We grabbed that image of Michelle Wie as she was setting up to fire the second of her nine shots on No. 9. It’s not quite “inside the ropes,” but we weren’t quite sure we should be doing it (camera phone was on silent, so there was no click), which we offer as an explanation as to why it looks like a 3-year-old took it. And no, we didn’t jinx her. That second shot, a punch out from the rough and under some trees, was probably her best of the entire hole.

Line of the day: Talking to Patrick Reusse after Wie’s blow-up hole, we thought after watching she had only carded an 8. “No, I’m pretty sure they count all of the strokes here. Not like when you play.”

Indeed. It turned out we hadn’t seen a duffed chip.

Let’s go see about lunch, shall we? Regular RandBall readers: Stu’s Hunt Down is up next; RandBall special golf edition readers: something about golf is up next.
