I suspect the course is effectively under 7000 yards if at sea level.

I think the majority will agree with me that this is not anything special.

It's 7,400 yards over a mile high, so it plays like 6,700 yards. Basically it's like a challenging US Women's Open setup.

So yeah, +1 is a pretty good score for her. But not a "wow." Just a continuation of a number of good rounds in a row for Michelle, except that doing it in Reno is useless.

I'd be more impressed if she were -7 at the Womens British Open.

I was going to write, "so you want her to be challenging Julie Linkster", but then I realized they were not playing a links this year.

She self-admittedly played a good round but still will have a difficult time making the cut.  Nobody has doubted her talent (even the past year), just her choices.

Is Michelle Wie old enough to watch now and not worry about that Hannah Montana guilt feeling I get in my gut?  The other day me and my two sons, 13 and 22, were enjoying an episode of Hannah Montana when my wife walked in the room.  You guys need to examine your fetishes.

Probably the most remarkable thing about that stat is that 306 yards is 64th in the field.  Time to dial back the ball!

Before we all lose our minds, let us not forget they are playing at elevation this week.   ;D  The average tee ball will be going 20-30 yard farther than normal.

She was beating my college buddy too...until she teed off today.

Look at these stats:

Driving accuracy - T115th out of 128

GIR:  T124th.

That's not gonna get it done on the PGA TOUR.  I think she's grinding...

Gee...yah think? :)

I feel that  I am watching a train wreck. An attractive girl with a ton of talent with the ability to compete against grown women in very serious competition. Now another disappointment playing against men.

Her handlers decided that she was an attractive commodity and spent time and effort to convince sponsors to pay an enormous up-front bonus to shill for them. The money might satisfy the parents but they are destroying the girl.

By the time this farce is over she will have a tough time breaking an egg, let alone par.
