I agree with you. I understand the women here who are glad to see Anna "succeed". But a longer course will kill her. There is a huge difference in hitting 2 iron to the green verses 6 iron. I would suspect that some posting here do not have the experience to completely understand that difference.

I think everyone agrees she played an excellent round today. And there's no way she's going to sink many more long putts than she did this morning. I suspect we'll see another round in the 70-72 range, which will put her in about the 80th percentile.

An ambiguous result, really. Anyone with a bias will claim vindication.

Yep... and what that tells us is that the best on the woman's tour shoots in the 80th percentile on the men's tour. Which is about what I would have expected before this day started.

An ambiguous result, really.

The majority of people figured she could hit between par and 3-4 over on this course. Most of the pros didn't believe she'd make the cut and most figured she'd miss it by 2-4 strokes.

I think we have learned this:
She played as expected and showed tremendous composure. She's a fantastic, super, talented ladies golfer.
Even the best ladies golfer can't compete on the PGA tour.
Th sponsors were very pleased.
This will be the last time a women plays on the PGA tour (except the one in Hartford)for a while.
