A change of club on the seventeenth
Vincent had drawn level with two holes left. For her tee shot on the seventeenth, Zhong changed from her usual 9-iron to an 8-iron because of the wind. She put the ball fifteen feet from the hole and made the putt to win it. The players matched scores on the eighteenth, deciding the title.1
