First, like everyone else in the golf community, I'm praying for Phil and Amy Mickelson. I've gotten to know Phil a bit through our mutual association with Butch Harmon, and I can't think of a more generous soul in the game. I can tell you that at last week's LPGA event, that's all anybody wanted to talk about. Every day, when I see Butch at the practice facility in Vegas, I'm hoping to hear some good news about Amy. We all are.

In a couple of weeks, I'm playing with Peter Jacobsen in the CVS Classic, the tournament run by Brad Faxon and Billy Andrade. Peter and I have decided to wear pink in honor of Amy, and in support of breast cancer research.

As for my game, I couldn't be more excited. I've compiled top 15s three weeks in a row, and I truly believe this is only the beginning. Of course, there's a lot more work to do. As well as I played, I made just enough unnecessary mistakes to cost me any chance of really contending. I'm going to fix that, and fast. The bulk of our schedule is coming up, highlighted by the U.S. Women's Open in early July.

This is a big year for me, and other LPGA players from the U.S. It's a Solheim Cup year, and I badly want to make the team again. I've been on a couple of teams, and there is no more meaningful experience in the game. Already, we've gotten fitted for our clothes, and held team meetings. After all that, it sure would be a shame to miss the team. My play over the last few weeks has elevated me to No. 8 in the standings, but I'm far from secure. A lot of players can move up in the next few months.

Anyway, so long for now.

And please pray for Phil and Amy, and their family.
