"I was shaking, just trying to calm down."

Not only was Stacy Lewis' play under pressure impressive but so was Yani Tseng's graceful handling of her Nabisco defeat, as noted in this unbylined AP story.

"She handled the pressure very well," Tseng said. "She did great, better than me."
Lewis' putt on the 17th broke abruptly to the left and dropped straight home, with Lewis raising her fist in celebration. The 26-year-old from Texas with her alma mater's Arkansas Razorbacks head cover on her driver then stood staring at the green, hands on her knees in disbelief, while Tseng missed an 18-foot par putt that essentially clinched it.

"I was shaking, just trying to calm down," Lewis said.

And she did it playing with a heavy heart, as Beth Ann Baldry notes in Golfweek's "rapid reaction" to the event.

Lewis' first career victory came during a time of great loss. Lewis’ grandfather, Al, died early Wednesday morning in Toledo, Ohio. He was 84. The funeral is set for Wednesday.

“He and my grandma both got to see me play the whole round today,” said Lewis, “and they were out there with me for sure.”

A final-round 69 at the Dinah Shore course at Mission Hills Country Club left Lewis three shots ahead of Tseng after starting the day trailing the defending champ by two shots.

“I think she had more pressure on her than I did,” Lewis said of Tseng.

The putt no one could stop talking about came at No. 17, an 18-footer Lewis knocked in for a birdie to Tseng’s bogey. It effectively put the championship in her hands.

Tseng’s final-round 74 was the highest of the week, but she had no regrets.

“I tried my best today, and I didn’t give her any shots today,” she said. “So I hung in there until the last putt and smiled the whole way, whole day.”
