"I'm feeling really good," Carta said to Go Duke. She actually did not get it the first time they told her of the record. And now that she knew about it, it is awesome for her. But, for her, the next 18 holes are going to be tough. Knowing that nobody knows how other players on the course are going to play. Still, Carta is excited and happy with her game.
