ADT Championship – Friday update
As the last groups get underway in Round Two at 11:40 EST, there has already been some movement across the magic cut line of 16th place. Jeong Jang, Angela Stanford, Karrie Webb and Angela Park started at +1 and have all crossed over to the bright side - Jang is -3 T2, Stanford is -2 T7 while Webb and Park are -1 T11. Yani Tseng, Candie Kung and Jee Young Lee each took early bogeys, falling back to +1 T17 while Morgan Pressel took double at 2 to fall to +2 T22. Right now the line to make it to Saturday is at -1 with 16 players under par and 16 above it.
Cristie Kerr went out alone and was unable to make up any ground - through 12 holes she is +6, just as she began the day. Lorena Ochoa also isn't closing in - she's still +3 after 9. Annika Sorenstam continues to slip - through 8 she is +2 on the day and +4 overall.
1:30pm update - Sun Young Yoo has moved up to even par T12 (with Pettersen) with three birdies on the front. She has three more holes to negotiate and hold onto her Saturday slot. Five players are tied for 14th at +1 - Webb, Helen Alfredsson, Na Yeon Choi, Maria Hjorth and Karen Stupples. Kung and Pressel are one shot back of these five while Ji Young Oh is two back. Kerr is finished (and out) and Ochoa has joined her at +5 after a double-bogey at 17 (another water disaster?). Sorenstam is also +5 with only two to play. Tseng is +4 with six remaining.
Comments
Sorenstam, Ochoa, Kerr, Pressel, all gone for the weekend. Karrie Webb in trouble. 8 South Korean born players in the top 16, 2 Korean-Americans in the top 16. The golf media’s worst nightmare. At least they have the Pink Panther.

There's one American story left
If Paula rallies to win, then she wins the money list. I still think Shin takes this thing.

but how about the collapses by (almost) all?!
Well, Stanford and Hull avoided them. That makes as many Australians as white Americans playing tomorrow, what with Karrie hanging on somehow.

Note that 3 Junior Mints, 3 Super Sophs, and no rookies made it. For awhile there, it looked like the youth movement would run the table on the vets and mid-career people, but collapses by Pressel, Oh, Tseng, and Choi nixed that….

The South of the border factor
Says Angela Park will win Sunday. Ochoa was born in Mexico, Granada in Paraguay, Park in Brazil. If only Natalie Gulbis was around on Sunday and got paired with Angela. Then we’d know it was a lock.
