Oh who put that "Retirement" clock at the top of the front page?! Annika hasn't been saying retirement... say until "Stepping Away"... just for me. I need to hold out hope that some day she will ride back in on her white horse and win a few more majors!

Anyway... I'm with ya tonight online, Big A, go REALLY low!

Annika,
Had been thinking off and on the past three years about what is perhaps one of the defining characteristics that has contributed to what is termed as ANNIKA Golf and for me, it is the fact the your "back 9" in any given tourny has pretty much been free of any collapses. Period.

We see that there now is a timer posted counting down until the "end" so may as well return to your roots and reputation our friend.

The payments in blood, sweat & tears that represents the body of work has long-sense been paid, so capture the reward that is an exclamation point!!

[Golf54deciple]

Dee,
I too mused over the countdown clock to "retirement"...and will hold my peace in this matter....

[Dee H.]

Yeah Golf54, I'm not too great at holding my peace... no biggy, just joking around really.

Go Annika!!!

Go Lotta!!!

[Golf54deciple]

Lotta tees off early this round and the Live Scoring is now "on" and refreshing regularly.

Go Lotta Girl!!!

[Golf54deciple]

Dee,
I'm holding my peace, but with an emotional lump in the throat to be honest...

[Dee H.]

Yeah 54, yeah... I know.

[Diane]

Another one shocked at that "r" word clock. Still hoping someday I will see the great one return with the grace she has shown us throughout her career. To bad we can't see her last tourney on TV. You go girl, I know you can do it. So many fans are cheering for you and wishing you the best.

[Dee H.]

Diane, you don't get the Golf Channel? It's on every day at 6:30pm Eastern.

[Dee H.]

Getting sleepy waiting for the Champ to start her round, might have to catch it when I wake up. I have confidence in you, Annika.

Go Lotta, hope to see you playing again tomorrow! You're doing great!

[Dee H.]

I could swear Annika should be -6 through 9, it looks like 2 eagles and 2 birdies in 9 holes! The score is so low I can't even read it! Or maybe because it's the middle of the night...

Heck of a front nine, Annika! Might as well just get another 59... I feel that is possible for you this week. I just feel it in my bones.

[Dee H.]

Oh my goodness, you changed the clock to Stepping Away! Oh how funny... that's great! :-) hahahahahaha

[Dee H.]

If anyone else is having trouble with the live scoring link, www.golfchannel.com has the leaderboard.

Annika's score of -5 on front nine was correct, I must have been seeing double or something. I need some sleep... She got another birdie, and now she shares the lead with Johanna Head at -8!

[Peg]

Good morning Dee,
Johanna Head double bogie on 5th hole.
Annika in lead by 2 shots.

[Dee H.]

Well, well... through 15, Annika is now alone in the lead, at -8 two ahead of anyone else.

[Dee H.]

Good Morning, Peg! I was feeling like the Lone Ranger here!

[Peg]

They didn't update scores 14 minutes.

[Peg]

Way to go Annika! You had no bogies the 2nd round. Leader 1 shot over Nikki Garrett.
Go Annika!!!!!

[Golf54deciple]

Annika,
It's rewarding to see you play the round consmensurte with your philosopy in golf.

ALL of yur birdies and EAGLE counted!! NO giving back anything to the field/course.

CONFIDENT,
decisive,
skillful!!

You've been putting the final touches on the first ANNIKA fragrence and you've said in an interview that you wanted the ladies who wear it to feel "confident".

Gosh I like that, apparently you have a pre-production vial in your golf bag!!

[Annika the Cat]

Hi Annika,

What a great way to start the day here in the USA with you on top of the Leaderboard. And Lotta is not too far behind. Looking forward to watching the play tonight - on what I have named for this week - the Thank God Channel.

Paws will be crossed for the same momentum on Day Three.

Sniffle less Champ.

Go Annika!!

AtC

[Golf54deciple]

Yes AtC we'll be seing both Sorenstams this week end on the broadcast.

Yahooo!!

[Lowell]

All the best. LMTE

[Buzz]

Well done, Annika. Terry must have been chanting from tee to green to relax you. What a magnificent team you two are, and have been. Continued success and good luck to you for round 3.

Okay, Lotta....time to kick it up a notch. Best of luck to you, too, in round 3.

[Golf54deciple]

Reminder:
This evening, we get to enjoy for our ladies for Round 2 broadcast on The Golf Channel at 6:30PM Eastern Std Time.

Then! For round 3 Live Scoring Lotta is paired with Gwladys Nocera and they tee of at 9:30AM Dubai time (That means wee hours for you & I).

Annika is paired with Nikki and they are the final round 3 group teeing off at 12:30PM

[Jeanette Jones]

Annika. You said after your first round interview that you thought you had "low round" in you. Well, watching the live scoring on the LET web was ANNIKA golf. I look forward to watching Golf Channel's coverage tonight and the final 2 rounds. All the best to you and your sister this weekend. All you need is 2 more "low rounds", one at the time. Go Annika!
