OK, Wie Nation, here we go…
Teeing off from the back nine today…
WIE, Michelle…E…T8
PETTERSEN, Suzann…E…T8
GULBIS, Natalie…E…T8
Up first:
Hole 10...528yds par 5
Long hitters can reach the green on this par-5 in two if you cut the corner with your drive. The green slopes severely from back to front and right to left, leaving a difficult putt no matter where the hole is located.
Ok, michelle, let’s start this tournament like a star…a shooting star…Let’s cut the corner and go for an Eagle and Flyyyyyy
Go michelle go

suzann...birdie...-1...T3

missed the fairway...fairways hit 0 of 1

one putt...putts/gir 1...total putts 1
up next:
Hole 11...370yds par 4
Pot bunkers are scattered down the right side of the fairway on this straight par-4, so play to the left with your tee shot. A good drive will leave you with a middle iron to a green that is easily accessible.

suzann...266yds
natalie...232yds
up next:
Hole 12...400yds par 4
Hole No. 12 is probably the most difficult par-4 on the Senator because of two things: length and bunkers, and this hole has plenty of both! A great drive is needed to see around the dogleg or you will be left with a blind approach for your second.
Michelle, on this hole, you need to hit this fairway or you will have a blind approach shot to the green...

one putt...putts/gir 1...total putts 3
up next:
Hole 13...154yds par 3
Hole location determines how this par-3 should be played. When the pin is cut in the back, play to the middle of the green. However, you can be more aggressive with a front or middle hole location. Deep bunkers flank both sides of the green.
let's hit this green, michelle...

suzann...par...-1...T7
natalie...birdie...-1...T7
hit the green...gir 2 of 4
two putt...putts/gir 3...total putts 5
up next:
Hole 14...394yds par 4
Carry the bunkers and cut the corner of this dogleg right for extra roll and a shorter approach shot. If your drive does end up in a pot bunker there is plenty of bailout room to the front right side of the green to leave you with a chance to save par.
And, you know, michelle is going to fly this drive over the bunker

one putt...putts/gir 3...total putts 6
up next:
Hole 15...389yds par 4
A blind tee shot awaits you on this par-4 because the fairway drops sharply downhill after the 150 yard marker. The approach is severely uphill and the elevated green is protected by three pot bunkers.
Michelle, you're flirting again...let's start hitting some fairways and greens

up next:
Hole 16...147yds par 3
Proper club selection is vital on this difficult par-3. Three pot bunkers guard the severely sloping putting surface. Shots hit to the right of the green will find the hazard. Par is a great score...
Michelle, you need some birdie production...this is a short par 3...let's nail this pin

up next:
Hole 17...475yds par 5
A classic risk/reward hole, Hole No. 17 can make or break a round. The trouble on this par-5 comes from the precision it demands with each shot. A well-placed drive will leave you with the option of playing safe and laying up or going for the green in two with a shot that must carry a deep ravine.

natalie, dist. 232...243...Ave 237.5
up next:
Hole 18...369yds par 4
A perfect drive will leave you with a slightly uphill approach to a large, well-guarded green on the Senator's final hole. The elevated green slopes from back to front. Use the slopes to your advantage to set up a chance for a closing birdie
let's get a birdie, Michelle...Stacy is -4 thru 9 on the back nine...Alena Sharp is -5 thru 10 on the back nine

potts Right...
up next:
Hole 1...365yds par 4
Hole No. 1 on the Senator is a dogleg right par-4. Avoid the bunkers guarding both sides of the fairway to leave a mid- to short-iron to a very accessible green. Hole location will dictate how aggressive the approach shot can be played because trouble fronts the green.
A Good back nine, Michelle...let's pick up some birdies on the front nine

natalie...par...-3...6th
missed the fairway...fairways hit 4 of 8
hit the green...gir 7 of 10
two putt...putts/gir 13...total putts 16
up next:
Hole 2...163yds par 3
The need for a long iron or fairway wood off the tee makes the par-3 second hole more difficult. The front of the huge green is protected by three deep bunkers, and a ridge bisects the middle of the green, separating the front section from the back.
This must be the description from the men's tee
