Wow, -4 misses the cut, pretty hard to shoot that and then have to slam the trunk. Looks like another dog fight again this week. This is great for the LPGA and there seems to be a resurgence for the American player lately. Michelle Wie may have found her putting style and also she is hitting the ball pretty darn well too. I hope this is the real thing for her. She needs to get back to playing like she is capable of doing. Must be injury free after the last couple of years of one thing after another. Vicky Hurst is also playing well and Stacy is back in form. A lot of second place finishes but no wins for quite a while.

It's a dogfight. Unfortunately, my wife is really sick and likely getting admitted to the hospital, so I haven't had much time for watching anything. Not even the NCAA tournament, unfortunately.

Wish I could watch this tournament but it is not likely to happen. I'd love to see Michelle win one again.

rsvman, I hope all goes well with your wife. Wie has backed up once again. It is nice though to see her play well again Stacy as well. This is going to be one heck of a dog fight Sunday. I will enjoy watching it. Sorry you will miss it.
