Leaders Looking Good
Had your correspondent been a betting man, he'd have wagered some of his hard-earned 'Caley Dosh' (local slang for Scottish money) on three under par leading at the end of the day. If I had taken the plunge, however, things would not be looking too good right now. Not only has the overnight leader, Lorena Ochoa, played the first seven holes in one under par — into an ever-strengthening wind — to be seven under the card, US Solheim Cup player Wendy Ward has made it to five under courtesy of a wind-assisted birdie at the long 14th.
Mention must also be made of the three birdies in succession from the third made by Beth Daniel. The veteran American is now two under par alongside Scotland's number one player, Catriona Matthew, who has made birdies at the second and sixth today.
Still, much can happen on the Old Course, especially in the bunkers, so those on three under — Annika Sorenstam, Uri Fudoh and Sherri Steinhauer — can still harbour hopes of a nice long lie in tomorrow morning.
