Sherri Loves Links Golf
To the great delight of tournament press officer Colin Callander — who has money on here at odds of 50-1 — Sherri Steinhauer confirmed her status as the pre-eminent links player of her generation with a round of 71 today. Added to her opening 72, the three-time British Open champion moved to three under par and is surely poised to make a run at yet another title.
"I'm not sure what it is," she said in response to a question as to why she does so well on windswept links. "I do know that I love the imagination. I love to play a low ball. There's a lot of touch and feel involved. I go a lot on instinct out there."
Whatever the reason or reasons, Steinhauer took advantage of her early draw to play the sort of steady round that will be required all over again tomorrow. Three birdies more than compensated for the lone shot she dropped at the par-4 12th, where she three-putted from the front of the two-tiered green.
