Thanks.

Beward of the bogeys.
- Meg Mallon, triple bogey.
- Pat Hurst, quad bogey.
- Karrie Webb, quin-bogey (+5), and a triple. Also she dropped 8 shots in 3 holes.
- Karin Sjodin, quad bogey.
- Mi Hyun Kim, triple bogey, and 3 doubles.
- Morgan Pressel, a quad, followed by a triple on 17 & 18, 7 shots dropped in 2 holes.
- Hee-Won Han, a quad bogey.
- Christie Kerr, a triple and 2 doubles.
- Annika 2 double bogeys.
- Silvia Cavalleri, from being joint with Juli at 6 under, she tripled hole 17, to drop 3 shots.

That's just a few of the big names that I clicked on. That course is really dangerous, Juli could not only lose the lead, but lose contention within a 3 hole stretch.

Also, NOTE: Clicking on alot of those scorecards, holes 17 and 18 moreso are littlered with quads and triples.

I feel sorry for fans of the leaders coming down the stretch, because there could be a huge swing.

Notables to miss the cut:

Se Ri Pak 78 and withdrew.
Dorothy Delasin +20, 82, 82. Wasn't she leading a major recently enough?
Meg Mallon +15
Karrie Webb +14, 76, 82
Aree Song +13
Gloria Park +12
Carin Koch +12
Karin Sjodin +11
Suzann Pettersen +11
Virada Nirapathpongporn +11
Michele Redman +9
Mi Hyun Kim +9
Pat Hurst +9
Birdie Kim +8
Brittany Lang +8

.....Annika will win , Miss Wie will place 7th or 8th if she's lucky.

That's the way I see it playing out.

Pretty amazing at 46, eh?

Speaking about old timers, how about 49 y.o. Beth Daniel at T13! Where did that come from? Nice to Davies good play continue as well. This like watching the Masters, all these veterans being right there.

So IIRC, with a win this week, Inkster will have the career grand slam, eight total, and along with Karrie Webb, be one of two players to win all five of the modern majors (including the defunct du Maurier).

Pretty awesome stuff, hope she hangs on. Have a feeling she is going to have to keep up her great play, because you know at least one player out of Stuples, Annika, Laura, Paula, Sophia, et al, is going to take a run at her. Also nice to see Candie Kung play well again, she has been in a bit of a funk this year.

Should be a great weekend at a major!

good scores out there today:

• Lorena Ochoa 65, 212
• Cristie Kerr 66, 213
• 2 other 68s, 4 69s

Meanwhile, Juli bogied the par 3 5th, parred the par 5 6th, and doubled the par 5 7th. 4 under, now tied.

Sorenstam, Gulbis and Sophia now 3 under with 4 others. T3.

Christina Kim and Stuples 2 under, T10.

Daniel, Davies, Kane and Kung with others at 1 under, T13.

Wie shot even par, plus 4. T33.

Shame I will be out this afternoon and miss the thrilling 90 minutes of tape delay coverage.

Yes indeed Juli has come back to the field.
There are nine players on either -4 or -3.

All credit to Lorena Ochoa. A 65 from nowhere to be in a share of the lead. 7 birdies, no bogey, great stuff.

66 from Kerr, and 67 from Guilbis, very good also, to have them at -3 after the 3rd round.

What a shame there is no live coverage this morning. At least a dozen proven contenders battling it out with 3-4 shots of each other, and all we get is an hour and a half tape delay in the afternoon.

There is full live coverage where I am, but you'd have to be close to a tv to watch it.

Holy Batmobile Robin.

Sherri Steinhauer has gone to -7, with a 3 shot lead. How did that happen?
An eagle and 3 birdies in 6 holes, that's how it happened.

Alot of girls are ripping up the course. Fair play to Sophie Gustafson for getting to -4 and being 2nd, having opened with a 76 in the first round.

Juli Inkster +2 for the round. She had 2 double bogeys so far, but has done well to get 3 birdies as well.

By the way, Julie's 3 birdies have all been on par 3 holes. Just thought that was interesting.

Go Natalie Gulbis !!!!

I don't know who's going to win. I'm pulling for Juli. I think she's got the grit to come back after today's disappointment.

Predictions for Round 4:

- Michelle Wie to shoot 64 or thereabouts.
- High scores from Lorena Ochoa, Christie Kerr, Natalie Gulbis and Beth Daniel.
- Sherri Steinhauer to blow up on the back 9 and have some doubles and/or triples.
- Candie Kung to take the title. By the way, the bookies are giving odds of about 33-1 on her. She will beat Sophie Gustafson in a close run thing. Candie will ease away from about hole 14 or so to take the title.
- Annika Sorenstam to have a run at it, but too little too late for her.

Jees rodney... you'll have more luck predicting the lottery numbers

Michelle Wie to shoot 64, you might win your bet if she does that
