I lost interest in the Wegmans LPGA event after Cheyenne Woods missed the cut and Michelle Wie posted a third-round 75 to take herself out of contention. Jiyai Shin went on to win by seven strokes, pushing her 2009 earnings over $1 million, and cementing her Rookie of the Year bid.

But Stacy Lewis and Morgan Pressel were three shots behind Shin, the tournament leader, heading into Sunday, only to card a 74 and 78, respectively.

After the round, Pressel fired up the Twitter machine: "Trying to dry out the water-logged golf bag. Will never understand why we didn't tee off earlier when they knew the weather."

As did Lewis: "Question of the day: Why didn't we tee off earlier?"

Hound Dog LPGA also has a few questions:

Cheyenne Woods, Tiger's niece and Wake Forest golfer, competed in her first LPGA event this week. She opened with a respectable 75 at the Wegmans LPGA, before carding a second-round 74 to miss the cut by four shots.

As Bacon wrote Thursday, Tiger didn't play the weekend in his first professional event as an amateur, either, shooting 72-75 at the then-Nissan Open in 1992. Things have since worked out for him.

Cheyenne hasn't dominated amateur golf like her uncle, but she's still been very successful. Via the New York Times, "she has won more than 30 amateur tournaments, and she was the second-lowest scorer for Wake Forest, which finished in a tie for 13th last month at the NCAA women's championships."

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) -- Tiger Woods' niece has missed the cut in her professional golf debut, shooting a 2-over 74 in the second round of the storm-disrupted Wegmans LPGA.

Cheyenne Woods finished at 5-over 149-four strokes above the cutline. The 18-year-old was in the event on a sponsor exemption.

Woods and 70 other players completed their second rounds at the Locust Hill course in suburban Rochester on Saturday morning after play was interrupted by thunderstorms for nearly five hours Friday.

Think back to 1992. The first George Bush was in office. "Aladdin" was the top-grossing movie in this whole new world, pulling in nearly $218 million dollars, and a scrawny, amateur golfer named Tiger Woods teed it up in his first ever PGA Tour event. Back then, the event was the Nissan Los Angeles Open, and Woods opened with at 1-over 72, eventually missing the cut at 5-over after following that up with a 75.

On Thursday, at the Wegmans LPGA, Cheyenne Woods, niece to Tiger, made her debut on the LPGA, shooting a 3-over 75 to tie for 119th.

Cheyenne Woods and Nick Montana better watch out, because we have a new family member to gush about.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you to Dylan Favre, the nephew of a guy by the name of Brett Favre, who is a junior quarterback at Bay Saint Louis (Miss.) St. Stanislaus and is breaking records like his crazzzzzy uncle.

Dylan has already set a state record with 48 touchdowns this season, including eight on the ground, and might be even more popular on the national recruiting trail were it not for his undersized build. Baby Favre is only 5-foot-10, 180 pounds and is only being lightly recruited by Ole Miss, Southern Miss, UCLA and Notre Dame, which have sent Dylan standard-issue letters.

While Drew Brees continues to break the size mold for NFL quarterbacks (he's listed at 6-foot but I've stood next to the man and he wouldn't be 6-foot on stilts), most quarterbacks these days are between 6-foot-2 and 6-foot-5. It's going to be hard to convince coaches to take a chance on a guy that is already at a disadvantage before ever touching a football.

Recruiting in NCAA women's golf hasn't quite reached the point where it drives the kind of frenzied message board speculation that football and basketball recruiting produce. But the women's golf team at Wake Forest has landed a big-name recruit who will have lots of golf fans talking.

The recruit is Cheyenne Woods, the daughter of Tiger Woods' half brother Earl Woods Jr. She's a two-time Arizona state high school champion, and she picked up golf from the same person who taught Tiger to play: The late Earl Woods Sr., Tiger's dad and Cheyenne's grandfather.

Cheyenne doesn't spend a lot of time with Tiger, but he has given her tips, and she says she knows that as her own golf career progresses, she'll be asked about him more often.
