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.

    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.

    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost. 
    • I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).
