The Associated Press reported that Annika Sorenstam lost. Jeong Jang and Candie Kung beat Annika Sorenstam and Angela Stanford, 3 and 2, to help Asia split the six opening alternate-shot matches in the Lexus Cup in Singapore. The Lexus Cup is Sorenstam’s final L.P.G.A.-sanctioned event before she retires. The International teams of Cristie Kerr and Karen Stupples; Paula Creamer and Nicole Castrale; and Katherine Hull and Nikki Campbell won their matches. Tim Clark of South Africa shot a two-under-par 70 to take a one-stroke lead after two rounds of the Australian Masters in Melbourne. Clark had a two-round total of seven-under 137, a stroke ahead of the Australian Anthony Summers, who shot a 68. John Daly missed the cut at five over.

Hi, everyone and happy Tuesday!

Okay, apparently we had some conflicting information in regards to our answer to yesterday’s question. So, even though 80% of the entries we received had the correct answer, just to be fair we’ll give everyone who played yesterday credit for a correct answer. Also, keep in mind that sometimes it takes several weeks before that entry appears on your stats.

Our prize on yesterday’s show was a TaylorMade Burner Rescue utility wood
, and our first winner of the week was Tom Ward of Eugene, Oregon. Congratulations, Tom, and to claim this TaylorMade club, just send an e-mail to me at keri@golfnow.com within the next 30 days.

Okay, that’s it for today. Have a great Tuesday! - Keri
