LPGA player Annika Sorenstam will be teeing off shortly in a men's PGA event at the Colonial Country Club [the first time in 60 years this has happened]

Live shot for shot coverage as long as she is in contention to make the cut on USA Networks, PGA Radio is free today for those cubicle bound and wanting live update (link included)

And where does a screen load to when you first hit the page? The top, where the sponsor's name is. And if you're checkin on ESPN instead (with much better servers) it's right next to her score. YOU LOSE AGAIN.

Oh, and she's two strokes off the lead. It's early but she's destroying your prediction so far. MORE LOSING BY PRESIDIO.

[Steve_Seattle]

She is not an amazon. Very normal, feminine build.

[ewing]

Looks like another birdie opportunity...

[killroy]

Aiming for par will place one in the middle of the pack on the Tour most often. It's trying to win that causes misses and high scores. The issue is not whether she can shoot in the middle of the pack, but whether she can WIN!

[Charles Henrickson]

A conservative Swede? I guess it could happen - she has been living in the States awhile.

Ya, shure, you betcha!

(BTW, at the bottom left of the stamp, the photographer is listed as "J. Henriksson."
No relation that I know of, although that is the way my relatives in Sweden spell the name.)

[Teacher317]

Ah, yes, but the question is, can she beat most men in the sport?

[kevkrom]

Name one sport where the best women would beat the best men any more than once in a hundred

I'll give you two: equestrian and fencing

Oh, and she's two strokes off the lead. It's early but she's destroying your prediction so far. MORE LOSING BY PRESIDIO.

That observation indicates that you understand golf not one bit.

Geena made it to the Olympic Finals last time and finished 30th or so..

"She is not an amazon. Very normal, feminine build."

A little skinny, but very wiry. I think she's a pleasant looking woman, with a nice smile and good eyes.

[SerpentDove]

>>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?<<

No the official like is that she is "cute"®.

???? Whatever.

[ewing]

Jeff Sluman is now leading at -2..

[discostu]

Your prediction was that she would be utterly destroyed and embarassed with zero chance of winning. Sure she's only 1/4 of the way through the cut rounds but she's above the cut and two strokes off the lead. Obviously not zero chance of winning.

[over3Owithabrain]

I'm sorry - I meant SPORT

[MineralMan]

"The issue is not whether she can shoot in the middle of the pack, but whether she can WIN!"

Not really. I don't think she believes she will win this tourney at all. I think she's there to see how she does against the men. If she's in the middle of the pack, then she'll be among some of the best golfers in the country, men or women. Not too many duffers on the tour, dontcha know.

[Protagoras]

Freepers have critiqued her attire, accused her of steroids, found her mustache today.

I have seen about ten very close up shots of her face so far and I cannot detect any hair on her upper lip.

[ewing]

Check that, Billy Andrae is -4 now..

[Teacher317]

Andrade is at -4
