After shooting 76 on Thursday, she needed a low round on Friday to avoid missing the cut.
Since she placed T-26 at the Palos Verdes Championship in late April, Tavatanakit, a major champion at 22 years old (2021 Chevron Championship), has not participated in weekend golf on the LPGA.
"I went through a difficult period there, but I kept encouraging myself to keep going because golf is bad, and your personal life is bad; it can be quite depressing."
To accomplish that today made a huge difference in everything, and to witness that is incredibly heartwarming. It's like a calm after a storm.
The former UCLA star had made 24 successive cuts before a run of four straight missed cuts coming into the Scottish. During that time, she had 11 top-10 finishes.
According to the speaker, the main thing was to "just keep believing in myself, because I feel like a lot of times I question the things I do just because of the result," said Tavatanakit. But ultimately, you have to believe in what you're doing; today, it did come through.
