Pfeifer, who was hurt by an IED explosion while on patrol in Iraq in 2007, is the sentimental favourite of the large galleries at the 25th anniversary event. "I hit the ball really strong," Roenick said after the rain-delayed finish. "I wanted to make sure I didnt make anyy mistakes.dddddddddddd I had a short three-putt, unfortunately, but besides that, I hit the ball exactly where I want to hit it." Roenick, Rypien and Pfeifer are in the final group on Sunday. The second-to-last group will have Sorenstam, Wagner and Trent Dilfer, who is in sixth place with 41 points.

"Its truly spectacular to watch Chad Pfeifer strike the ball," Roenick continued about the fan favourite. "Theres no handicap in Chad. This guy is a true blue competitor." Sorenstam played more aggressively on Saturday and plans to come out strong Sunday. "I felt a lot better today, just standing on the first tee, I didnt feel as tight and as nervous," she said. "But the front nine, I must say it was probably one of the worst putting displays that I can recall, certainly the last six years." ' ' '
