"I was just really patient with myself," said Reto, playing her first season on the LPGA Tour after a year on the Symetra Tour. "I hit a couple good irons, especially early in the round. I hit a couple close, 5 feet, so that was nice, got the momentum going pretty early. It was nice to birdie the last hole yesterday as well as today, that was really nice. Just trying to stay patient and not think too much, just simple things." She started playing golf when she was 16. "I moved from South Africa with my family in 05," Reto said. "We moved to Florida and I used to play field hockey and ran track. So I tried to start a team over here in Florida and the track and the field hockey wasnt as good, so my dad used to play golf and he said, So, why dont you just try golf. "So got in my freshman year of high school and tried golf. I loved it and endeed up just dropping track and field hockey and just kept playing and loved the game. Dell Curry Jersey.
