I took Nordqvist to win. But I take Anna to win everything. Just like Adam Scott on the PGA Tour. I suck at picking winners, needless to say.

Forgive my ignorance here, but does the Women's US Open usually play as hard as the men's? As in we are expecting a winner near par here?
Thanks Jeff. It looks like the winning scores have been all over the place. Some quite low and some very high as well. I wonder how this one will play out.
Judging from what I have seen regarding the 6 hour rounds, lets just be thankful they aren't playing Olympic Club 2012. We may have seen 8 hour rounds, a winning score of +30, and fans cutting themselves.
6 hour rounds? That's absurd!
I love Dorothy Pepper. Did you hear her comments when informed Brittany Lang was only recently made aware no Duke grad had ever won on tour. She said, "Really? That's living with blinders on. That's one of the most well known facts about the LPGA." Or something to that effect.

Apparently it's a continuing issue for the U.S. Women's Open - found this article from the Open at Oakmont (2010).

You'd think the USGA could get a handle on this on both the men's and women's side, but they act like its harder than herding kittens. I get that the heat, the tv cameras, the whole "production" thing can slow things down, but I don't get not enforcing rules of play, whether it makes for "good tv" or not.

They stated numerous times during the broadcast today that the fairways are really wide and are not the difficult aspect of this course. Some of the fairways they were showing on tv looked wide enough to land an airplane on. I think the length is the biggest factor for the ladies, its the approach shots that are the problem. The last Open they played here was won with +6 but I think -6 will be the winning score this time around from the looks of it.

So length not width is the problem ???
Michelle Wie is making a move today -4 so for for the round.
And now -5. For the sake of the women's game, I would love to see her live up to her potential....
Not me, sorry. She had great potential, but offended a lot of folks with her bad attitude. Just terrible. She dissed a lot of the LPGA players, and even some PGA players, and look where it got her. I'd rather the girls growing up have someone else to look up to, I just don't like her and her 'tudeAnd now -5. For the sake of the women's game, I would love to see her live up to her potential....
Gal, Hurst, Peterson, Wie all tied for the lead ATM, with Kerr 1 back
