*Michelle Wie described parts of her round as “unlucky.” The lucky part: The pre-made scoreboard here in the media room only has scores ranging from 67 to 79. If you worse than that (Wie and a few others), you don’t make it on the big board (despite the repeated urgings of a certain colleague). At least not yet.

*We saw two women smoking in the parking lot, but we are certain they were not players. So far, no players have been seen smoking, which has severely hampered the feature that was suggested.

*The Asian media throng is strong here, and for good reason: Koreans alone account for 32 golfers in this tournament, including the very impressive Ji Young Oh, who is the leader in the clubhouse at 6-under.

*If you didn’t think lunch could consist of soft shell chicken tacos and potato salad, think again.

*Underrated: Paula Creamer. She’s 2-under early and looking strong.

*Our media pass comes with a list of items one cannot bring on the course. One of those things is, “pets.”
