JoAnne Carner was 64 when she made the cut in
the 2004 Chick Fil-A Charity Championship.
“I frigging love JoAnne Carner,” Inkster said. "Yeah, just kind
of means that I have a passion for the game. I love the game.
You know, I’m really happy I played this week. Kind of when I
signed up was kind of like, `What are you doing?'
“I was free, I was out there with Hannah Green and Stacy (Lewis)
and had a great time,” she said. “Just love watching the young
kids swing. It’s so impressive. I think the game is in a really
good shape and happy to be here.”
Inkster was competing at an LPGA event for the first time since
2022. She was asked what it was like when players recognized
her.
“Most of them think I am Joanne Carner,” Inkster said.
She was disappointed at her finish, especially the way she
struggled off the tee toward the end. Along with the two bogeys,
she said she played the final two par 5s sloppily. Still, there
were few regrets. The U.S. Senior Women's Open is next week at
San Diego Country Club.
“I think it was really good for me to play, whether I win or
lose next week, whatever,” Inkster said. “I’m glad I put myself
out there.”
