Hello from rainy New Jersey! This week we are in Clifton, NJ playing at Upper Montclair Country Club. Today’s second round was washed out. The rain started early this morning and did not recede. The greens went over around noon and play was canceled at 4:00pm today. The LPGA has a rule that if half the field is unable to complete on 9 holes in any given day, the round is canceled. The event is now a 54-hole event. A cut to 70 and ties after tomorrow’s round and then an 18-hole finish on Sunday. I was set to play at 1:00pm today…I headed to the course as usual at 10:30am and waited through delays and headed home at end.
The 100 degree Las Vegas weather is sounding pretty good right now!
I will have the same time on Saturday and a great group again to play with. I am paired with Cristie Kerr and Annika Sorenstam. What a group! Early this week, Annika announced she would be retiring from the LPGA after the 2008 season. What a surprise!!!! 72 wins and many accomplishments, Annika willl certainly be missed. She has brought so much to the Tour. Women’s golf has been so lucky to have such a classy professional as Annika as our #1 player for so many years. She brings so much to every event she plays in, she is a fantastic role model and wonderful to her fans. She is a very good friend of mine and I will really miss seeing her every week.
