Collegiate golfer quotes Tiger Woods after her win at the East Lake

Oklahoma State women’s golf’s Rina Tatematsu earned the individual championship on the first day of the East Lake Cup. The collegiate golfer finished 5-under in the 18-hole championship and earned her 2nd career collegiate win.

“During the practice rounds, the funny thing is that you know, like three years ago Tiger Woods won here, and then he was in the bunker, I think the last hole number 18,” said Rina. “And I was like, ‘Okay, I’m going to hit the same bunker as a Tiger’ and my coach, coach Greg, he was like expanding ‘Oh, is this the pin he was? He was yeah,’ so just like I’m really thankful.” 

Notably, Tiger Woods had registered a victory at the East Lake in 2018 at the Tour Championship. He got himself inside the bunker on the final hole. But thanks to his consistent performance, especially on the final day, he had a decent cushion and eventually won the event by two strokes.  

However, Rina Tatematsu avoided the bunker during the main event. She made an exceptional eagle on the final hole at East Lake and won the women’s championship. Moreover, this eagle ended up being the lone eagle of the tournament, which is an incredible achievement.
