I couldn't find any stories on the Web yet about how she was doing in today's pro-am, but I did find this:

"At the Imperial Palace casino, you can get even money betting that Sorenstam will shoot a round in the 80s. On the other hand, if you think she will shoot a round in the 60s you can win $600 for every $100 you bet.

Other proposition bets include:

Sorenstam vs. Phil Mickelson: Oddsmakers at Caesars Palace give Mickelson 8 1/2 strokes against Sorenstam, and even then make him a slight favorite to beat her in the first round.

Holes above par: At the Palms hotel-casino, the over-under on number of holes Sorenstam plays over par in the first round is seven.

Holes under par: Also at the Palms, you can bet whether Sorenstam will make more than one birdie in her first round.

Highest score Sorenstam will make on a hole: At the Palms, the over-under is seven.

One matchup taken off the books was a proposition bet pitting Sorenstam against Vijay Singh. Oddsmakers figured Singh was seven shots better than Sorenstam in the first round, but he withdrew before the tournament began.
