She nonetheless finished at 14 under, sealing the victory.
Reflecting on the adrenaline rush, Green shared that she was nervous and leaned on Felton for calm, reminders to breathe, snack, and hydrate. "I haven’t played with this kind of adrenaline in a long time, and we handled it really well," she said.
