Watched a few minutes this morning before heading to work. I like just seeing the courses and I'm always interested in seeing players out in the elements.
Interesting leaderboard with Lexi currently tied for the lead and Michelle Wie early in her 2nd round

I'm watching it, as I work from home. :-)

I Like Lexi Thompson and Stacy Lewis. Lewis is hanging in there at -2.

I'm hoping for I.K. KIM to win it to make up for that major she let get away a few years ago.

In my bag Driver: Cleveland CG tour black Fairway Woods: Diablo Octane 3 wood; Diablo 5 wood Irons: Mizuno MP53 5-9 Hybrid: Cobra 3, 4 T-Rail Wedge: 46* Cleveland, 50* Cleveland, 54* Titleist, 60* Titleist Putter: Odyssey protype #6 Ball: Maxfli U4/U6... But I'm not really picky about the ball I use.

I know, right?

Maybe injuries has forced her to change her swing "drastically"?

Her score is certainly different.

8 under for the first round. 4 over for the second round.

Yes. I.K. Kim is in the lead after 36 holes

Yes.

What I had hoped is happening. IK KIM is starting to run away from the crowd....so far.

Lexi Thompson is stuck in neutral.

Stacy Lewis and InBee Park had a great round is at -9 and -10 respectively.

I was hoping Michelle Wie would be healthy and have a good event. But that, once again, seems like a pipe dream.

There is nothing wrong with her physically.

I think she's fighting demons in her head. Ever seen her art work?:-O

I almost always hope Michelle has a chance in any tournament.   She still is a fan favorite, and a favorite of mine.

I believe iacas is referring to Wie's whiplash injury last year that may still be occasionally bothering her. Last month she withdrew from the US Open due to neck pain.

It doesn't look like it's bothering her today. She's having a great round.

She didn't look like she was bothered by any injury on Thursday either,

I think she just loses focus during a tournament..

It doesn't seem to be bothering her, but you never know (maybe she's just playing through the discomfort).  She's had enough problems with injuries that it's tough to tell.  The one thing I'm pretty darn sure of is that she's never "lost focus" during a tournament.

She's now -6 through 10 holes...and she's missed at least one make-able birdie putt.  Quite a round, even if it won't be enough to catch Kim.
