to get rained out today. Last weekend Bethpage, this weekend Rochester. New York must have done something to really piss off the GG’s.
Player of note in the Wegman’s tournament is Cheyenne Woods. Cheyenne is an 18 year old student at Wake Forest. She also happens to be an outstanding golfer. Oh, and she has a famous uncle. You’ve probably heard of him. Cheyenne is playing as an amateur in her first LPGA tournament on a sponsors exemption. Here are two pictures of Cheyenne.
Remarkable family resemblance wouldn’t you say? If her game resembles his anywhere near as much she is going to be force to be reckoned with on the LPGA. Her uncle didn’t make the cut in his first PGA event. Hopefully the rain lets up tomorrow so they can play the second round and we’ll see if Cheyenne can do better her first time out.

Remember Elizabeth Wang? Who I wrote about here? She is 9 now. A couple of weekends ago she played in the Colorado Junior Golf Associations annual tournament. She played up a division, with the 11-13 year olds. She won by 9 strokes. Remember her name. In 8 years or so, when she is the phenom on the cover of all the golf magazines, you can impress them at the water cooler by saying ‘Oh yeah, I’ve been following her for years’.
