Like the last 2 posters, I am a little perplexed about what exactly is going on.
Surely it must be difficult conditions in round 2.

Nobody has come near threatening Wie's score yet, not to mind Ochoa.
Aside from Wie and Ochoa, Annika is still well in this tournament, as she is only 3 shots off the 3rd placed -4.

If conditions are really that tough, perhaps Creamer is in with a great chance with her -4 score.
Ochoa is level par for the day and still at -10 after 8 holes. Obviously the rest of her round, will tell a big story.

Pressel was very threatening and then she went bogey, treble bogey.

Obviously what scores Ochoa and Wie have today are going to make a massive difference to how the likes of Annika approaches the weekend, and how far back she is at that stage.

Oh, Wie has teed off, a par at the 1st. This should be interesting.

I'm watching this now and Ochoa on cruise control. If she keeps this up Michelle will be playing for 2nd again. Currently -12, up by 7.

Lucky you wazmankg

The tournament is not on any channels in Ireland or the UK.
We have the other 3 lpga majors on various channels, and of course most lpga tournaments on The Golf Channel, but the Nabisco just seems to have slipped through the net of the tv channels.

I am very surprised at Ochoa, but I will be even more surprised if there isn't some sort of a wobble. Surely winning a major isn't that easy.

Hold on, the lead is down to 6, but it isn't Wie in 2nd, it's Karrie Webb, good old Karrie, with an eagle on a par 4.

[wazmankg]

She just holed one, center-cut, from the fairway. She has a 7-footer for bird on the next hole. Webb is looking strong. It's been awhile for her.

Karrie Webb is on fire. She must have just holed out from the fairway on 15 because she just carded an eagle on that par 4. She's now in 2nd with only has 3 holes to go in this round.

Webb drained it. -7. At least someone is making a run at Ochoa.

Wie back to -6, Webb may have company on that run at Ochoa.

[wazmankg]

Ochoa has missed 3 inside 12 feet since I turned it on. She's firing darts.

[rodney_c]

Waz, it's not that long since the lead was 7, and a bogey from Ochoa means it is down to just 5. Not that much really with 2 full rounds to go, and of course Wie still has half of this round to do.

The winning score here could still be about -8 in my opinion.

[davehowe]

Wie back in sole 2nd place with a birdie on hole 2. The lead is down to 4. I think that Wie has the more difficult of the 2 9's behind her. She's certainly within striking distance of the lead with two rounds to go.

[stlcard_25]

Wie finished up at -7 overall, -1 for the day. Not too bad since they were saying that the wind was at its toughest when she was finishing up. Her drive at #2 was an impressive 327 yards...Judy said she had never seen anyone in the spot she hit it to in the fairway.

I'm taking L Ochoa 25/1, seems like a good bet.

I can't believe Gulbis's shoulder turn. she's pretty flexible wait til she's 50, if she trys that she'll end up in rehab.

it is a good tournament though. #18 might determine the winner if they keep the tee's to the back.

Yes, it was said that Wie certainly had the very toughest of the conditions, so she did really well to get that score, given that so many were hitting rounds high in the 70's.
Also, Wie's round equalled that of Creamer and was better than Sorenstam, who both had easier conditions.

What about moving day then?
Who is going to move most, any predictions?

Nice try.
