You see, sometimes your opponents don't get the memo!
After the GB&I Team jumped out to a 3-1 lead in the morning session, both teams split the afternoon matches. That means the favorites are down 7-5 going into today's matches, and there's bad weather coming in which could play into the hands of the "underdogs." With 14 points up for grabs -- 4 foursomes in the morning, 10 singles in the afternoon -- anything could happen now. Maybe 2 points isn't an overwhelming lead, but any lead helps when the weather turns on you.
The Walker Cup should be extremely interesting today. Potential upsets are almost always more interesting than runaway wins. After all, it takes two to make a race; otherwise it's just one runner out for a jog.
And while I'm talking about races, a couple of runners may make the LPGA event even more interesting than it already is:
- Yesterday I did a post about Taylor Leon and her efforts to get her card for next year. As it happens, she played really well Saturday. She's still just 1 stroke off the lead of Yani Tseng and Amy Yang (who's also vying for her first LPGA win), now in 3rd place all alone.
- And Sara Brown, the Big Breaker I've been watching since she got her cards for both the LPGA and LET, has missed the cut in all 8 tournaments she's played this year. (She's done fairly well on the LET.) Apparently 9 is the charm! Sara not only made the cut, she shot 6-under to put herself only 4 strokes off the lead. A good finish here might even secure her card for next year.
