Kevin Sutherland Shot -8 and Lost Ground

The scores out on the LPGA event are insane. I imply, Anna Nordqvist shot -11 and nonetheless handiest managed a 2-shot lead! But it wasn't just the girls who went low.

Steve Stricker, making his Champions Tour debut on the Tucson Conquistadores Classic, shot -10 Saturday. He now has a 3-shot lead over Tom Lehman and a 5-shot lead over Kevin Sutherland and Fred Couples.

Steve Stricker in Champions Tour debut

Stricker sits at -sixteen after two rounds. Let's positioned that during angle...

Woody Austin WON with that rating remaining yr!

Steve ignored the reduce at Valspar final week. Apparently he determined to take it out on the old guys this week, before teeing it up on the Shell Houston Open (the PGA Tour occasion right earlier than the Masters) week after next.

Of path, this does not mean that Stricker is going to dominate the Champions Tour the manner other beginners have. But after looking him stick wedge after wedge close to the pin, and make putts like they had been going for walks in a channel to the hollow, I can not assist however marvel if the relaxation of the Champions are a little worried.

After all, endure in mind that Stricker is supposed to be "distracted" with the aid of his responsibilities as the Presidents Cup captain right now. What takes place once he can "consciousness" on his game again?

I look for Stricker to get a Champions Tour primary sometime soon. The golfer they jokingly refer to as a "element-timer" who is "semi-retired" suggests signs of being the most dangerous participant they've seen in some time.
