That was exactly what she did on Aug 23, when she carded a threeunder 69, which not only helped her make the cut at St Andrews, but also create history.
Mixing five birdies against two bogeys in the second round, the 20-year-old placed joint-21st on even-par 144-four shots above the cut line. In the process, she became the first Singaporean to make the cut at a Major since Lam Chih Bing in 2008.
She was eight shots behind second-round leader and world No. 1 Nelly Korda (68) and five behind second-placed Lilia Vu (70) and Charley Hull (72).
In the third round, she had three birdies but also seven bogeys, including six on the back nine, for a 76 and four-over total of 220.
Among the big names who missed the cut were third-ranked Ko Jin-young on 10-over 154, world No.
5 Hannah Green and Ilth-ranked Yuka Saso (both 151).
