Tardy had the halfway lead at the U.S. Women’s Open last year, but said she was “extremely nervous there.”This time could be different as she chases her first LPGA Tour victory.“I had a lot of my family and friends watching so I don’t know if that added pressure,” she said. “But I definitely wanted to play well and have them be proud of me.“Coming here I’m just by myself, my caddie and I guess a little less nervous.”Ko has won 20 times on the LPGA Tour.“I played really solid. Didn’t put myself in that many odd places, and I feel like you can do that 토토사이트 quite easily around here. Hopefully more of that tomorrow,” she said.
