I couldn’t control that shot, it was luck and I’m really grateful because it saved my whole day.” “On eight and nine I made some bad swings, and I struggled throughout the back nine, I saved a lot of putts out there. “I was just trying to stay patient out there because I started a little funny,” said Spilkova.
