With history for the making, women get their major moment at Pebble Beach

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – A greedy haze shielded the sun, with temperatures hanging in mid-50s. Wednesday at Pebble Beach was a little chillier than Tuesday, but a good barometer of what to expect for Thursday and beyond.

The U.S. Women’s Open field of 156 has spent the last few days doing their preparations: chipping over and over again from the greenside rough, testing out putting speeds and slopes for possible hole locations. Growing accustomed to the fairway intricacies and the exacting targets.

And trying to not be overly awed by the environment.

World No. 1 Jin Young Ko arrived in the area on Monday – of the previous week.
