Gal leads, Alena Sharp in contention at the Avnet in Mobile

While President Obama toured devastated Alabama, the girls continued to play in perfect conditions on the Crossing Course at the Avnet LPGA Classic in Mobile

While long legged German Sandra 'whata' Gal 70 67 137 leads, the pack of 14 including Hamilton's Alena Sharp 72 69 141 are all within 4 shots.

Gal is quite a story, born in Germany, an only child, taught to golf by her Dad, eventually made the German national team, and there aren't many women playing golf in Germany, became good enough to get a scholarship to university in Florida where her game and her personality really blossomed. She is nearly 6 feet tall, features her long legs in short tight skirts, and as I said has a game to match her looks..
