I'm sorry did my original post suggest that the course would ONLY play different for Annika? You seem to be suggesting that I think she shot poorly or that I want her to shoot poorly. I am fairly certain that my post suggested nothing of the sort.

#1) PGA players are used to fast greens; LPGA players are not.

#2) Fast greens will leave her at a distinct disadvantage on her iron shots. Men spin the ball much harder, and therefore get their iron shots to stick to the greens a lot more easily. Today's slow greens negated that advantage (for the men). If the greens are faster tomorrow, their advantage will be back.
