Annika, Even; 13-year-old Dakoda, +2
This is a little mind-boggling to me: 13-year-old Dakoda Dowd, playing on a sponsor’s exemption (see here), managed to shoot an impressive 2-over 74, while world No. 1 Annika Sorenstam could only muster an even par round. Way to go, Dakoda! Hard to believe this teen phenom is 3 years younger than Michelle Wie. Boy, the talent level of these girls!
Of course, the inspiration for Dakoda’s play is her mom, who has terminal cancer and may only have a few more months to live. This is one sponsor’s exemption that no one can dispute. More here.
