It's windy and getting windier, nippy and getting nippier, there's still a couple hours left of daylight, and Pat Hurst still leads a few holes into the back nine. And, oh, by the way, Michelle Wie is one stroke back. She's on 10 herself and drove into a downhill rough on the right, but she's in a bunch at six under. She's been a little inconsistent, but has hung in there, and was waiting when Hurst, coasting through most of the round, double-bogeyed the ninth hole to bring everyone back in range.

Meanwhile, nowhere near the leaders is ... Annika? Yup. She pulled a major gaffe on the second hole when she moved part of a divot away from her ball. It wasn't much on first look, but she definitely got caught (apparently by her threesome partner/onetime rival Karrie Webb, who needs all the help she can get so far) and was slapped with a two-stroke penalty. Without it, she would be at least close; instead, halfway through the round she was five back and scrambling. Also, don't hold your breath waiting for first-round leader Nicole Castrale.

The attendance today, with good weather: 29,800, nearly as much as the rain-soaked first two days combined. And a bonus for those who couldn't make it out today or tomorrow, the Golf Channel will carry today's round until conclusion, then start an hour and a half early Sunday, at 2:30 instead of 4.
