Joanne Kitusky , 3 and 1 ) The story : Miller became the first player since Shelley Savage in 2012 and 2013 to win consecutive Senior Women ’ s Amateurs .

In her four matches , she won eight holes during that stretch and lost none .

“ I knew I had to get to my corner ,” Miller said . “ Once I got to my corner , I started getting some momentum and started building what I needed to get to the end .”
