ORLANDO, Fla. – Yani Tseng played her way back into the CME Group Titleholders on Saturday at Grand Cypress, shooting 66 to go from 2 over to 4 under for the tournament.
Facing the toughest pins of the week, Tseng went out in 4-under 32 before making two more birdies on the way back to the clubhouse.
Starting out the day, Tseng tried to make a side bet with her caddie Jason Hamilton to keep the round interesting.
‘When I got out today, I told my caddie, ‘How about let’s have a bet today,’' Tseng said. ‘I’ve been playing terrible the first two days, how about we play [for] $100 if I make 3 under? He’s like, ‘Come on, world No. 1, you should play better than that.’'
Tseng played twice as well as she needed to win her proposed bet. She’s quite the shark.
Perhaps more motivating was noticing she had been playing well enough to get on the leaderboard at the turn.
‘It gave me more motivation to try to make more birdies and try to go on top more,’ she said.
