Solheim Cup player celebrates short putt early and it didn't turn out great

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — Cristie Kerr has been a star for the U.S. team all week, salvaging a brilliant half-point in the opening session and following with two more victories on Saturday. She’s done it all boasting a certain swagger, too. “Clutch,” she described her putt to salvage a half point on Friday. “I took a lot of deep breaths before I even went back to mark my ball. I didn’t have any nerves.” But during Sunday Singles, that swagger came back to bite her. After a victory on the opening hole, she was a short putt away from goign 2UP through two.

Bucking golf course trend helped Glen Oaks land Tour event

When the golf world was going for all rugged, natural looks, Glen Oaks went the other way. Their reward was being able to play host to one of the PGA Tour’s signature events. The golf club in Old Westbury, on Long Island, recently completed a major renovation that is all tightly kept green grass, white flash-faced bunkers and manicured sight lines. It will be on display when the Northern Trust Open (formerly The Barclays) starts next week, the first event of the FedEx Cup playoffs. “Architecture is kind of like painting — you can have 20 people go to the art museum and look at the same painting and certain people will have various opinions,” head pro Tim Shifflett told The Post this week. “You
