Wow, M Dub (wie) is on pace to put up a REALLY big number!

Hmmm. Good disappointment pick then (see my picks!)? Or bad, depending on how you look at it. I just hope my winner pick comes through.

 

[staticline]

I've heard more than one prediction on somebody shooting 100 this week. That makes me wonder about the 88 rule the LPGA has.

Winner: Kerr (total golfing package and she's in the zone)
Darkhorse: Shanshan Feng (Rolex Rank: 64th) 3rd in Putting, 17th in GIR
Disappointment: Michelle Wie (These greens will eat her lunch)

 

[JB]

Wow, Paula Creamer sighting as she is tied for the lead (with 7 others) at -1.

 

[Hanks]

c'mon TC, that's an 8 iron for you

ouch!

i heard they say that the par 3 (8th i believe) will be playing a hair over 250!!! what? that should be interesting.

 

[JB]

it was 8 golfers at -1 and now it is just 3 including Paula Creamer.

Is this by chance on radio anywhere? I saw the earlier post with tv times.

Only 1 player remains at under par for the tournament right now and that is Sophie Gustafson.

Michelle Wie shot +11

Lincicome looks 'different' this year for some reason.....

I've heard more than one prediction on somebody shooting 100 this week. That makes me wonder about the 88 rule the LPGA has.

Since it's a USGA event and not an LPGA event, I don't think the 88 rule will be in effect this week.

According to the lpga, you are right. But then again, who knows with the press material they put out recently...haha

Do you mean different as in "...like a truck driver.." different.

Ya. They'd be apt to change the rule if one of their future 'darlings' give us a double snowman.

 

[Hanks]

Kinda what I was thinking. Looks like she's been rooming with C Kerr, C Kim, and L Davies on Tour

Golfweek has some great coverage of the US Women's Open. I really liked this video of Paula Creamer with Beth Ann Baldry talking about the 3rd hole.
