I hear she just tee'd off, is anyone watching USA??

[Rummyfan]

I think he is just about six feet. Vijay or Els would make him look small.

Prediction: Two respectable rounds in the mid 70's. Miss the cut.

Do I detect just the hint of a mustache on her upper lip?

Does she have a little Italian in her, or just too much steroids?

[1Old Pro]

For the record:

GOLF- Make your Annika score total prediction here. The big event starts tomorrow morning.

Tiger said Annika shot 71 in a practice round last week at Colonial playing from the tips...

I hear it's wet. Should hurt her off the tee but I hear it's a short layout. Softer greens should help her hold, seeing as she'll be using more club to get home.

I think many are underestimating her ability to post a low number, not to imply that she will.

Par for the first hole

I'm watching it for a bit... Sickening how the announcers keep praising her... Sad day for golf, IMHO. She didn't have to qualify for this (I may be mistaken here), and she takes all of the attention away from all other golfers. So pathetic. I have to admit, I'm rooting for her to lose. Big time.

I'm in general agreement with you.

Rumours were she was hitting 5 wood to one of the longer Par 4s yesterday..

[Blueflag]

OK, the 17th tee.

Rumours were she was hitting 5 wood to one of the longer Par 4s yesterday..

That's not encouraging. Guys throwing 6 and 7 irons at it?

[jgrubbs]

TOURCast is getting slammed, can't get it to load that good here.

I really don't blame Annika - I blame the media - with their constant attempts to prove men and women are the same they turn things like this into a circus. Annika is doing what any competative person would want to do and that is challenge themselves.
