From the papers

The R&A

Since I'm playing golf again, I just want to show everyone that even if something happens in your life, everything is possible. I think I showed it today by winning this tournament.

The R&A

I tried not to leave space (in the score). Every time she was coming back, I was just trying to take the next hole.

The R&A

She had no mistakes at the end. I thought I had her for just a second if she just missed a couple of putts but she made like eight-footer, eight-footer and kept going.
