2010 U.S. Women�s Open Leaderboard

GolfChannel.com senior writer Randell Mell
Mell says: �Cristie Kerr, coming off her 12-shot romp at the LPGA Championship, is the overwhelming favorite. She isn�t a true bomber, but she�s one of the longest straight hitters on tour. What sets her apart is a velvet putting touch, maybe the best on tour. If she can win this week, she solidifies her legitimacy as the No. 1 player in the women�s game and begins a run to succeed Annika Sorenstam and Lorena Ochoa as the LPGA�s next dominant player.�
