Former NFL linebacker Junior Seau continued to film a segment for his Versus show on tough sports jobs.
He worked Thursday as Natalie Gulbis’ caddie in the pro-am. Reports from the course were that he was popular with fans but fell behind in his duties at times. Also, the show “Little People, Big World” did some filming as star Amy Roloff took a tour of the facilities in preparation for a charity golf tournament she is organizing. At one point, Roloff and a small army of production people walked through the media center. After looking around, Roloff and an LPGA official walked out, then after cameras set up, walked back in as if they were entering the room for the first time. The official explained how reporters from different national publications were represented, including the New York Times and Sports Illustrated, neither of which has a reporter here. Meanwhile, the two local sports radio stations both had their flagship shows broadcast from Ghost Creek. On one end of the clubhouse, Isaac Ropp and Big Suke from The Fan did their show, and on the other end, Oregonian columnist John Canzano of The Game broadcast his “Bald-faced Truth Show. One of Canzano’s guests Roloff. Back and rested: She’s still the No. 1 player in women’s golf, but Lorena Ochoa has hit what for her is a lean stretch.

Right now I feel much better.” Ochoa used the three weeks since the Women’s British Open to rest and work on her game. She said she plans a full schedule the rest of the year as she makes one last run at keep her streak of three consecutive Player of Year awards going.
“I can’t wait to be playing every week and feel better with my game,” she said. “And then my goal is to finish a strong year and finish a good year.”
