Lizette Salas knows she has what it takes to make a Sunday charge at the AIG Women’s Open.
Salas knows because she’s done it before.
Two years ago, Salas rallied from four strokes back to give herself a putt to win on the 72nd hole at Woburn Golf Club. But Salas’ birdie bid slid by and opened the door for Hinako Shibuno to snatch the major title. Salas settled for a second-place showing for her best finish in a major championship. It was a valuable learning experience, just like the one she had two months ago at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, where she held a share of the 54-hole lead with Nelly Korda before Korda pulled away with a three-stroke victory.
