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...

    • I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.
    • So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact. 
    • Yeah I have taken lessons. I also got clubs fitted in like 2011 ish. My driver and wedges aren't from that set though.    1. I'm just not sure why I can't seem to get the face back to square. I don't have that problem with my other clubs. Sure the longer ones a miss tends to be a slice, but I don't need to make a grip change to only sometimes hit the ball reasonably straight.   2. I think there is a bit of inaccuracy there. The number I have in my head is like 195 for my 5 iron. 4 iron also definitely has more variance than all my other irons, but 210ish is about right for non mishits. 
    • Only if they call you Poindexter!
    • For multiple reasons, including "why should anyone else care to continue to search for someone else's ball?" No thanks.
