BRADENTON, Fla. – Each night when they returned to the team hotel, Lauren Whyte and Hayley Davis allowed themselves three seconds to complain about their day.
“This is the day it’ll turn around,” Davis would try to convince her teammate. “I’m telling you, this is the day.”
But the message can be delivered only so many times before it eventually loses its effect.
Whyte’s high scores kept piling up at Concession: An opening 81. Followed by an 85. And then a 94. And an 82. Four days of stroke play, and not once did her score count toward Baylor’s team total.
