Bruce – what’s the scoop on Karrie? She can’t break 75 at the moment. Maybe she should retire as I doubt she can get back to the level she once played at. It can’t be satisfying for a Hall of Famer to be missing cuts or finishing 60th each week.

Hi Lizzie

Perhaps just a little harsh. She won in Australia, finished 5th in a very strong field in Singapore, third after a brilliant last round of 64 in Florida in her second last start. I know where you are coming from though.

She did only ok last year but won five times in 2006 after being in the wilderness for a while then so she might get fired up again.

She said a couple of weeks ago she was happy with the way she was hitting the ball but struggling with the putter. She is a bit of a big event player so we might get a better feel for where she is at in the majors coming up such as the LPGA, the US Open and the British Open.

These were her comments this week at a pre tournament press conference.

“Well, I’ve been swung at it well for probably the last—well, for the whole year, I felt like I’ve swung at it pretty well and just the two Top-5 finishes were weeks that I putted pretty decently. And on weeks I’m struggling to keep up with the low scores that are being shot out here, really I’ve got to get the putter to start working a little bit better and once that happens, I think it sort of flows to the rest of your game to the point where you swing at it better because you can swing at it more confidently and know that if you do miss a shot you’re going to get it up-and-down because you’ll make the putt for par.”

“I still have the desire. I still want to be as good as I can be. I know I’m not fulfilling my potential as a player right now. I know I can play better than what I’ve been playing. You know, there’s the desire to prove that to myself and to prove that to anyone who doesn’t believe that. So you know, it is a little bit different. I think I still work as hard on my game, but I just try not to be as hard on myself as I was in my 20s. I think that’s probably the only difference.”

“I guarantee you I have a few more chances of winning if I can get the putter working and seeing the ball go in the hole.”
