First-round 77. Likely won't make the cut. The leader(s?) shot 64 - 13 shots better.

I hope it's a good learning experience. She's currently 4th on the Futures Tour money list, and may earn her way to the LPGA anyway.

It was obvious that nerves got to her in a big way yesterday. I still think she's got pretty decent game -- a couple of wins on the Futures Tour are testament to that. But she definitely wasn't playing like she had nothing to lose. She was more along the lines of, "Holy Crap, now I've got to prove myself." And we all know that's not exactly conducive to good golf.

Ol' Keg-Legs will be fine though. I think she'll eventually get on tour and be a solid journeyman. She really is a pretty solid ball-striker. Her putting stroke's iffy, though. And it's obvious her mental game's gonna need a little work.

I gotta wonder if that was a good idea for her to play. In the position she currently holds on the futures tour a week off might hurt her position. If she misses getting her card by one spot they'll be alot of coulda shoulda woulda goin on in her head.

I bet the Golf Channel would've disowned her and tied her down the basement of the Golf Channel studios along with Peter Kessler and made up a story...

but I'm getting carried away

Was the Futures Tour playing this week? Yeah, ok, in Maryland.

Personally, I think the experience gained playing on the LPGA Tour far outweighed any possible slip in the earnings. Even if it took her an extra year to get to the LPGA Tour, now, she will be better prepared when she gets there and know more what to expect.

Besides, it had to be a contractual obligation as the Big Break Winner to play in the Safeway... it was part of the prize package after all. TGC had to drum up interest for this stop...

I mean, let's face it, the only reason we're even talking about the tournament is the Prange Factor.

This thread begs a question. Has any Big Break winner ever become a regular on a PGA/LPGA/European Tour?

No. But they've only had five. And they don't exactly pick people who are even really Nationwide-Tour quality players.

    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
