Amidst the lush fairways of the AIG Women’s Open, Ally Ewing has etched her name atop the leaderboard. Her prowess is evident as she stands at a commendable 10 under par after two rounds. As she surges ahead, Ewing is on the cusp of scripting a milestone in her career – a maiden major championship victory.
With precise drives and a red-hot putting game, she enjoys a five-stroke lead, a testament to her remarkable skill and unwavering focus. As the golfing world marvels at Ally Ewing’s performance, echoes of familiarity resonate. The storyline of Brian Harman’s triumph at Hoylake in some ways mirrors Ewing’s current journey. “I don’t know him personally, I obviously know his story.
“Yeah, questionable [if she can take inspiration from him], he’s a Bulldog but he’s a Georgia bulldog. I’m a Bulldog; I’m a Mississippi State Bulldog. I guess we have that in common. But yeah, it’s pretty cool, southern guy, I’m southern, just a little Mississippi girl. It is inspiring what he did,” explained the 30-year-old at a press conference.

Both athletes boast a similar lead of five shots after the second round – Harman at Hoylake and Ewing at the AIG Women’s Open. The symmetry extends further as both golfers carded an impressive 4-under par on the first day, followed by a stellar 6-under-par on the second day. Their connection goes beyond. Ewing and Harman share not only an alma mater but also a mascot, the Bulldogs.
Even in physical stature, they are almost mirror images, with Harman measuring at 5-foot-7 and Ewing at 5-foot-6. Ewing’s pursuit of excellence, coupled with the echoes of Harman’s past achievements, lend an air of destiny to her quest for glory.
