Good performance, if she can settle in tomorrow and make more of those putts things could get very interesting.

She'll need to hit approach shots closer to the hole if she's going to sink these putts. According to ESPN her putts have been (in feet, starting w/ #10): 14, 15, ?, 15, 28, 20, 6, 30, ?, 15, 40, 12, ?, ?, 25.

The 6 footer was the only legitimate birdie opportunity; the putts at 12-15 feet are marginal at best. Anything over that would not normally be called a putt for birdie.

Maybe at the local goat pasture. Six footers are gimme's on tour. Most pro's will routinely make 20-30 foot putts or more.

I disagree. And so do most golfers I know, including the announcers. If Tiger has a 15 footer you don't think that's concidered a birdie putt?

Well she made her birdie on a 15 footer and has come within inches on a few more of those marginal and big. Seems to be getting her range. I think of putts within inches as a lot like foul hits in baseball, it doesn't count as a hit but putting wood on the ball means you're starting to figure out the pitcher, when you see a few players in a row get a couple fouls each you know the team is getting his range and going to start abusing him soon. We'll see tomorrow how well my metaphor holds ;)
