The internet rivalry between Phil Mickelson and Brandel Chamlee has had people choosing sides. While Mickelson accused Chamblee of being obsessed with him, he found a big supporter in the face of former golf analyst and author, Lisa Cornwell. The female author supported Mickelson by calling Chamblee a bully and even worse.
Days after her opposition of Mickelson’s rival, Cornwell is again attracting the attention of fans with her support for an LPGA giant at the US Senior’s Open this week. Taking to Twitter, she applauded a legend and found the fans agreeing with her. Let’s find out more.

The U.S. Senior Women’s Open is going on this week at the Waverley Country Club in Portland, Oregon. The first round started on Thursday and LPGA veteran, 84-year-old legend JoAnne Carner, shot eight over 80. For players in golf, shooting their age is a fun achievement, but not everyone can do it.
During her tenure, Carner, who is also known as Big Mama, won 43 LPGA titles which has been widely celebrated. Yesterday in the first round, Carner shot eight-over-80 and gave the credit for her performance to a lot of practice. And among the people who are celebrating this feat of Big Mama is Lisa Cornwell.
Cornwell, who is active on Twitter, posted a snippet of the shot of Carner on her handle and showed her support for the legendary player’s act by writing “MF’ing legend.”
MF’ing legend. 💪 https://t.co/zTjdaWPfqr

This is the sixth time that Carner has shot her age or better. And just like Cornwell, fans are just as amazed by the LPGA legend and are showing their support in the comments.

Another fan called her and Don Carter the best players of the Golden Era.
She and Don Carter were pure class in the 70s and 80s. Nicest people I ever met on the LPGA Tour. Have one on me honey 😍.
