WTG Hilary, I agree with you that this was no fluke because you were clutch all weekend. Add that you had to qualify just to play makes it even more amazing. I remember all of it as I watched the last 3 rounds. Great, awesome memory!!!!
I think it’s actually more of a fluke that she didn’t have a better career when you consider how great she played that week. Clutch final putt on the 90th hole to win. And to win after going through local and sectional qualifying is absolutely incredible! Arguably the greatest Cinderella story in all of professional golf.
I think calling her a hacker was exactly how a third-rate newspaper would like to perceive her victory in terms of selling newspapers. It's an amazing story and any win at that level of competition is never, ever a fluke. Fluke is you play one hole and beat a pro. Fluke is you trip over a rock and find a $100 bill underneath. Fluke is never playing an entire weekend of golf and beating some of the greats in regular contention each week.
Your a champion even if you didn't do it! Glad I found out about you and this wonderful story book ending !!

Was only a Minnesotan for a few years at the time, but remember being so so proud of you and Minnesota.

I remember watching this, she just played solid conservative golf and was dropping putts !
Awesome perspective! Dream Big!
I heard that Hilary had to make a long putt at the final hole of local qualifying to get to sectional.
Wow
