FORT MYERS, Florida — Darkness started to creep in at The Forest Country Club as three golfers tried to grab a spot in the U.S. Women’s Open on Wednesday.
An hour earlier, Paula Reto, a South African on the LPGA Tour, had shined brightly, firing a pair of 6-under 66s in the 36-hole sectional qualifier to earn medalist honors.
“A little bit of a pressure to start the day, and it was kind of nice making putts early in the round, kind of kept me going, got me some confidence and I just kept on thinking ‘One more hole, one more hole,'” said Reto, who had her father as her caddie.
