Oakmont Country Club, a demanding course capable of producing scores in the 90s, is tormenting the U.S. Women's Open golfers with a different kind of problem: temperatures in the 90s.
Jiyai Shin, the South Korean golfer who was briefly ranked No. 1 in the world following Lorena Ochoa's retirement earlier this year, struggled badly as practice-round readings hit 94 on the suburban Pittsburgh course Tuesday.
She didn't reply when asked by reporters if she needed intravenous fluids or any medical help, but she admittedly wasn't prepared for weather that was steamier than that in Miami Beach.
