Sophia Schubert didn’t waste much time telling reporters how she felt.
“You know, I want to cry,” she said just moments after missing out on a career-changing major victory Sunday at the Amundi Evian Championship, which Brooke Henderson won by sinking a 12-footer for birdie on the final hole to finish at 17 under, a shot clear of Schubert.
But make no mistake, Schubert wasn’t sad.
“I want to cry tears of happiness,” Schubert said after her breakthrough runner-up finish. “I'm proud of myself, proud of everyone that's helped me get to this point. It came just short, but I know that I'll be back, so I'm really happy.
