EDINA, Minn. (AP) -- For those pleasantly surprised to see the USGA keep the 18th hole at Torrey Pines as a par 5 at the U.S. Open, it went a few steps further for the U.S. Women's Open. Interlachen will have five par 5s and play as a par 73.

Not that Mike Davis, senior director of rules and competition who sets up the course, didn't think about it.

"None of those holes made sense as a par 4," Davis said.

It will be the second LPGA major in the last four events that par was 73. The Road Hole on the Old Course at St. Andrews was changed from a par 4 to a par 5 for the Women's British Open.

Davis said the nines at Interlachen also have been flipped, making it the same routing as when Bobby Jones won the 1930 U.S. Open on his way to the Grand Slam.

"I checked the records, and they played it as a 72 for that Open," Davis said. "The 10th hole was a par 4. I looked at that for the women, but it just didn't make sense."

SHARP EYE: Yani Tseng earned $300,000 for her victory in the McDonald's LPGA Championship, making her the first rookie in 10 years to win an LPGA major. She is fourth on the list with $835,241.

What to do with her earnings? For starters, she wants to buy a billiards table.

Tseng is quite accomplished with the cue stick, and some say she can run the table on just about anyone.

"I'm pretty good," she said during the first round of the U.S. Open, when she followed the Tiger Woods-Phil Mickelson-Adam Scott group. "Helps me with my putting. You have to be able to read the angles on the shots."

Whatever she's doing, it appears to be working.

MONEY MATTERS: With a tie for sixth two weeks ago, Lorena Ochoa set an LPGA Tour record by reaching $2 million in earnings in just her 11th tournament this year. The previous record was Annika Sorenstam, who took 15 events to reach $2 million in 2004.

Ochoa also holds the record for fastest to reach $1 million (five events), and she is the only LPGA player to surpass $3 million and $4 million in a single season (2007).

STAT OF THE WEEK: The U.S. Women's Open includes 27 amateurs. The U.S. Open had 11 amateurs in the field.

FINAL WORD: "I talk a lot." -- McDonald's LPGA champion Yani Tseng of Taiwan, on how she learned to speak English.
