LPGA Tour professional Morgan Pressel defeated Sophie Gustafson today during the second round of the Sybase Match Play Championship. Pressel used six birdies to Gustafson’s 5 to defeat her on the 19th hole of match-play competition. “She gave me a little bit of a gift on 13,” said Pressel. “But then I went two down again on 14, so I was in a bit of a hole and managed to pull it out… it was crazy. It’s exhausting to play that many holes… I was nervous. Tomorrow, no extra holes.”
In response to a question from the media about the state of the LPGA – “Our biggest thing is to get people out and get the sponsors involved, because once the sponsor plays in the pro-am or once a little kid comes out to watch, they’ve got memories for a lifetime, and I was that little kid and it inspired me tremendously and I was a very big fan of the LPGA,” said Pressel.
