Scoring at the Stanford

As you follow the leaderboard at lpga.com the next couple of days (I'm sure you leave it up in the background and check it every five minutes like I do), it may become more disorienting than usual.

The two courses they are playing on play to different pars - the Soffer Course plays to par of 71 while the Miller Course (which will only be utilized during the first two rounds) is par-70. After Friday's round is completed, everyone's score will equalize (a total of 141 will be even par). Until then, you'll see stuff like two players posting a 68 and one of them being listed as one shot ahead of the other.


Oh, the things I concern myself with...

But no blogger concerns themselves with such LPGA details better than Hound Dog.
