Van Dam (77) 'disappointed' after bad putting day at Mediheal
DALY CITY, Calif. – The shortest club in the bag derailed long-hitting Anne van Dam in the second round of the Mediheal Championship.
After opening with a 5-under-par 67 to take a share of the first-round lead at Lake Merced Golf Club, the Dutch rookie stumbled to a 77 on Friday.
“It was mainly my putting,” said Van Dam, 23, who leads the LPGA in driving distance (289 yards per drive). “I had a few bad three putts, missed some short putts, and then that got me out of it with my swing, over the last few holes.”
Van Dam took a whopping 35 putts in the second round and fell back to even par overall.
