UNBELIEVABLE DAY AT STRATHMORE

Megan started 6 shots back and must have listened to my advice. “Tomorrow you will be under no pressure having got herself into a challenging position and nothing to lose” and did she just do that by   the 7th she was tied for the lead with a 6 shot swing. On the 10th with a tremendous birdie she took a 2 shot lead, Carmen birdied 11 but bogeyed 12 and Megan’s adrenaline must have pumping on the 13th when she finished in the ditch behind the green and a 4 stroke swing took place when Carmen again birdied. Megan then hit her 2nd shot out of bounds on 14 and when Carmen birdied 15 to take a 4 shot lead it looked all over but Megan birdied 16 and gained another shot on 17 and got it back to 1 on the last. At the start of the tournament if I’d asked Megan if she would have settled for a 2nd place  I think she would have been delighted which she has confirmed but she was so close to pulling off one of the biggest comebacks of her short career. This will give Megan so much confidence going forward and she has also reduced her handicap to 1.
