Morgan Pressel Wins Nabisco

A great win for the mostly unsung Pressel who seems to have suffered from 3 main problems

1. She arrived just after the still Majorless Paula Creamer, which meant there was no room for another all American stars-and-stripes-cheerleader who can actually play a bit type.

2. She is unfortunately not considered as being as 'pretty' as the still majorless Natalie Gulbis (who's not to my taste to be fair), which means she cant fill the 'anna-kournakova-cant-really-play-but-she-looks-good-in-a-mini-dress-and-will-sell-loads-of-short-skirts-to-chubby-teens space in the market'.

3. And of course she isnt of an ethnic minority so theres no 'emerging-markets-we-really-want-to-sell-viewing-rights-to-the-far-east-without-alienating-american-viewers-with-a-non-american-arent-we-on-the-LPGA-so-very-multicultural' interest from sponsors as there is for the still Majorless Michelle Wie.

But she has gone and done it before a lot of the more fancied runners, I know it was kind of handed to her when Petterson had a bit of a Norman but no one ever complained about that before, plenty of Majors have been won by players who went about their business and posted a score and then watched a longtime leader dissolve on the back 9.
