Augusta, him. – As Carol Cox looked out of the rope line, tears were fine in her eyes. Just a few meters away, Brightens Carlo Bernat Ecuder, 21-year-old Spanish who became like a sixth grandmother for Cox and her latest reward, a horrified silver bowl with a 24k yellow golden of the August of the National Amateur.
While Cox had a view of the slotted order at the presentation of the trophy, her husband in 62 years, Dave, provided the best point – above.
Dave Cox played college football in northern Iowa before he became a beloved football coach in Iowa. His second career was in athletic administration, from the point of view in Iowa, Nebraska-Omaha and Kansas. Last 15 years, Dave and Carol were hosted by wild players who competed in the Westbrook invitation, was performed every spring near Cox’s house in Peory, Arizona. One of these players was Bernat, which is immediately connected to Dave, the two of them often communicate through the text Dave constantly sending words encouragement before large tournaments and after hard losses.
“He was always in his corner,” Carol Cox said. “He loved her, and she loved him.”
When Dave suddenly died, in 83. years, from acute disease 13. December, Carol called Bernat to break the tragic news. Bernat started suppressing.
“He had nothing to win by sending me a message and helping me become a better player,” Bernat said. “I thought a lot today about him.”
Bernat booked two tickets, for Carol and a couple just a daughter, Jenny, she attended the final circle on Saturday in the August National Golf Club. They knew a little that Bernat would end up playing in the penultimate pairing, only when the back of the co-leaders Lottie and Kiara Romero for the beginning of the day.
Kansas State Head Courser Stew Burke was also in Bernat’s gallery, donating a needle on the back of his trucker who read: “for Dave”, with pictures of lemon, orange and grapefruit. Bernat retains one at his college point, a reminder of a man who bred the fruit trees in his backyard.
“I don’t know anyone I have more beautiful things I’d say,” Burke told Dave.
Bernate is a close second. Burke took out about Bernat’s complete game, a vivid personality and unquencher competitiveness since he was first recruited from Castellon, Spain, Tulan. Bernat, who accompanied Burke in Manhattan, Kansas, two summers ago, placed those numerous features on the screen on Saturday.
It was slow in the beginning. Bernat played her first seven holes in 1 below. Meanwhile, the teened Star Talley ran for the eagle on the first hole to bind the lead, and then loaded almost the same two groups later, touching the birds to become the first competitor to become the first competitor.
But with birds back to back, in no. 8 and 9, Bernat raced into solo leadership.
“I tried to play a pretty good nine holes,” Bernat said, “I knew the tournament began no. 10, so when I hit another shot at No. 10, I was like” curse “.
With just a wedge in his hand, Bernat probably hit her only bad shot of the circle, pushing well well, even lacking a big bunker green and almost finding shrubs.
“When I saw that recording, I was like” Oh, it’s a double Bogey, “Andrea Revuelt said, Bernat’s colleague of the Spanish who finished pairing.
Fortunately for Bernat, she was preparing for such a moment, her short game reaching new heights – literally – for recent months. From arriving at Kansas State, Bernat often challenged Steve Gotsweshe, the head of the Pro at Colbert Hills who had previously played on the PGA tour, in the competition with short games. If he was a shot that Bernat fought most, in Gotsche’s eyes, it was a tall, soft chip.
There comes Josele Ballester. Ballester is ruling the American amateur champion that will make their masters next week, and he was younger, and they were younger, and how they work with the Victor Garcia, Father of the former Champions Sergia Garcia, after crossing the tennis marks.
He stands through his tricky chip of 30 yards over the bunker on Saturday afternoon, the title of Anwa hangs in balance, Bernat thought about some advice that Balsteren had received late last year.
“I was like, if there one shot that you’re going to need the hands back to hit it higher, as he tells me, it’s this one,” Bernat said. “Well, I appreciate that advice.”
Bernat delivered a wonderful strike that hovered in the air, landing only on green and running up to about 15 feet under the hole. When Bernat was twisted in Putto, Jose Maria Olazabal, who was glued to television at the Augusta National, could not help, but cheers.
“Unbelievable,” Olazabal said about a pivotal pair of savings. “That was huge. That kept his swing. It was the only mistake she made pretty on his back nine, and she let her go.”
W was not so happy on no. 10, accidentally excessive balls and flying their access, from 5-iron, in the bushes. After the abbrection of failure, load double boga’s cardboard to suddenly fall three shots behind.
Bernat’s Caddy, Kansas State Assistant Rinko Mitsunaga, who played his college for golf in nearby Georgia, told Bernat all day not to look at the leaders. “Just focus on yourself, and we’ll be fine,” Mitsunaga would say. But Bernat couldn’t help himself, and so, after Wad’s shocking twice, Bernat knew her tournament was lost.
Then she was thinking about Dave Cox.
As she walked to her balls on her sailing, Bernat, a fruit brought for her pair of holes earlier), he passed several azalals and was almost overwhelmed about what Cox would consider what Cox would be. Carol struck to make any message, it would begin, Road to go, girl!
“My coach and I, we almost cried,” Bernat said. “But yes, we have him together.”
Bernat birded that hole after he hit the greenery in two, then stood up and down for another bird at 15. years, this last as if it were the first time. Only Talley brought a late accusation in a group that is ahead, birds nose. 16 and 17, and entering the club house in 11 below.
When Bernate could not save a pair from the bunker for green in a par-4, which he left only by shooting clearly as he was standing at par-4 18. Dee. Revuelta was impressed how much the small defense of Bernat played during the final round, and even though Bernat was the most reliable that she was all day, he was still chosen by an aggressive line, drawing his heavy ball on the right side on the right.
Before I hit my victory, nervous, nerves, downhill, Bernat took one last look at the list.
“I was like, you need to knock this because she’s right behind you,” Bernat said. “Yes, I did it too.”
After cutting a debate in her Anwa debut two years ago, Bernat immediately dialed an invitation to call her for new equipment, clubs to help her guess the ball. Then last year was the only player who broke in the second round 70 in the middle of the brutal conditions on the back of the champion; She would follow 72 and T-17 ending in Augusta National.
Burke calls Bernat “Ultimate Underdog”, two-sided, second-team Allcameria American who somehow, Burke Wonders, was never appointed to list for Annik’s watch. When she was on Saturday morning, she was the worst ranked player in the last three pairs – on the hill 29 in the world rank for amateur golf.
But after shooting the closing 68 and beating the shooting, which shot 72 and finished solo third in his Anwa Defense, three shots?
“I think she finally spilled that label,” Burke said.
While Bernat walked through the Patrovitor, Olazabal broke out of scoring to wait for his country, who joins Olazabalu, Garcia, Seve Ballesteros and Jon Rahma as the champions in Augusta Nacional. When Bernat made eye contact, she abolished for a hug.
He once met Olazabal once before, last year in this tournament, and she misrepresented his last name, saying “Larrazabal”.
“He’s like,” It’s not me, “Bernat recalled.” And I’m like, “I’m sorry.”
Bernat’s name will be endlessly with this tournament forever. Carol Cox will certainly not forget that. In fact, when it comes to moments in her life, Cox said watching the Bernat Win Saturday in Augusta National Similar to the top.
“To see that this happens to her …”
Cox couldn’t finish, the emotions too. A few minutes later Bernat came to the rope line, gave Cox and hug her daughter and delivered a permanent message.
“This is for him.”
