It sure was, Dan, back in aught-four...Annika seemed to have it going, with the fiery Rosales an apparent fresh breath on the scene. Then, in rode Meg Mallon to a two-stroke victory. A USGA championship of such proportions should simply not be able to be held in a small New England town (or a small town anywhere) yet it was, and to such acclaim. Perhaps the present-day intelligentsia of the LPGA will recall this day and strive to resuscitate Corning and other small-town tour venues. The USGA made it work; why not the LPGA?
BTW, a tour of the college courses of the northeast is one of the great month-long junkets on anyone's bucket list. Williams, Yale, Mount Holyoke, Dartmouth, Cornell, Colgate and the list goes on.
