It was very frustrating, I just couldn't get anything going. I hit a couple irons a little harder than I thought. I left a lot out there. I'm not playing up to my potential. And I just really have to shoot well tomorrow," she said.

I have been hearing this same old story for the past four years!

Although I am not a MW fan, she did play consistantly in Germany

The LET is at best a third-rate tour. The course in Munich wasn't much more than a pitch-and-putt resort layout.

But I'll give Bubbles this much credit. She has found her niche. She belongs playing on a developmental tour like the LET. The Duramed tour would also suit her game.

Even in this woefully weak field, she could do no better than sixth against a bunch of no-names. She started off four shots out of the lead and ended up seven shots out of first. She was never in contention for a victory.

That level is where she belongs. I guess it's better late than never.
