Our U.S. Open series of podcasts continues this week with Angela Moser. She was the lead designer of Pinehurst No. 10, the resort's newest golf course in nearly three decades. While Tom Doak receives credit as the main designer, Moser played a daily and intricate role in building and shaping the course which opened in April to rave reviews. Moser is immensely talented as a landscape architect and golf course designer but does so in a male-dominated industry. Originally from Germany, Moser has traveled the world under Doak's guidance for more than 10 years and has more than earned the respect of her boss and her peers. Check out the latest Paradise in the Pines from the U.S. Open as Moser talks about creating Pinehurst No. 10 and how she made her way within the golf industry. @pinehurstresort @GolfDigest @GolfChannel @visitnc #visitnc #homeofamericangolf…
