Good morning everyone. It is Saturday and I am just about to go warm up for the third round. Yesterday, I played well and got to seven under, but then gave a few shots back coming in. I was very annoyed as I made some silly mistakes. However, I am still confident in my game and I’m striking it well.
Last night, we had a dinner in honor of Lorena’s Foundation at the hotel. The crowd was nice and the music and food were fantastic. They had a big cake and we all sang Happy Birthday to her as today is her birthday…..so I want to wish her a happy one.
Today’s a new day and I need to fire a good one in order to get right back in the mix. Keep your fingers crossed!
You betcha, Annika, I'll be crossing everything for you since you asked!
Looks like you're doing great with one birdie, and those in front of you look like they're starting to come back to you. A good trend! Go LOWWW, Champ!

And Happy Birthday to Lorena! I wish her a great day on the course, but not as great as yours, Annika!

Just finished watching the tournament and you shot a wonerful 68 today!!! Your composure and patience in hitting the right shots when you needed them were amazing. Good birdie finish on 18 too. Tomorrow you are in the final group so go low again and use your experience to take home the win!!! Can't wait to watch! Also love Donald Trump's ad featuring you!

5 under today including a par 5 Eagle! Fabulous day, Champ! Final pairing, only 1 off the solo leader by yourself, and you are on a roll that noone else is matching. Thank you, Annika, for such an exciting day! :-)

I loved your reaction to your approach shot on 18! You ran up to see what got the reaction out of the crowd, and the ball had spun back to maybe 15 inches. What fun! And what a shot! And here's my most fervent wishes for you to win tomorrow, knock em dead tiger...er, I mean ANNIKA!

You tell us, but sure looked like you were DETERMINED for that Callaway 59 to do some clanging at the bottom of the hole.
There were some confident early walks so you seemed to KNOW that you flat out were making some putts and this time they weren't sliding left nor right (except for that one buzzard that whipped around the cup on the 11th). Auh well . . .
STAY comfortable with your game, and keep hitting "golf shots"!!

Any time, Champ! :-)

Didn't mean to confuse with the comment about the emergence of golf in Mexico. Looking at the course it seems a bit easier to read in some places than others. Not as surprised as impressed with the course designer. Trust study the matter a bit careful will solve any problems. Toast? 98 Cava with the Open span poignancy. All the best!

Wow That was a great round today. I am hoping to see you get your next win tomorrow. Go low, Annika, our days are numbered to get to see you in competition----and we will miss you so much.
