Blog 137, 7/8/11 - Gebhardt Shoots Successive 82s in Colorado, Rawitzer closes with 78 at Sahalee
Gebhardt made a disastrous start to her second 18, opening with a double-bogey and following with three straight bogeys. She parred nine of her next 11 holes, but closed with two bogeys and a double at the last.
Glancing at the stats, it's not difficult to see which parts of Gebhardt's game let her down. She averaged a very impressive 286.8 yards off the tee during her two rounds, but found just 13 of 28 fairways - 46%. Because of that, she was able to hit just 50% of the greens in regulation and, despite being particularly happy with her putting heading into the event, struck a total of 73 putts, averaging 2.03 per hole.
