Terry, respectfully disagree for a couple of reasons. First, Albane had the lead. The pressure was on Vaughn to be super aggressive in attacking the green with a 3 wood on her second shot. Of course hindsight is 20/20 but it simply didn't make sense for Albane to be similarly aggressive at the time. Plus, it was difficult to tell from the TV angles but it looked as though Albane had to navigate a tree on her second shot which basically made laying up her only viable option. She planned her strategy before play resumed and executed it well. Just have to tip you hat to Vaughn for making a couple excellent shots.
