[Update 1 (7:24 am): So In-Kyung Kim is popular in Asia, Europe (where she was named an Evian Masters ambassador this season), and now the Middle East. When will the U.S. catch up to the rest of the world?]

[Update 2 (10:36 am): I updated the leaderboard above--the cut line moved from +2 to +3, saving Garrett and Reis. I wonder what happened to Hjorth on 18! Costly triple.]
