While Lorena Ochoa was busy getting her name in LPGA history books with a staggering 10-under 62, Michelle Wie went from the classroom to the first major of the year in style, with a sterling 66.
Morgan Pressel did little to disappoint with a 3-under 69.
Annika Sorenstam didn’t blow anyone away, going one-under her first round, and Natalie Gulbis, who has been solid all year, was disappointing with a 1-over round.
It will be interesting to watch what transpires the next few days. While obviously anything can happen, a few things come to mind. Ochoa obviously can’t keep this up, but she probably won’t go Davis Love III, either. Look for her to drop back, however.
And could this be the week Wie breaks through? Whether you love her or hate her, most everyone agrees it’s not if she wins, it’s how much will she win and against whom.
But regardless, the Wie Warriors will be simply unbearable if she makes the Kraft Nabisco Championship her first.
