    It really would be unfortunate if it’s cut down to 54 holes.

    The ladies really showed up considering the course conditions were probably tougher than Sunday for the men. Of course it looks like the ladies are about to get their share of soft conditions.

    Still it’s a wonder the ladies are going second. What happened to ladies first?

    Weather is controlling the conditions this time but in events where the officials have control, it makes sense that the ladies go first in slightly softer conditions before dehydrating things for the boys.

    Anyhow the men’s event was great like all the Olympic events; regardless of all these doom and gloom Olympic articles. The Olympics aren’t ruined because some big names bow out early. The Olympics aren’t even ruined without fans. Between officials, coaches and volunteers most of the events have just enough people to create some atmosphere. But the significance of all events are still evident.

    There’s going to be some amazing atmosphere the rest of the way in women’s golf with so many extremely hungry for Olympic success.
    Go USA!
    The only prediction I can make is a US sweep baby!

      I’m enjoying the ladies, Inbee Park is my golf role model, I can hit it past her off the tee and she gives us all a lesson on how to hit greens and you gotta LOVE that putting stroke of hers.

        She’s definitely one of my role models as well. And one I often recommend to others.

            Anyhow …what a day 2 nelly had huh ?
            Too bad about the stymie at 18 and leaving herself 50 awkward yards after that. But man she looked on another level.

            That wedge shot for her third would be one that Rory McIlroy would be proud to call his own….
