ADT Championship: Everybody Hurts

Yeah, everyone not playing for that $1M first-prize tomorrow is hurting, but who's hurting the worst?


  • struggling Super Soph Morgan Pressel, who shot the low round of the tournament Friday but rattled off 3 bogeys over four holes mid-way through the back after spending most of the day at -1?
  • slumping Super Soph Ai Miyazato, who got it to -3 through 12 but made 3 bogeys and a double over her last 6 holes?
  • Solheim Cup star Juli Inkster, who was -4 through 12 but made 2 bogeys and a double to finish 1 shot out of a playoff for the last two spots in Sunday's field?
  • Solheim Cup newbie Nicole Castrale, who was -3 through 10 but +2 down the stretch, including a bogey on 18 that dropped her into the playoff--and bogeyed it again to miss out on Sunday play?
  • Solheim Cup veteran Sophie Gustafson, who was -4 through 16 holes, but fell into a playoff after doubling 17 and bogeying 18--and out of Sunday's field, thanks to another disaster on 17?


Well, at least we know who the two happiest people in the LPGA are tonight: Mi Hyun Kim, whose birdie on 18 in the playoff erased her +4 finish over her final 5 holes, and Christina Kim, who birdied 17 in regulation and 18 in the playoff to make up ground on and then pass everyone else who faltered down the stretch.
