What happened at the 2004 Weetabix Women's British Open
Stupples opened her final round eagle-albatross on the first two holes (an eagle at the 1st after a 5-iron to 12-15 feet, then an albatross at the 2nd) to go five under for the day on her way to a closing 64, the lowest final round by a champion.
Finland's 19-year-old Minea Blomqvist shot a third-round 62, at the time the lowest score in a major championship.
