Angela Stanford was waving long before she got to the 18th green, taking in the claps and whistles from the gathered fans while she strolled down the fairway. Stanford lives just 60 miles from Old American Golf Club in Fort Worth and captured last year’s Volunteers of America Classic title with just a few of her native Texans surrounding the green. This year, the 21-year LPGA Tour veteran heads to the final round at -9 overall, just five strokes off the lead, and is basking in the opportunity to defend her title in front of a rowdy group of family, friends and fans.

This past Monday, one day after the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, Emma Talley joined a group of LPGA Tour players in Atlanta for the Renee Powell Clearview Legacy Benefit, a charity event that raised funds for Powell’s mission at Clearview Golf Club in Ohio.

The 2016 Olympian carded six birdies and one bogey on Thursday, returning the lowest round in her three appearances at Old American.
“Start of the day I was hitting it pretty close and missed a couple putts I think my first three, four holes. Talked to my caddie and said, ‘It s really hard not to get frustrated with my putting right now,’” said Piller. “He just reminded me that I m really good at staying patient.
