LOL, true indeed. But, StA would appear to favor Wie much more than Pressel, in theory at least. Still, poor show by Morgan, no question.

Hope it comes down to a playoff between Ochoa & Inkster; historic win either way.

Wow, looking at the leaderboard for this, the weather must have been terrible, but I can't find an AP article to describe what happened. Inkster +9 today, Wendy Ward +7, Annika something like +4 or +5, and Ochoa six clear.

There are definite parallels between her and the other noted major choke artist, Sergio. Both will have leads going into the final day and have led wire-to-wire. But six shots is a lot to gag.

Also, no clue where the coverage is for this. Tried to find it on ABC, ESPN, and TNT. I guess nobody cares...

The 90 minutes worth of coverage just went off the air on ABC here in Atlanta. Ochoa is the only player handling the course and the elements. As an aside, Creamer turns 21 tomorrow.

Comes on 1pm Eastern for two hours Sunday. Hard to see Lorena blowing it, but if the winds are 35mph again tomorrow ya never know.

If Annika shoots a 70, and Ochoa decides to play in the Road Hole bunker.... Not likely, but not impossible.

LOL at Inkster's 79-68-82.

I wish they had more coverage of this. Watching the men's Open weekend mornings is my favorite golf viewing of the year. Heck, I'd watch coverage of podiatrists from Pasadena playing St. Andrews.

Okay, maybe not. An hour and a half or two hours of tape delay kinda sucks though.

Ochoa is really head and shoulders above everyone else this season, which is funny because she looks like she's about 4'8" on TV. (Just looked it up, says she's 5'6").

[HDPM]

yeah, the tape delay sucks as we are also discussing in the Buick thread. Also, when I tried to watch a bit yesterday the coverage drove me nuts. They were showing hardly any shots, and it seemed like the ones they were showing were 5' putts. It is one thing to show par putts live, but in a tape delay highlight package I want to see the course and interesting shots. I thought the coverage sucked. 8 minutes of talking, a par putt, an iron shot and a break. Slight exaggeration, but I didn't watch much.

[Bill Murphy]

Good thing, as you just missed an interview w/an apparently 75 year old Beth Daniel. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Creamer's 21st birthday party tonight > Ochoa's victory party?
