They played awesome today! When the score you throw out is better than two-thirds of the field and you have 4 of the top 11 scores, you've outplayed the entire field. The greens were as fast as I've ever seen them - running at least 11 in the morning and higher in the afternoon as the sun came out and the heat came up. Tomorrow will be a couple degrees cooler but I expect them to be at least as fast tomorrow. Also some really challenging pin placements on the holes I saw.
But it's only day one. There is a large cluster of teams between +2 and +7, more than half of whom will not make the cut for the final round. Tomorrow is moving day will be interesting to see who moves and in which direction
Another highlight - from my other alma mater - Northwestern's Irene Kim got a hole-in-one on #3. She's tied for the lead with Sadie Englemann and Oklahoma St's Maja Stark.
