Sarah Lee makes good pound cake.

Suzann Pettersen has birdied 6 of her first 7 holes to leap into a first place tie with McPherson (-10) who birdied 18 and Lorena, through 7.

 

[JB]

That is our girl. Go Suzanne.

Except that Lorena just eagled 8 to take a 2-shot lead...

Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee.

Especially me. At an event where I volunteered not too long ago, Sarah decided to change equipment and gave me her golf bag. Very cool. Of course I use it, and of course, everyone calls me Sarah Lee.

Just checking the leaderboard now - wow - it's getting exciting at the top.

Lorena (and Suzann Pettersen, to a lesser extent) threatening to run away with it.

It's good to see Lorena back on top; I've missed her winning.

Thanks, Harry. Lorena sure looks like she's having fun.

Any word on Paula's health? Have they finally licked that bug she's had?

 

[JB]

According to her agent, she is "feeling much better". My gut feeling is that is agent talk for if she plays well, it is behind her and if she does not, than it is because of the illness.

This was plaguing her at the end of last season, and I worry that she picked up some exotic bug in an international event and they haven't tracked it down yet.

I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere.

 

[Ricearoni]

She's not listed in the field for Michelob - going to dissappoint a lot of folks.

 

[Harry Longshanks]

Lorena birdied her first hole of the day. Now at -17 and 4 shots ahead of second place Suzann Pettersen.

This course is designed for scoring. Lorena is on fire.

-3 for the day through nine holes. Suzann Pettersen is two strokes back.

 

[Harry Longshanks]

The online LPGA Scoreboard is more exciting than the PGA broadcast this week.

Also less annoying without Faldo.

 

[JB]

You are right about that.

 

[Harry Longshanks]

Another birdie for Lorena. She's now -20 and 4-under for the round (3 shots ahead of Pettersen.)

Pressel (-13) is now 5-under for the day.

Wie (-12) is 3-under so far today.

 

[JB]

-20 on Saturday. Wow. Playing a local muni? hehe

Is this course at elevation, or is that the other stop in Mexico?

 

[JB]

OT: I just looked at Duramed scoring. Why is Charlotte not playing?
