ADT Championship - Day One

In her final LPGA event, Annika tees off at 11:36am EST.  She is paired with Yani Tseng.  You can watch the action on The Golf Channel from 2pm to 4pm EST and follow the leaderboard (live scoring) as well as discuss the tournament in the comment section.  Go Annika!!

For those who aren't sure about the format being employed for the ADT Championship, here is a day by day breakdown:

• Round 1: All 32 players compete in pairs of two.
• Round 2: All 32 players compete, re-paired in pairs of two with those with the highest scores from Round 1 starting earliest and those with the lowest scores starting latest in the day. At the end of the Round 2, the 16 players with the lowest cumulative scores from Rounds 1 and 2 continue to Round 3. The other 16 players are eliminated from the tournament. In the event of a tie a sudden-death playoff takes place.
• Round 3: The remaining 16 players compete in pairs of two. Scores are wiped clean for all players, however starting position is determined by the cumulative score from Rounds 1 and 2, with the players with the highest scores starting earliest in the day and the players with the lowest scores starting latest. The eight players with the lowest scores at the end of Round 3 advance to Round 4. If a tie exists, it is settled with a sudden-death playoff.
• Round 4: The remaining eight players compete in pairs of two. The players participate in a live draw where they pick which time slot they would like to play in with the first pick going to the low score and the final pick going to the high score. The player with the lowest score after Round 4 wins $1 million. As in previous rounds, ties are settled with a sudden-death playoff.
