Greetings from NYC. We're here at the US Open as a
guest of Lexus watching Federer and Stepanek. I have never been here
and it's very exciting. We're going on a "behind the scenes" tour
after the first set. Then I am going to hit some balls on a side
court, which will be cool. We're off to Denmark tomorrow afternoon.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Hi,
Checking in from rainy Orlando. As you probably know, the hurricane season is here and we are getting a lot of rain. At the moment we are recovering from tropical storm Fay as well as keeping a close eye on Gustav. Our fingers are crossed hoping that mother nature will spare us all. This week has been on the quiet side. I have had a chance to be in the kitchen to do some home cooking. I went with a friend to look for a wedding dress today. I finally found one !! It's exciting, but so much to plan and organize. However, we have another four months to get ready for the BIG day...good night.
Annika is four under heading into the final round. You can watch two hours of action on ESPN2, follow the leaderboard (live scoring) and, as always, discuss the tournament in the comment section of this post.
Good morning from the Safeway Classic. We are starting early today due to television times. It has been a fun and busy week here in Portland and the fans here have been so supportive! Wednesday night Tom Maletis of the Tournament Golf Foundation, his wife Susan and our friend Dan Dutton hosted a dinner in honor of my Foundation. Around 25 people gathered at Tom's house and we had a lovely evening! Then the past two nights we've caught up with friends over late dinners and the next thing you know it's Sunday. Time sure does fly!
I played really well yesterday and had a chance to get in one of the last two groups today. An untimely three putt on 16 halted my momentum and left me at four under. I'll be playing aggressively today as I have to have a low one. Keep your fingers crossed and have a great Sunday!
Annika is even up heading into round two. You can watch two hours of action on ESPN2, follow the leaderboard (live scoring) and, as always, discuss the tournament in the comment section of this post.
The round began with a bang.
A series of them, actually. Thanks to the military jets that shot straight up into the sky directly over hole number one at the Safeway Classic. First we heard them, then we saw them and then they were gone; hurtling into the heavens at a seemingly impossible angle of ascent that appeared to be nearly perpendicular to the earth. It was a breathtaking sight to behold and there was some speculation amongst the fans that it was put on specifically for the benefit of the lady golfers although that was quickly dispelled in favor of the "we're not more than half a mile away from the Oregon Air National Guard and Portland International Airport so this is business as usual" theory.
Still, it was a great way to start the tournament.
This is webmaster Greg, reporting from Portland, Oregon, site of this week's Safeway Classic. Annika tees off at 9:16am. You can watch two hours of action on ESPN2, follow the leaderboard (live scoring) and, as always, discuss the tournament in the comment section of this post.
In addition, I'll be in the gallery for Friday's round. I'll try to do at least a couple of live updates from the course during the round plus I'll write a recap of the day's action and post it tomorrow night. So, if you'd like some additional perspective on Annika's round tomorrow, check in around 9:15am PST Friday and keep checking back through the day. Go Annika!

It's very late on Sunday night. We just arrived in Orlando. A quick visit home for a few days before heading back on tour. It will be nice to see my kitties, check on the house and change clothes. We have been on the road now for more than 4 weeks, playing in 4 tournaments in 4 different countries. I am so ready to be home, as they say "home sweet home". I think Nelson (pictured) is pleased too, because he is purring up a storm. Good night.
Annika is two under heading into today's final round. You can follow the action on the leaderboard (live scoring) and, as always, discuss in the comments section. Go Annika!
