If I had to play that same course four days in a row, I probably couldn't average 85. Not to say that I am a scratch player, at the time I think I was playing to a 9.9, but looking at how well you would have to place your tee shots and how precisely you would have to hit your irons for 4 days in a row, it made me appreciate just how good these women are.

Perhaps the middle of the pack on the Nationwide tour could compete successfully with the women week after week, but I don't think a scratch golfer could do it over time. It's not all about length, if it was then a lot of guys on the Nationwide would be in the top 10 on the big tour.

A "middle of the pack on the Nationwide tour"???? Those guys would demolish the LPGA. They're +3, +4 from 7200 yards. On a 6300 yard course those guys wouldn't need any club longer than a 5-iron. Imagine being great at your shot game AND being able to carry 6 wedges.

Lots of "experts" have weighed in that the N'Wide is a stronger tour than the European Tour. Even if that is not the case, any tour that has a strong enough field to be compared to the European Tour would win every event Ochoa wasn't in.
