Laura Diaz got into the tournament with birdies on her last two holes last week to finish second and earn enough money to move into the top 30 on the money. She was tied for the lead at one point until getting too cute with a 6-iron on the 18th hole, hitting it about 50 yards into the water and having to get up-and-down with a 9-iron for bogey.
Still, she shot 69 and felt like she was capable of winning.
