She's great golfer. It will be interesting to see how she does against the men. Mikkelson is predicting a top 20 finish.

She'll do well to make the cut. No way top 20.

don't the women tee off from a different tee? put her on the men's tee off and she'll struggle to get a decent score.

Her short game is comparable though.. and i wouldn't bet against her finishing off the top 20.

:eek: apart from having to hit from there, she's going to really struggle on the greens.. i hope she does well though, it could affect the fans' image of the LPGA if she screws up.

I think that she may struggle on her approach shots. The ladies play a lot of bump and run. I'd like to see her do well too. She's not bad off the tee - she drives the ball an average of 265 yards, but she'll still be 40 yards behind after the drive.

if she tees off to about 250 on a par 4 475... she's really going to struggle.. it's going to be hard to stop the ball on the next hit if it hits the green..

o well.. all the best to annika anyway.. <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="[Devil]" />

I know the feeling. :( If she has to hit 225 on her second, she might not make the green, especially if she's hitting out of the rough - and this isn't the same type rough as the ladies' tour. Good luck to her though and I'm glad that she's trying!
