HARRISON, N.Y. — On any given week on the L.P.G.A. Tour, Christina Kim’s routine has few wrinkles. Play some practice-round holes before the tournament starts, keep putting preparation to about 20 minutes, then go out and play. But that has changed this week.
Golfers have been playing on Westchester Country Club’s West Course since 1922, but this is the first time the women on tour have seen it. The pressure of playing in a major — the Women’s P.G.A. Championship — was hard enough, but before Thursday’s first round, players had to do some extra homework to get to know the classically tricky layout.
