AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Many words can be summoned to describe Augusta National, the long-time home of the Masters and one of the most famous golf courses in the world.
Sometimes, like in golf, it's best to just keep it simple.
"Magical,'' said Olivia Mehaffey, one of 30 players who made it to the final round of the Augusta National Women's Amateur on Saturday.
"It exceeds all expectations,'' she said.
Mehaffey, from Northern Ireland, playing the event for the second time, did not win, a final-round 75 meaning a ninth-place finish, two shots out of a playoff won by Japan's Tsubasa Kajitani on the first extra hole over Emilia Migliaccio.
