 RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) - A collapse like this should have left scars. Suzann Pettersen looked like a runaway winner at the Kraft Nabisco Championship without four holes to play. Then came a bogey from the right rough on the 15th. She clipped a tree branch trying to escape the rough on the 16th, leading to double bogey. Another bogey on the 17th. And just like that, she was in tears, blowing a chance to win her first major.
It might have been the best thing to happen to her.
A month later, she won her first LPGA Tour event in Virginia. And a month after that, she was flawless on the back nine of Bulle Rock to capture her first major at the LPGA Championship.
