The tournament is played at the Wildfire Golf Club in Phoenix, but is the tournament played on the Palmer course, Faldo course, or some combination of the two?  The Faldo course is more difficult IMHO.

I believe a combo of the two, but I am not sure.

Pretty amazing that MH Lee shot 27 on her first nine holes and -10 for the first day.  I did not find the course that easy!!  She seems to be struggling today so far.

I'm really hoping Stacy can break her dry spell. She puts way too much pressure on herself.
