DALY CITY, Calif. – Morgan Pressel’s swing is back, and so is her confidence.
Playing a course so many players say reminds them of a major championship setup, Pressel is conjuring the form that brought out her best on the game’s toughest venues.
With a 5-under-par 67 in tough, windy conditions Saturday, Pressel posted the low round of the day, moving one shot behind 17-year-old Brooke Henderson going into Sunday’s final round.
Pressel, now 26, was just 17 when she made a run at winning the U.S. Women’s Open at Cherry Hills. She tied for second after Birdie Kim’s improbable hole out from a bunker at the 72nd hole.
