I felt sorry for In Gee. Man, were Wie and Sorenstam hacking their way around the course or what? On the final hole, Annika dumped her drive into the ocean, and spent like ten minutes bothering everyone (including In Gee, who probably would have preferred preparing her next shot) trying to figure out what her options were. Still, In Gee kept her head, shot a second 72 and is t-7th, as is Jiyai.
The USWO completed a 20-year full circle this week with Mannika the Pill trying for an over-generous drop at #18. Unfortunately, Dumbo is way too nice to tell M-W-W that she doesn't belong out here and that she'll never make money and threaten bodily harm to Jonnie West. Oh, and now we have a qualifier nobody trying to win ... however, she definitely does NOT have a ladies club champion swing.

Why is it so hard to watch this tournament? Some GC yesterday, none today. I can stream lexi jyk and nelly but thats all? Is there a fight between gc and usga? Can you get USA network? They just started five continuous hours of coverage from 6:00 to 11:00 EDT. I m unable to watch that due to our governments interference in my tv preferences

Since the Old Ryu looks washed up, I make a motion to transfer the title of Perfect Woman to Young Jordan Spieth Yu Jin Sung. Do I have a second for that? Bogey-free at a major and still perfect. SYR must have read philknj's screed on here and decided to prove she's no Mannika or Bobblehead.

Michelle Wie's 30-footer on 18 for birdie made ESPN front page. They are claiming this is like, the end, but come on now, we are not stupid.

So Yeon, former world #1, is playing quite well for an invitee, isn't she? Of course she's been ignored completely by the press so they can give Michelle Wie the 1000th cover story in her career. Whatever, here's hoping that So Yeon earns that coverage today and tomorrow!! Hwaiting!

Does anyone understand the pairings? Why didn't Hyo Joo get into the final group? It can't just be "better score", because So Yeon, who had the best score Friday among those at +2, is in one of the first groups going out among them.
Also, why do they have only one web feed right now, and it's covering two players who are way back (Korda and Lopez) and only those two? I can sort of understand doing that in the first two rounds, but why now? Why not give us coverage of more players? Baffling...

When they finish, the second feed is Stark and Zhang. Each feed consists of one 'golden girl' and obviously Rose was chosen as the 'new kid in town.' Gaby is there because by the luck of the draw, she got paired with Nelly, and of course, Lexi was not available today...

Well, yeah, I understand why they are following that group as opposed to a different one, but why follow just one group? Why not give us regular coverage? Heck, even a smaller selection of groups than usual would be better than just one group!

I came in the back gate on #11 and started walking toward the clubhouse. I was immediately offered a ride to No. 1--about a mile. I assumed it was a high ranking USGA official. As he drove off, I noticed his cart was labeled Disability Services.

I don't understand the pairing either, I had to look up and down the Leaderboard to see who, So Yeon is paired with. I just do not understand what the LPGA is doing in this day of better Technology. It seems like they think making a player the face of the LPGA will gain more fans, I guess. I bet the people back East hardly even know who Rose is unless they follow the Amateurs. They used to have cameras moving all over the place. It was really nice to watch, now I just fast forward on the DVR.

I'm convinced they only show one group at a time so we can understand just how incredibly slow some players are. Based on yesterday's featured groups, I know I can always take a bathroom break when it's Lexi's turn. When I come back, she'll still be yapping with her caddy and testing at least 3 different clubs. The ECP and Lydia are almost as bad.

On another note, SBS doesn't show many different groups on KLPGA like they did last year. I don't know if it's because they picked up the KGA or they are both trying to save money. Maybe that's why the SBS doesn't show the English translated names. Or maybe the SBS and Golf Channel are trying to make more money. That's ok I guess

Just heard a somewhat rowdy "RYU HAE RAN HWAITING!" on the 6th hole. Must be a Seoul Sisters party out there following this group.

Who plugged in Nasa Hataoka?!?!? Not totally unexpected; she's a consistent quality player who deserves to win a major one of these days. Maybe tomorrow?

I recognize a bunch of women from Rancho Mirage. They are still super unfriendly.
