Looks Like Suzann Will Have to Wait

It's almost 1am ET here in North Carolina and I've been following the very last spherical of the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open on line. The leaderboard has been interesting -- a variety of movement each up and down.

Mainly down.

First, allow me solution the question that may be principal on your thoughts. To become #1 inside the Rolex this week and bypass Inbee Park, Suzann Pettersen needs certainly one of three things to appear:

1. She wins
2. She comes in second place
3. She ties second with one other player

As it stands, she's 7-over for the day after 14 holes. That puts her at -3 for the tournament... and the lead is currently at -11. If I had to bet, I'd say this isn't the week Suzann does it.

So... If not Suzann, who is gonna get it done?

Well, with 11 players within 2 strokes of the lead and all of them either at the again nine or finished, it's nonetheless anybody's wager.

Paula Creamer is the chief inside the clubhouse at -10 (she shot -four in the very last round). Originally I failed to assume that might be excellent enough but, as I said, this has been a very energetic leaderboard. The leaders at the moment are handiest one stroke beforehand of her... And no one appears to be shifting ahead anymore. In reality, within the remaining hour, Paula has usually moved up the leaderboard until she is now solo 0.33!

Given that the Pink Panther commenced the day T23, the situations should be hard at the Victoria Golf Club. I've browsed the rankings so far and discovered best two 68s (one is Paula's), 69s, and a big number of rankings over par.

Lydia Ko is presently at -nine after 14 holes ( 2 for the spherical).

Perhaps the surprise of the day is Karrie Webb. After signing an wrong scorecard closing week, she appears to be on a task and is now tied for the lead at -11. She's simplest got 1 extra hole left however her co-leader, Chella Choi, is 2 for the day.

Right now, I definitely like Karrie's possibilities.

Ah, make that three 68s. Karrie simply posted at -12, making her the clubhouse leader and -- until somebody receives hot -- the most possibly winner. It's overdue, so I'm going to shut the laptop down and head off to bed.

But no matter who wins, it will take a miracle for Suzann to take #1 from Inbee Park. Looks like she'll need to do it the hard way -- Inbee tees it up once more next week.
