Did you see one of the names at 68 after the first round of the McDonald's LPGA Championship? Miss Aree Song, twin sister of Naree, checking in, for the first time in long time. She posted a good-looking four under card that included a bogey on the par-5 11th.

Talk about your blasts from the past! True, Aree is only 23, but she's been a brand-name golfer for a decade. Last year, fighting various maladies including burnout, she played in only seven events and made just two cuts. But you can't just come out of nowhere and shoot 68 on a demanding course like Bulle Rock without some serious talent, which she's always had. Aree Song doesn't have to win or even come close to winning to take her first big step back into mainstream women's golf. If she could play the next three rounds in par or better, that would be an important first step. In any event, I'll be eager to see what she does in Round 2 on Friday. She's bound too be nervous. On the plus side, she's only 23.
