The LPGA is actually showing some initiative and created a page to follow Stacy's trek in Q-School (they also did one for Michelle Wie)... It can be found at: www.lpga.com/content_1.aspx?pid=18318&mid=1There's also a video blog, where she will review each day's activities. There's a pre-tourney video blog already up... Go Stacy! - Bert |

Not Hog-related, per se, but Audra Burks from Little Rock is at this Q-School trying to keep her card...

Stacy finished Day 1 at -3 and is sitting comfortably at T7 with more golfers still on the course... Nice start!

Stacy shot -6 on Day 2 (on the same course she won her NCAA Individual Championship) to put her at -9, one shot off the lead (behind Shiho Oyama and Some Person Named Wie  ... Barring a complete collapse, she's in great shape... Cut to Top 70 is after 72 holes, with 90 holes being the complete tournament... Go Stacy! - Bert |

Today Stacy is paired with Oyama and Wie... That would be an awesome group to follow! They should have stroke-by-stroke / hole-by-hole details of that group posted at: www.lpga.com/content_1.aspx?pid=18366&mid=1Gp Stacy! - Bert |

Stacy shot -1 for the day and it still tied for third... In reading the detailed account of her round at the LPGA site above, I lost count of the times I saw Stacy had a "tap in for par"... Man, lots of birdies left out there today...
Still, she's in great shape for the weekend!
Audra Burks also shot -1 for the day and is sitting in a tie for 15th...

Three straight birdies shows Wie's resilience at Q-school
Stacy Lewis doesn't quite know what all the fuss is about.
The 2008 NCAA Women's Champion out of the University of Arkansas played 18 with Michelle Wie on Friday in Q-school and noticed a couple of things: first, the crowd size was "a little crazy." And second, "She's a good player, but not much better than everyone else."
Now before Don King appears with the steel cage, Lewis didn't make her comments with even a smidgeon of spite. She joked with Wie throughout the round, and praised her afterward. Lewis simply sees 150 or so people lining up along the fairways to watch a fairly-long hitter try to get her LPGA Tour card and, well, "from a player's side," she says, "I don't understand it."

Way to go, Stacy!
I think Wie's just like some players in other sports, where you've seen them dominate at younger ages, but have everyone catch up with them around high school or college age... She's one heck of a golfer, but I don't think she's "all that"... If so, she'd already have an LPGA win under her belt...
