Wow, trinkets - and only 30 of them will actually get to play Augusta National on the last day... This annoying tournament gets ways too much attention.

The ANWA website does not have one pic of Erica Shepherd from Monday or Tuesday ... epic fail. 
Tuesday prep:
Rina Tatematsu
Were you sickened by street food in Seoul during the last six months? If yes, contact the law office of Hwang, Lee and Bang.
Crusty, Salas, Dr. Noh ... not sure about the fourth one.

Let me explain how I think this works.
You hear rumors that Augusta National is trying to contact you.
The contact is finally made by phone. It rings. You pick up the phone. Augusta National offers you an all-expense-paid trip to Augusta National for a practice round on April 1st.
Normally people are thrilled at the chance and would accept it immediately but you're really smart so you ask, "What's the catch?"
The person on the phone explains that you'll need to play two rounds at this awesome Champions Retreat CC against the top lady golfers in the world for a chance to play one more round at Augusta National.
You could let your emotions get the better of you and accept immediately but you are smarter than that and realize you'd prefer a practice round and all three rounds at Augusta National instead all at Augusta National's expense.
After a few minutes you come to your senses and decline your one shot playing Augusta National by screaming SEXISM into the phone and hanging up never to play Augusta National and vow to never visit Georgia as long as you live.
One coach asked all eight lady golfers he has what one tournament they want to win
Not one said a single major on the LPGA tour. All eight quickly said ANWA.
Weather you like it or not, ANWA is the sole goal of almost ever lady golfer from 5 to 25 years old. Retired LPGA pros are red with envy.

The field was allowed to work The Main Room on Tuesday night:
Fear The Tree (Krauter, Ganne, Heck, Ye, Sturdza and The Zhangster)
Team LSU (Lindbland and Stone)
Mychael O'Berry ...
... not to be confused with Mike O'Berry.

Is there any mention at all in Korean media about the Koreans playing in ANWA?
Wow. Can you imagine the feelings of family and friends when their 16 year old is leading at ANWA? I would be very pleasantly surprised.

Due to weather, they haven't started Round Two yet .... won't allow spectators into the place before 3 PM ... at this rate, they'll cut into (or cut out) Friday's practice at ANGC.

I have some faith Augusta National knows what it's doing and has some sort of plan. I have no real idea what that plan is. I know one thing. Augusta National has the cash to bless all the ladies with a free trip back to Augusta National in a couple weeks to fulfill all their promises.

I assume the link above will stream Round Two at the 9th and 18th holes only from 5:30 PM thru 7:30 PM EST today. I don't know if they'll have time for a playoff after that ... or maybe they'll delay it until tomorrow AM.

Round Two suspended (to be continued Friday AM) -
Wallin E
Avery E
Borja E
Castle +1
Stone +1
Moresco +1
Lith-Nissen +1
Davis +2 Krauter +2
McGinty +2
MacNab +2
Morgan +2
Spitz +2
Shinsil Bang (+3), one of only four players to be under-par for the second round (so far) ... should follow the advice of Satchel Paige: Don't look back, someone might be gaining on you.

This event is hard.
Champions Retreat is a serious test.
The greens were fast and firm but they definitely are now.
It culls off those who aren't playing well. Some could easily argue this is the Woman's Amature Masters. There's no other Amature event with this sort of international field.
The week of the Masters average golfers can schedule tee times at private Champions Retreat Golf Club and experience the horror for themselves.
