I'm not sure she has the game for the British type courses, but her solid all-around play will keep her in it as always. Plus she finished high last year... I'm giving her another top five finish, with a chance to win on the back nine on Sunday. Though, if I'm gonna be real specific, I think it'll be due to a Sunday mini-charge from a few groups ahead of the final twosome.

I got her in the top 5 yet again, but I think things'll be too "different" for her teenaged mind to win outright. Wouldn't be suprised to see a top 3 finish, actually.

You're not agreeing with me, actually. I think she'll finish top 5 yet again.

I think she will finish just outside the top five. I'm guessing a tie for seventh or so.

It's time for Paula Creamer to win this year. Her injuries are nagging, but she is starting to get used to playing with them. Her finishes have improved over the past month or so, and she is very tough mentally. She has what it takes to win across the pond.

If I'm not mistaken, it would be her first major as well.

Didn't Annika just win the US Open?

it's not really "just"... it was 7/2. She one first event of the season (3/1 or something) then the US Open, no better than 5th in the last 3 events... she's due

I thinks she will be top 5. If the course allows it I think she will try to play like tiger did at the British. I think Laura Davies may make her last real run at major at this one. She is putting better, still hits the ball long, and has good creativity with recovery shots. Christie Kerr could do well also.

Okay. But I do think you are correct that she will find more challenge on British type courses than those here in the states. I just think that challenge will push her down the leaderboard a bit more than others obviously think.

Plus, she has been playing SO well she's due for a change -- either to win this thing or fall off form just a bit. I just think all the ingredients are present for a slight stumble. Certainly not a train wreck. Just a minor derailment.

I voted top 5. I think it will come down to Annika and Karrie Webb (who has had an incredible year with 3 wins and leading the money list).

I think the pressure's finally getting to Wie. Look at her lose her mind during a practice round this week.



Either that, or she's a 16 year old girl that's having an insane amount of fun with this golf thing.

Top 5 again this week, strong possibility of a 1st place finish.

Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.
    • I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.
    • Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again. 
    • Perceptive rules question by caddie unlocks Tour pro’s ‘dead zone’ relief A perceptive rules question by Xander Schauffele’s caddie, Austin Kaiser, unlocked “dead zone” relief during the Wells Fargo Championship.
    • I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.
