I think Annika is better conditioned, mentally and physically, and will prevail. Hurst won't keep making as many putts as she has so far to stay in it.

I was very impressed by three people's rounds today: Wie, Hurst, and Prammanasudh. The last one of the three hit FIVE greens all day and took only 23 (I think) putts. Wow. Horrible play, but great short game.

And Wie didn't fare much better on the hitting greens thing, either, missing greens with wedges in her hand several times. Poor showing there, great with the putter. She can't get it all together.

-2 for Hurst speaks for itself.

First one for Hurst!

I feel that Hurst deserves this one. Sorenstam wins too much.

Going back to reality...I believe Hurst is more calm. Although Sorenstam has a tremendous amount of patience, Hurst seems wiser in my opinion.

GO HURST!!

Yeah, I like Sorenstam, but I may jump on the Hurst Train tomorrow. The announcers were getting on my nerves... as if Hurst was just a speed bump on Annika's path to reclaiming her third US Open.

When I have no vested interest in the race (read: "no money riding on it anymore because my horse Wie lost"), I tend to pull for the underdog, anyway.

Dear lord I hope Annie wins, watching Hurst play made me vomit in my mouth just a little bit. The woman can obviously play, but watching it isn't pretty.

I think Annika is going to take it. Like someone said earlier I dont think that Hurst is going to be making those putts that she was making yesterday, and if she keeps it in the rough like she did yesterday she will have a tough time. Look for Annika to win.

Hurst apparently equals speed bump. My bad.

A large bump at that...

    • Day 129: 5/4/24 Stack training but could not certify my warmup speed. Dealing with a pulled neck muscle. Chips and pitches at a local course for about 15 minutes.
    • Typically less than 50. I find this can be affected by the "CART" signs on a given course. I don't like taking my rangefinder out of the cart and carrying it around to the green. I am very fearful I will leave it somewhere. 
    • First ever holed out greenside bunker shot! It's crazy it took this long to finally get one during a round, but the cold streak is officially over. Hole 6 on the Palmer Course at PGAN. I hit my driver like 225 into a really stiff wind, then worm burned a hybrid into the bunker. I was about I dunno, 40-45 feet away. Birdie! Let's go! The red Xs the approximate location of each shot.  Really fun!! 
    • Day 23: Rained all day, so no ball hitting. Worked indoors on top of the backswing feel, and also putted around the living room working on bead.
    • Played Four Oaks in Dracut today going back to the 2 man scramble match play format. My brother and I shot a team 81 winning 3 and 2. Had so many good shots today using a more centered turn. Seems to have really iginited my golf game. We'll see if I can keep it going.
