Nice comeback after shooting 76 in Round 1.

Ai made a good run, came up a little short in points, only .12 on average.
Cristie 10.45 Ai 10.33

Neither Ai or Cristie are playing this week but Jiyai is. I wonder, if Jiyai wins this week are there enough points available in the Jamie Farr for Jiyai to bump Cristie off as number one?

My question is: In a 4 rounds tournament, when a player shoots 62 in the first round, pars both 2nd and 3rd rounds, then shoots 80 in the last round, she is a looser or a disgrace...

But...

If she shoots 80 in the first round, pars both 2nd and 3rd rounds and shoots62 in the final round, she is a hero and hailed as a nice come back?

That's the same result, is it?

Is this where the saying..."When I am right no one remembers and when I am wrong no one forgets" apply?

Funny isn't it. Everyone loves a comeback and someone who digs themselves out of a hole. Especially in America, I've heard, we love tales of redemption even if the entire story takes place in four days on a golf course. On the other hand, no one applauds someone who slides backward.
