Ochoa holes out for eagle at U.S. Women's Open - Wie struggles
SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. – Lorena Ochoa just dunked it from a fairway bunker on the 14th for eagle at Pine Needles this morning in the U.S. Women’s Open first round.
This could be the week for the world No. 1’s first major breakthrough.
Like any U.S. Open, there are some high scores out there, but red numbers can be found. Ochoa, at 2-under and still on the course, is one back of Angela Park.
How about Amateur Mina Harigae? She went 41-31 to finish 1-over for the day…
Michelle Wie is duffing it all over the course (+8). More on her and Gulbis in a few…
Afternoon tee times include Sorenstam, 12-year-old Alexis Thompson, ‘05 champ Birdie Kim and Paula Creamer…

Brandon,
"Bubbles' bubble has burst!"
She shot a brilliant 82 in her penultimat round in the 2007.
She did, however, manage to score one stroke less than at least one other player, none other than Karrie Webb. That should give the Wie-wee's some cause for rationalizing.
Karrie has about 40 LPGA wins and a few more worldwide, so an unusually poor round can be expected occasionally, even from a proven winner.
What's Bubbles' excuse this time?

I think, um, like, it was really fun today. I am like really close and I um, think I could have like shot 62, like, um with a little luck. The course is like, not really hard for, um, me. I was just, um, unlucky. I can't wait, um, like to get home, so I can, um, look for my exemption to um, the British Open. That will be like so cool. I can defintiely like beat Tiger and the men. The women's tour is boring and um, like, no challenge for me.

Wie is moving up the leaderboard without playing because others are falling down the leaderboard.

Yes. Wie moved all the way from 2nd worst to 3rd worst, after one player hit a septuple bogie. You go Wie! Pretty soon she'll crack the top 10!

I have a certain theory as to why Bubbles has settled into a routine of shooting in the 80's.
If her elocution, or rather lack thereof is any indication, perhaps scoring in the low 80's matches her IQ.

Ok I'm a 9 handicap. On a great day I'm shooting 73, 74. But on a bad day I'm shoting 92. When I shoot anything higher than 85 there is no way in the hades that I can honestly say I was a fraction off shooting about the lowest I can go which is 73. I played horribly when shooting the higher number. When is Wie going to get her head out of her behind and just admit she has no game and that she is in need of some rebuilding, or just quitting altogether. It is just amazing that Nike and other sponsors let her be so ridiculous in front of the media. Her game is bad enough, why make it worse with such inane comments. I still have no idea how Stanford accepted her. There is no way she'll graduate from there, will be another WD or MC.
