SAMMAMISH, Wash. – Amy Yang won as an amateur on the Ladies European Tour when she was 16 years old, which was a long, long time ago. She still plays on the LPGA into her mid-30s for one main reason: She wants to stand on the 18th green after winning a major championship. She can almost see it.

There aren’t many players in this week’s KPMG Women’s PGA Championship field with ties to Washington, but Caroline Inglis is one. She hails from Vancouver, Wash., roughly three hours away from Sammamish by car. Following the last round of the Meijer LPGA last Sunday, she was able to fly home from Michigan, spend the night at home, and make the drive to Sahalee on Monday alongside her husband. The hectic travel was worth it.

SAMMAMISH, Wash. – Any player expecting a warm greeting out of Sahalee Country Club this week was jolted by a bucket of icy water atop their heads on the way through the door. One by one, Sahalee – with its narrow fairways and its greens growing firmer by the day – spit out the best players in the world, doing so with the affection one gets from a porcupine’s hug. For all its mind-numbing beauty, (ITAL)Sa-hallway,(END ITAL) as some players are calling it, can rear back and punch like Mike Tyson.

Just over a month ago at the Cognizant Founders Cup, despite blitzing the rest of the field by 13 shots with a 72-hole total of 22-under, the Swede came up just two shots short of her second career LPGA Tour victory after a final-round battle with eventual champion Rose Zhang.
