Marilynn Smith Sees Men Better Golfers Period
Marilynn Smith, a Wichita native and veteran of the Ladies PGA, said men are better golfers because they use full shoulder and body turn while many women rely on arm swing. She joined ABC’s U S Open broadcast team at Oakmont, alongside Chris Schenkel and Byron Nelson, and notes top women like Burnfeindt, Palmer and Blalock are improving but not yet ready to challenge the men. The event airs SAT 4:30–6:30 pm EDT and SUN 3:30–6:30 pm EDT.
