Yep. The first time she's been even close to a bogey.
To: ewing
Nope. Very accurate and consistent, all day so far... until just now.
To: Damocles
"She really is playing a fine game of golf today"You are so correct.
The TV coverage of the entire tournment is exceptional. I like this USA channel.

The first rule in putting:It has no chance of going in the hole unless you get it to the hole.

If there is one sport where a woman has excelled and beaten the very best men it has been in Auto Racing. Shirley Muldowney is a living legend for those in the know.

I just want to echo the thanks for the shot-by-shot and the photos... Next best thing to TV for the office-bound...
To: Mr. Mojo
What is the Masters cut line? It's a small number if I remember correctly, below 60. This is an Invitational and has some different guidelines. Many tournaments cut at 60 +ties, but not all.

LPGA Tour events are restricted to women, PGA Tour events are not restricted to men.

"And her putting game was supposed to be her strong suit."No, I believe she's a good to very good putter, but she's not considered a great putter. Her strong suit is her deadly accurate irons.
To: Damocles
Where's Cedric? We had a nice little chat about Anika and the Tour last evening. He was dead set against her playing, and even more confident she wouldn't make the cut. Her play today is the play that every golfer dreams about. She just missed her first fairway on the 5th (14th hole). Just hit her second and it's a low running hook that puts her on the green putting for a long birdie. Another green in regulation, hmmmm. She's averging 260 off the tee today.

The first rule in putting:It has no chance of going in the hole unless you get it to the hole. Have her approaches placed it on the right side of the hole? Poor placement on the green could account for her attempts to lag putt instead of going right at it.
To: vrwinger
WOW! Nice recovery shot! Rolling along the far edge of the green, from the grass.
To: Teacher317
Now, this long putt will be a real test. Great right to left recovery shot.
To: Teacher317
