And then, she said she was a woman of her word. Maybe you have seen it too. For about two and a half hours in the last nine, her pride was as abundant as the beers of the polluted cow here.

3:27 Afternoon Local Time: At 10, Stark’s bullet was shrunk to one. At 3:38, there was climbing in a shaky thought. there It was pride. As she read a blow to the birds, she did what it looked like a Bowling move with her hand, seemingly imitating what the ball would look like traveling to the hole. The placement has been a late bug-a-boo for him; She said her coach, Joe Hallett, said she tends to look at the hole early. At 3:41, she made an abbreviation and pumped fist.

3:54: On the 11th, she led three behind a bird and a bogey cord. A Greenside leader told the result. Keep that thought, please.

4:13: there was climbing a routine. there It was pride. To the right of the Tee box in the 13th par-3, some ice cubes were pulled into the nearby coolant. Partner Julia Lopez Ramirez It was sprinkled. Stark was cute. Iron in green. At 4:22 am, you can hear the drones of TV buzzing high. No matter. Strict fare. Before, Korda Birded and the strict bullet was two again.

4:31: That was smart. Six days ago, Solheim Solheim Cup teammate Gemma Dryburgh spoke about the beauty of the PAR -5 14. In the second shot, you can play a right stroke of a tumulus about 100 yards less than green in an attempt to reduce the yard – but the best in green was actually simply going with the slightly longer left option. Stark, a longer hitter, went straight. That bird. Up to three.

4:45: That was interesting. Jim “Bones” MackayA long caddy who was now conducting the broadcasting course analysis, walked up and asked if Stark had looked at the leaders’ tables. It didn’t seem to have – and Mackay looked down to check if she would read a 14th green left. It doesn’t.

More shaky thoughts. “During the days of practice,” she said. “I realized that if I just climbed the club on the ground just before I hit, I let go of my body. I think that simply doing my processes well and knowing, giving myself small things like that was the key this week because I don’t really think – I really don’t want to rely on my faith in things.”

4:56: The correspondent slipped a hill. No one saw it. 5:07: The correspondent forced a young man who wished a top five along the ropes. His day became.

The details will be spared, besides the following: to spend time, Stark heard her cadad, Jeff Brighton, joke. Care to divide, yeast? “I don’t remember now. He will make like some holes I will say a joke or a story, and it’s great because it makes me focus on what he is saying rather than how I feel and stuff. I don’t know now.” Hmm. What did you say, Jeff? “Just just sell. I want to say, I just waffle. Just try to get your head out of sight, oh, gosh. I would say the top is a pretty intense player. You know, she tries really hard. She’s really competitive.

5:53: Up three in the 72nd hole, Stark decided for Bogey from 13 inches away. Here routine. Here Pride for the latest time. She wiped the face of her vase before she came, a left as Brooks Koepka, who won an open wreath on this course eight years ago. Stark was then a winner.
