If the cut this week stands at +3 as I expect, that means that many of the top sophs will miss it, including Julieta Granada, Kyeong Bae, Hye Jung Choi, Linda Wessberg, Na Ri Kim, Christi Cano, Ashley Hoagland--and maybe even Brittany Lang, Nina Reis, and Kimberly Hall, who are too close to it for comfort. Granada shouldn't feel too bad--Lincicome is definitely going to miss it, and Kerr, Petterson, Jang, and Matthew are fighting for their lives.
