FanHouse Christie Kerr

Did you see what happened Thursday in the first round of the U.S. Women's Open golf tournament?

Just kidding. No one saw. No one is watching. That's not new. The most amazing and interesting thing about the game has nothing to do with actual golf. Instead, it's how this entire sport in unraveling. Right now. On the first day of its most important event.

The LPGA tour commissioner, Carolyn Bivens, didn't even come to the tournament. Reports surfaced on Thursday that Bivens has accepted a buyout to step down. This after players drafted a letter demanding she resign.

Unless two female golfers end up fighting each other in a sand trap and clothes get ripped with the camera focused directly on the scuffle, there is no chance this tournament will get as much media attention as the Tiger Woods-Rocco Mediate show.

Nonetheless, it's the Women's U.S. Open and it starts tomorrow, with Lorena Ochoa seeking her first win at this event and Michelle Wie is, well, trying to live in the now?

"I feel like I'm re-emerging as a new player, a new person," Wie said. "I feel like I'm never, ever going to think about last year again. I'm not ever going to think about before I broke my wrist. That was then and this is now. I feel like from now on, I'm only going to think about now."

Obviously Wie is a huge story at any golf event (and the fact that she qualified has critics off her back), but the She-Tiger Ochoa is looking for her third major championship victory in an event she finished runner-up at last year to Christie Kerr.
