Posted Jul 22, 2007
Meaghan Francella aimed high. Facing a blind second shot on the par-5 18th, the local favorite hit a near-perfect 3-wood into the middle of the green to finish off top-ranked Lorena Ochoa on Friday in the second round of the HSBC Women's World Match Play Championship in New Rochelle, N.Y. "I just picked out a cloud," said Francella, a former UNC player.
