Exciting elite 8 at women's match play ... now down to 4
Unlike the men's match play event, which rarely has all the top players advancing into the later rounds, the women's match play event has a terrific group still standing in the quarterfinals. Here are the on-going matches:
Lorena Ochoa
Sophie Gustafson
Michelle Wie
Brittany Lincicome
Karrie Webb
Paula Creamer
Annika Sorenstam
Juli Inkster
As of 2:30pm EDT, Ochoa and Creamer and Sorenstam are all 2 or 3 up, but Michelle Wie is 3 down with 8 to play. Live scoring here.
UPDATE: Ochoa v. Lincicome and Creamer v. Inkster will be the semifinal matches starting in the morning on Sunday.
The Sorenstam/Inkster match was great, going down to the last hole All Square. Inskter played amazingly down the stretch after being 2 down with 5 to play. She made birdies on four of the final five holes, just barely missed birdie on the other fifth, and drained a short putt for birdie to win on 18 after Annika's birdie put slid by moments earlier.
Based on her play today, I'd make Inkster the favorite tomorrow, though I'm alwasy rooting for the Pink Panther.

we saw some good golf...but that is not my topic..in todays new york post -phil mushnick talked about womens golf and their attire...i am sure -the thousands that watched pat hurst in the us open -especially on that monday -were amazed at her appearance...it seemed like the girl just rolled out of bed, put on a shirt ( untucked) didn't bother combing her hair,and her weight was made even more glaring on tv...i mean come on...the weight thing is 1 thing..the miami diet did not work for her...but the extra sloppy i don't care ( am married -so i can go to pot look) was disgusting...she needs a groomer,image consultant,and needs to spend a few weeks with natalie gulbis...in this day of sex sells -the lpga is trying to promote -its women...at least mrs. hurst can show up-with her face washed -and her shirt tucked in..was a sad sight to see..
