Quotable	“Oh, just unbelievable. I said to my caddie, I'm not looking at the scoreboard until I need to. I was debating my shot into 18, and I said, ‘Beth, what's the score?’ and she said, ‘you have a six-shot lead.’ I said, okay, we're going for it. But I just stayed really calm all day, holed some really good putts, and can't quite believe it, to be honest.” -- Becky Morgan
