Which is what happened to a lot of the players she is in front of. Scott McCarrom is three behind Sorenstam because he triple-bogeyed 15. He's trying to win some money to put food on the table, not "prove" some vague point. Somebody mentioned Lee Janzen. Lee has struggled for a few years now, and had fallen to, like, 75th on the money list. But he shot 1-over because he had 4 bogeys to go with his three birdies. Golf is a risk-reward sport. Today he payed. Annika had, what, 4 putts for birdie today? Five?
Yep, playing par or one over will make you go broke on the PGA tour.
Your snotty little tone wore on me the other night, and it's wearing on me today. Give the woman her due:
