However, no nerves were visible as Thompson played the par-five 18th. She played her second shot safely in front of the lake before flicking a wedge to three feet and making the birdie putt.
"The chip in was definitely really important, but the whole day my whole goal was to get it to 15 under. That was my goal, but once she made the birdie and the eagle, I knew I had to play my [url=http://www.golfcombo.com/goods-348-Ping+G20+Driver.html]ping g20 driver[/url]
make a lot of birdies, so I just kept on going strong and hoping for the best," Thompson said.
"On the 17th I struggled a little bit on that green, but I ended up three putting, it was a two shot swing. But I was just thinking I'm going to just take 3 wood off the tee and hopefully make birdie or par that way. I would think that would do it. So I ended up making birdie, so it was a bonus.
"I was playing safe, but still pretty aggressive, just playing smart. So I just went into 18 and played [url=http://www.golfcombo.com/goods-360-PING+G20+Irons.html]ping g20 irons[/url]
smart, hit 3 wood and hopefully make par, birdie.
"If it was close, I might have gone and hit driver and went to the green to make eagle if it was close, but I'm just thinking I'm pretty good with my [url=http://www.golfcombo.com/goods-130-Ping+K15+Driver.html]Ping k15 driver[/url]
so I was just hoping for birdie with that."
Pace played the final hole in regulation and her final-round 69 left her alone in second.
Pace said: "I guess I could have had things a little bit different. I hit a bad club on I think it was number 12 over the green which cost me a shot, and I think that's where things changed around. But I'm pretty happy I played [url=http://www.golfcombo.com/goods-193-Titleist+910+D3+Driver.html]titleist 910 d3 driver[/url]
well."
Sweden's Sophie Gustafson had a solid bogey-free final round of 71 and ended third at 10 under, but acknowledged that just one final-hole birdie was not enough to put any pressure on the youngster.
"I played [url=http://www.golfcombo.com/goods-237-Titleist+Scotty+Cameron+Studio+Select+Newport+2+Putter+.html]scotty cameron newport[/url]
well; I just couldn't get any of the putts to drop. I mean, I think I hit 16 greens and had 34 putts, so that's not going to win you any tournaments, but it was nice to finish with a birdie on the last," Gustafson said.
Fellow Swede Pernilla Lindberg had been in contention but dropped into a share of fourth place after a bogey on 17. She had a final round of 71 to end nine under alongside Becky Morgan and Stacy Lee Bregman, while Alison Walshe and Julieta Granada were two strokes further behind.
