Seeing as how today's round was played on a course softened up by rain, tomorrow does not bode well for Annika.

Once the course starts to dry out, Colonial will show her teeth. Annika had trouble with the speed of Soaked, soft greens today -- tomorrow they will dry out and she will be seeing green speeds the likes of nothing she has ever played. Add to that the fact that she cannot spin shots the way the PGA players can and she will be faced with numerous shots running through the greens, and will also have a ton of long long putts.

She may hit every fairway - her accuracy is unquestioned - but she will be hitting wood or long iron into rock hard greens that she does not have the tools or skills to handle.

I fully expect to see another 30+ putt round, and expect to see her shoot 74-76 tomorrow.

Good points, and Annika will be teeing off last with all of the spike marks on dry greens in afternoon winds.. (with normal PGA speeds)

Tomorrow afternoon may be rough indeed for her

Funny, most apologists I heard said she was hurt yesterday because the course played "Long." All I know is she came into the Tournament averaging 275 off the tee. Yesterday, she averaged 248. Of course the LPGA doesn't inflate its stats. Perish the thought!
