But Tan came back in the back nine to best seven other players with gross score of 90, handicap of 20, and a net score of 70.<\/p>\n<p>Second place went to Sae Hee Kim with gross score of 84, handicap of 10, and a net score of 74. Third place was Janet Torres with a gross score of 94, handicap of 15, and net score of 79.<\/p>\n<p>When asked how the tournament went, Tan said the \u201ctournament always is hard and tough mentally. Nervousness will come naturally.\u201d Even with that, Tan made a great comeback after faltering in the front nine and was surprised she won because \u201cin the group, there [are] strong and seasoned tournament players. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>She added that she didn\u2019t really have a bad hole, \u201cbut my first nine, 3-4 holes I have 3 putts. If not, my score could have been even better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy best hole is hole No. 12 as I had a birdie. From that hole onwards, I [felt] my momentum and timing [was] good. My shot game was on a roll. I\u2019m always a boogie score player,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The club continues to look for new members as the new season continues.
