It is early Saturday morning and here is my summary of where play is at going into moving day and what I will be watching for, including our Canucks..
EUROPEAN TOUR
Round three is underway at the Trophee Hassan II in Morocco and by my count there are 22 players within 3 shots of the lead held by Welshman Rhys Davies and Holland's Joost Luiten at -6
Darren Clarke moved into contention with his -5 65 and Micheal Campbell who I featured yesterday shot E 71 and is T17 in that large group at -3..

LPGA TOUR
Alena Sharp 71 73 E is T23 and Stephanie Sherlock 73 75 +4 T59.. Both made the cut which fell at +5
Stacy Lewis handled the 100 degree heat, fast crusty greens and the traditional thick rough of the Dinah Shore course at the Kraft Nabisco in searing Rancho Mirage with a -3 69 for a 3 shot lead at -9 over Yani Tseng (68) -6, Brittany Lincicome (72)-6 and Jane Park (70) -6
Michel Wie is back in contention (67) -3 after beaning a little girl with a wayward shot off the 1st tee and Sandra Gal (74) last week's winner slipped to T8 as she suffered with a migraine headache in the heat..
The weather for the weekend is due to cool off with a breeze expected to pick up...

CHAMPIONS TOUR
Jim Rutledge is T38 E 72 and Rod Spittle T62 after his +4 76 in a very tough field as always at the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic in Bioxi Miss. It took a course record-6 66 by Jeff Sluman to get a 1 shot lead over Open Champion Tom Lehman who says he will play about 18 of the 24 Champions tour events and 5 on the PGA tour... Mark Brooks who won the PGA Championship at Valhalla in 1996 is making his Champions tour debut. He is at -2 70 T13

Chris Baryla contacted me yesterday and I am expecting his Masters preview and an analysis of his game so far any time now and I will post it as soon as I get it.
10 or 11C today and while the ground is still soft and squelchy it is that time for many of us to stop the clubs from rattling in the garage and start our 2011 golf season.. There are several courses like Winchester open today, but my advice is to call first as it is still around 0 this morning, so there is frost in the ground.
Full report on today's action early this evening..
