After beating France\u2019s Sara Brentcheneff by one hole in a hard-fought morning round, she was four down after six to Arianna Lau. As her opponent struggled on the greens, the Belgian birdied the 8th and ground out a series of pars that earned her a 2&amp;1 victory.\u00a0<br \/>\nDe Bock said, \u201cI think we were both surprised by the wind. I struggled quite a bit at the start, then I got a little better. It was definitely a tough match (against Arianna) and not in the way we like it. It was just very challenging for both of us.<br \/>\n\u201cI was four down and I was like \u2018now let&#8217;s get back because that&#8217;s not acceptable\u2019. I was just like so mad. Unfortunately, that led to more bad shots. In the end I figured that it was time to put my mind towards playing golf and stop being mad, so that&#8217;s what I did and it ended up being fine.\u201d<br \/>\nSome of the day\u2019s best golf was played by Valentine Delon who made it through with a 3&amp;2 win over Sweden\u2019s Meja Ortengren. Having beaten American Samantha Olson 2&amp;1 in the morning, Delon continued her form into the afternoon, most notably with birdies at the 8th, 10th and 12th.<br \/>\nBehind the 18th green at Muirfield, Delon celebrated her win with compatriot and room-mate for the week, Camille Min Gaultier, who made it a French double with her victory by one hole over Canada\u2019s Lauren Kim in the last-16.<br \/>\n\u201cIt was a tough day. This afternoon was really windy. I was just trying to make pars because I knew, in these windy conditions, par would be fine. I had a couple of birdies that were important at a good moment. This afternoon I holed a really good putt on the 10th and did a really good par on the 11th. On 16, I hit the best shot of the day, a 5-wood into the wind to 15 feet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Savannah De Bock was another who never gave up.
