Fifteen years ago, Angela Stanford gave herself a chance to win the U.S. Women’s Open. Hilary Lunke beat her and Kelly Robbins in a playoff at Pumpkin Ridge.
Stanford played as if it were only a matter of time until she won a major. She went on to win five LPGA titles and became a staple on the American Solheim Cup team.
At 40, Stanford is still waiting for that elusive major, but she’s giving herself a chance at the Evian Championship. She needs a big finish to pull it off.
A 3-under-par 68 Saturday left Stanford five shots off the lead.
