up next:
Hole 3...364yds par 4
The short par-4 third hole requires an accurate tee shot to avoid fairway bunkers dotting the right side of the hole. A good drive will leave a short iron approach to a tiered green protected in front by bunkers. The double green is shared with Hole No. 7.

suzann...par...-2...T11

up next:
Hole 4...363yds par 4
You need to carry a pot bunker that sits in the middle of the fairway with your drive on the par-4 fourth hole. The approach shot is downhill to a green surrounded by bunkers. The back-right portion of the green is sloped downhill and can be used to funnel the ball close if the pin is cut there.

Ok, michelle, let's settle for par on this hole and get ready for birdie alley...holes 5 thru 9
michelle, working 5 to 9... working hard from 5 to 9...We get up early...

two putt...putts/gir 19...total putts 22
up next:
Hole 5...569yds par 5
The first par-5 on the Senator is one of the longest and most difficult holes on the Trail. At 681 yards from the tips, three well-struck shots are needed to find the green in regulation. The green is perched well above the fairway and falls away on all sides.

don't, pay attention to the 681 michelle...it's time to go to work...this is birdie alley

two putt...putts/gir 21...total putts 24
up next:
Hole 6...349yds par 4
Squeeze your tee shot in between bunkers from an elevated tee on the par-4 sixth hole. The tiered green is angled away from the fairway meaning the hole plays more difficult the further back the flag is cut.

two putt...putts/gir 23...total putts 26
up next:
Hole 7...167yds par 3
It is wise to take extra club off the tee on the par-3 seventh hole because the green sits high above the fairway and any shot that comes up short will leave a tough chip to save par. A ridge runs through the middle of the green so knock it close to avoid a difficult putt.

hole seven...167yd par 3...Par...-1...T24
suzann...bogey...E...T44
natalie...par...-3...T12

two putt...putts/gir 25...total putts 28
up next:
Hole 8...496yds par 5
Depending on the wind, the two pot bunkers on the right can sometimes be carried off the tee. Make sure your second shot clears a bunker in the middle of the fairway and you should be left with a great chance for birdie.

A great chance for birdie, michelle, a great chance for birdie

up next:
Hole 9...376yds par 4
A daring drive can leave you with a wedge for your approach. It could also leave you in a fairway bunker or, worse, the high, thick grass the Senator course is famous for. If the pin is cut in the back of the green you can use a severe slope to funnel the ball close to the cup.

Ok, michelle, let's funnel the ball close to the cup and get a birdie on this last hole

Hello Wie Nation:

Wow…Did I sleep this afternoon…Caught the second hour of the TV coverage…
Michelle, along with Stacy, Suzann, and Natalie were advertised to be covered on TV tomorrow…
No three putt bogeys…
No two putt birdies…this is sweet and sour??
Michelle’s bogey production is down…I have to think,,,,, fairly good putting…
Total putts…31...1.72 putts/hole
Michelle’s birdie production is not up…I have to think it’s because of this, “Fairways hit…5 of 10...50%”, on the Par 4’s…Michelle could only attack the pin 50% of the time…The other 50%, Michelle is scrambling for Par…
Michelle did an good job of scrambling on the par 4’s…only one bogey in four missed greens on the par 4’s…
Right now, -1 is the projected cut…
I think, -4, -5 is the legit leader board; and Michelle is only 4 back…

Michelle has another round of golf under Par…
