TCU wins the consolation match

TCU ne s'est pas qualifie pour jouer le titre, elles ont joue pour la 9eme place.
Pendant les qualifications, Valentine a fait 77-76. Le premier tour se passait bien jusqu'au 2eme coup du 18 ou Valentine s'est mis dans l'eau et a fait 9 sur le trou. Sur le 2eme tour elle a fait beaucoup de birdie mais trop de bogey pour scorer.
Pendant les match-play, Valentine a gagne ses 3 matchs. Valentine m'a dit que son jeu ete proche d'etre tres bon. Ses mises en jeu sont tres bonne, pendant ses match plays ses fers ont ete precis.
TCU est au repos leur prochain tournoi est celui de l'universite de New Mexico. Pendant ce repos Valentine en profite pour travailler son entrainement physique avec Coach J et sa technique avec son entraineur Mike Wright.

TCU failed to qualify for the Championship flight and played for the 9th place.
Valentine shot 77-76 in qualifying. She was even par after 17 holes the first round and had a 9 on 18! The second round she had a lot of birdies but was still making mistakes which did not allow her to shoot a low score.
During the match plays she won her 3 matches. Valentine said that her game was coming around. She is driving the ball very well and her iron game was very good during the match-plays.
TCU is home before heading to the University of New Mexico Tournament. In between tournaments Valentine works on her fitness with Coach J and on her technique with Mike Wright.
