Bits and Pieces

-Scramble at 11 this morning at Lakeview.

-Annika Sorenstam with some words on increasing your distance.  Notice the first thing she talks about is your own conditioning.  Note to self: redouble work on getting back to playing weight and in fighting trim.  That means attention to diet (cut the sugar is always a good place to start for me) and more exercise (walking is always excellent; add some weight work).

-In Singapore at the HSBC Champions Tournament, Michelle Wie has a terrible back nine with four bogeys.  She had six of them on the day against only one birdie, and fell completely out of the picture.  Chie Arimura leads at -11.  Yani Tseng, at -5 in the tournament, has a ways to go to keep her winning streak alive.  Karrie Webb is one back of the leader.

-Predictions for the match play event in Arizona: Moore beats Donald and advances to face Yang who beats Kuchar on one side; Jimenez takes care of the only #1 left, Martin Kaymer and gets to face Holmes who beats Watson in the smash ball contest of the day.  The semifinals will be played this afternoon, moved up from Sunday with fears of frost delaying things.  Guess the two finalists don't play 36 holes on Sunday anymore.

-North Daviess won their final game of the season beating Eastern Greene last night, 41-40.  Nick Crays had the winning shot.  Like Loogootee, the Cougars now wait till next Friday to play again.  Both teams have byes in the sectional which starts next Tuesday.

-Parting shot: Faces in the Crowd (from the Jack Butcher Arena Thursday night).  Anybody you know?
