HSBC Women's Champions separating the women from the girls
Friday February 29, 2008 | 11:31:51 203 words, 3081 views
Holy cow, have you seen the HSBC Women’s Champions leaderboard? Lorena Ochoa, in her debut event of the season, is making a bold statement with two rounds of 66, 65. The statement, of course, is a rather loud “Move over, Annika, there’s a new number one in town.” She is now seven strokes in the lead, at 13-under par. It would appear that the extra time she spent practicing in Mexico is paying off. Tied for second seven strokes back is a threesome that includes Annika Sorenstam, Paula Creamer, and South Korean In-Kyung Kim, who made a bit of a statement herself yesterday with an eagle on number 9. And don’t count out Karrie Webb, also making her season debut—she’s just a stroke off the Sorenstam, Creamer, Kim trio. This inaugural tournament, which is being played in Singapore, was much anticipated as the season’s first head-to-head matchup of Sorenstam and Ochoa, with Paula Creamer looking for a repeat of last week’s Fields Open victory. So far it doesn’t disappoint. Better to watch the leaderboard online, because television coverage of this inaugural tournament is, shall we say, minimal: just one hour a day.

Thank goodness that Michelle is not playing in this tournament. With no cut she would probably finish 50 strokes behind Lorena and still say that her score did not reflect how well she played. It seems that Michelle and the Wie Camp have taken the money and ran. I can not see her being a part time golfer and part time student for the next six years.

Jennifer,
You forgot to mention that out of the one hour that is so graciously given to the LPGA gals, 38 minutes is for commercials!

Well, I was close with the predication that if Michelle had played in the HSBC Championship she would have been beaten by Ochoa by 50 strokes. Na Da Ye finished 49 strokes behind Lorena. Only 13 players were under par during the four rounds and Lorena beat Annika by 11 strokes. These women are suppose to be the best players in the world? Maybe Michelle has a chance after all.
