I'd add the 2006 Rookie of the Year to the carnage list: after a 33 on the front, she did 10 shots worse on the back. Yikes!

Given the role of luck (with the pot bunkers and the wind and all that goes with links golf), I expect half the people who went under par today to go high tomorrow and half the people who went high to get under par. This may be the kind of tournament where no lead is safe.
