Fellow blogger Shanks once famously claimed: "There's no chance this year's Kraft Nabisco will equal the drama of 2006." Actually, he said it a couple of days ago on my blog.

Regardless, if he watched today's exciting finish, he knows it's time to rethink his position. The final few holes in today's fourth round of the Kraft Nabisco Championship had all the drama of last year, plus a little something extra: history in the making.

Lorena Ochoa was hanging in there quite nicely, doing her part to make my predictive powers look genius, until her quadruple-bogey choke yesterday on 17. But she wasn't the only one to Ochoke. Se Ri Pak started out Sunday’s round with a share of the lead at 4 under, but ended the day at one over. Paula Creamer did even worse, tacking six strokes to today's score.

But the biggest choke of all was reserved for Norwegian Suzann Pettersen. At 6-under with four holes to play, Pettersen was three strokes ahead of clubhouse leader Morgan Pressel. It looked like the Oslo native had the trophy in the bag.

But when the tournament's yours to lose, sometimes that's exactly what you do. She went bogey, double, bogey to move to -2, with one hole and one stroke to make it into a playoff. After all that golf, it all still came down to just one hole.

Pettersen managed to get her third shot safely on the island green of the long par-5, but then had an overly long wait when her playing partner, Se Ri “Ice” Pak, now well out of contention, hit into the water and called for a ruling. When Pettersen finally got her chance, she just missed the birdie putt. She’d have to settle for par and a tie for second.

And just like that, we have to rewrite the record books to accommodate the youngest player (and first teenager) ever to win an LPGA major. That’d be Miss Morgan Pressel--a first-time winner at that--at 18 years, 10 months, and 22 days old.
