Golf Confessions

Jason Bohn followed his first round 68 with a 67 (135)to lead Anthony Kim by two shots going into the final 36 holes.  Jason finds himself 7 shots ahead of Phil Mickelson the top ranked player in the filed.  Phil was going along at 6 under par until he experienced tree problems on a par five and took a double bogey, then on the par 4 final hole Phil hit a bad short iron from the fairway and again took a double.

Jason will be hotly pursued by Kim who the media has projected as winner very soon on the PGA.  Also in pursuit will be Jim Furyk(138), Camilo Villegas(139), Geoff Ogilvy and Vijay Singh at(140).

The Quail Hollow club in Charlotte, N. C. is once again proving to be a challege.  The weekend should have an exciting finish.   

Ochoa has more than the wind to battle in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.  Lorena finds herself six behind leader Paula Creamer going into the weekend.  This six shot deficit has 19 players ahead of Ochoa.  The wind has been tough on the field that finds only Creamer below par for the first two rounds. 

The Cedar Ridge course with it’s gusty winds yielded no birdies for Lorena in the second round.  Lorena has averaged  5.39 birdies per round this season. 

Second in the women’s world ranking Annika Sorenstam is not competing this week.

Toms has suffered with his game for the last couple of years.  David has had some medical issues that has slowed him recently.  With the medical issues David has not been able to put in the practice time that it takes to stay on top of his game.  Toms was the first champion at the Wachovia, played at the very tough Quail Hollow club, and finds himself with a one stroke lead going into the second round of play.

The pros like the layout and it should be a good preparation for next week’s Player’s Championship in Ponte Vedra, Fl.

Phil Mickelson is right on the heels of Toms.  Vijay Singh did not finish well the last four holes but finds himself at two under par starting the second round.  Sergio Garcia had some bright moments when he sunk two long putts.  Sergio continues to struggle on the greens and has been switching back and forth with different putters and grips. 

After taking a week off Lorena Ochoa will once again be trying to set another record.  With a win this week Lorena will tie Annika Sorenstam and Nancy Lopez with five in a row.  Lorena will go after this record in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma at the Sem-Group Championship played at Cedar Ridge.

Ochoa has dominated the 2008 LPGA season with five out of six victories and with a combined winning margin of 37 shots.
