DALY CITY, Calif. – Juli Inkster can’t help marveling looking down the practice range at the Swinging Skirts Classic this week.
The LPGA has never looked so young.
The average age of the nine winners this year is 20 years old.
“That’s unbelievable,” Inkster says.
The last three LPGA events have been won by teenagers, and the average age of the top 10 in the Rolex Women’s World Rankings is 23 years old.
“Amazing,” Inkster says.
Inkster, 55, a hall of famer, marvels at how 17- and 18-year-olds know more about how to play the game than she did in her early 20s.
