Michelle Wie's still smiling. We'll be back tomorrow

Michelle Wie, who rebounded from her double-bogey on number 17 to shoot par for the rest of the day, just told the media that she's going to return for tomorrow's 36 holes and: "not going to take it too seriously."

You have to believe that the 16-year-old star -- who speaks much too quickly for anyone to honestly write down her words with precision -- will do just as she says. When asked about hole 17, she laughed before explaining what, in her view, had happened. When someone commented that she had only 13 hours to rest before beginning tomorrow's marathon, Wie looked surprised and said: "Thirteen hours? God, I better go home quick."

Wie, 19-year-old Jane Park and 21-year-old Shi Hyun Ahn will represent the next generation's challenge to the thirtysomethings Sorenstam and Hurst tomorrow. We'll see if it's youth or experience that will be served.

Thanks for being with us today. We'll sign on tomorrow again around noon, and we'll stay with you until after a champion is crowned. Good night once again.
