POND: YANG LONE BRIGHT SPOT OF 'SLEEPER' GROUP

AMY YANG

It wasn't a great week for our group of five potential surprises at the U.S. Women's Open, with just one player getting into contention during the final round of play.

South Korean standout Amy Yang led the unimpressive bunch, finishing in a tie for 10th place in the grueling four-round affair which spanned five days on The Broadmoor's East Course.

Shanshan Feng wound up with a share of 42nd place after another up-and-down tournament. Americans Christina Kim, Alexis Thompson and Jane Park all missed the cut at the third major tournament of the season.
