-Defending champ withdraws at Lorena Ochoa Invitational. The Wie Lass opens with a birdie but then goes +7 on the remaining 17 holes and withdraws from the tournament because of back problems. Dang the luck and get better fast, Michelle. With her history with injuries, good to take action sooner rather than later.
-Her playing partner, Cristie Kerr, shot 14 strokes better and leads with a score of 8 under par. Yani Tseng also struggled with a +4 round.
-Tiger still struggling in Melbourne. He fired a one over in his second round and trails the leader by 8. Jeesh.
-Lakeview's top twenty in the 2000's - the other five. Had to go back and look at the league records to come up with the other five (first fifteen in Wednesday's B&P): Ron Wilde, Terry Padgett, Ron Hettle, Al Kavanaugh and Tyler Kidwell.
-Top women golfers at Lakeview in the 2000's: Three come to mind - Susan Eyler, Susan Fee, and Wilma Bateman.
-No noon scramble yesterday - not enough interest. It was a lovely day, another one, and the course did see plenty of golfers coming out and taking advantage of it.
-Saturday Morning Scramble will start at 9am. Yes, we're going to beat the rain which is scheduled to get here about 11. Would be nice to get a little rain, don't you think? The course is crispy.
-Eric finished up with the tee boxes. Aerated, fertilized, seeded, sanded, dragged. Expect he's watering them right about now. Guess I'll head over and take a walk.
