uh-oh, they just said "this is sort of a coming-out party for Annika"! LOL. Forty-five FReepers just exclaimed, "I knew it!" ;^)

[Mr. Mojo]

The cut is 70 players and ties

It's 60 and ties.

[dwilli]

She has pretty much put the chatter that She was a wasted exemption to shame.

Again you lie, because you are a person of poor character and low intellect.

[Admin Moderator]

Knock it off.

[AGreatPer]

She is running to a Portapotty. Funny stuff.

[Conservative til I die]

I see 22 putts after 12 holes. That's kinda bleh. 10 2-putts, and 2 1-putts. If she could just have hit two or three of those 2-putts in one, she's right there at the top.

[discostu]

Yes sir.

[deport]

Really... I guess the PGA Tour web site scoring page is incorrect then.... how about the following.....

After two rounds, the field will be cut to the low 70 professionals and ties.
The color-coded cells at the far left of the leaderboard indicate the range of a player's position on the PGA TOUR Money List at the start of the week's event.
The asterisk (*) identifies a player who started on the back nine.

And her putting game was supposed to be her strong suit. If she gets hot with the putter, nothing is out of her range of possibility.

[Steve_Seattle]

Never up, never in - true in sex and golf. She's been consistently short on her putts. On another day, she'd sink several of those.

[Mr. Mojo]

Strange...I wonder if that's only for this event. Usually it's 60.

[Teacher317]

Hole- 10 .11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 1 . 2 . 3 . 4
Par - 4 .. 5 .. 4 .. 3 .. 4 .. 4 .. 3 .. 4 .. 4 .. 5 .. 4 .. 4 .. 3
A.S - 4 .. 5 .. 4 .. 2 .. 4 .. 4 .. 3 .. 4 .. 4 .. 5 .. 4 .. 4 .. 3

Not shabby!

5th (par 4, 470 yds): Drive is rolling down the grass, off the fairway

Her first poor shot, but recoverable.

[discostu]

Actually given the faster greens I think she might be over compensating. If she can hold out through today expect a much better performance tomorrow. This is a lot like Game 1 jitters in the NHL, teams that manage to avoid embarassment tend to come out strong in Game 2.

[Damocles]

She really is playing a fine game of golf today.

[presidio9]

Facts are facts. I'm not lying. Neither are you. We both know why.

[ewing]

Has she even had to hit a chip shot yet?

[So Cal Rocket]

She'll have to lay up from there, then put it close to make par.
