BETHLEHEM, Pa. - This is usually the week the LPGA stands on the sideline while the U.S. Golf Association conducts the U.S. Women's Open, setting up the golf course to its demanding specifications and offering a purse of $3,250,000, matching the highest in women's golf.
But the LPGA found itself thrust front and center yesterday by reports that a group of 15 players, including world No. 1 Lorena Ochoa and top American stars Cristie Kerr, Paula Creamer, and Morgan Pressel, signed a letter demanding the resignation of commissioner Carolyn Bivens.
Carolyn Bivens has been the commissioner since 2005.
