DALY CITY, Calif. – Azahara Munoz continues to find the game and confidence that made her an LPGA winner, Solheim Cup stalwart and NCAA individual champion.
With a 3-under 69 Thursday, she moved into early contention at the Mediheal Championship, two shots off the lead.
Munoz, who endured hard times working through hand surgery and a thyroid malady the last few years, has already recorded four finishes of T-6 or better this season.
She was sharp again Thursday, hitting all but two fairways and all but three greens in regulation.
“Even my caddie thought it was the best golf I’ve played in I don’t know how long,” Munoz said.
