SAN MARTIN, Calif. – Gerina Piller met with a member of the LPGA communications staff when she walked out of the scoring trailer at CordeValle on Sunday. Fox television announcers at the U.S. Women’s Open had mistakenly told the world that Piller had secured her spot in the Olympics, not realizing that a little-known South Korean named Sung Hyun Park could still prove to be her spoiler.
Ignore the congratulations tweets and messages, Gerina, nothing is guaranteed. The Solheim Cup hero walked onto the flash area podium as uncertain of her Olympic standing as she was at the start of the week.
