So she is out early today and is even thru 3 leaving her 1 stroke off the lead.
If she can get to the weekend at her current -3, I like her chances. The course is already playing tough and the USGA will make it even harder starting tomorrow. Announcers were guessing there may not be a player below par come Sundays finish.
Brooke hits it pretty straight though and that is an absolute must at Olympic. Her short stick let her down a couple times yesterday or she would have had the outright lead.
Shanshan Feng looks like she is dialed in and will be tough as is Brookes playing partner Lexi Thompson. Both have tied her at -3 thus far. Lydia Ko looked like she was gonna do what she does but had a really shaky back 9 yesterday and is +2 thru 4 already.
Great course and a great tourney.
