Li, the 21-year-old American who played in the 2014 U.S. Women’s Open at age 11, missed a chance for her first LPGA Tour victory.
“I had honestly no clue that this was going to happen,” Li said. “I did not think I was in it at all. I mean, after two three-putts in the first four holes I was just like, `I don’t know.′ And then some magic came and I shot 60. Even though I didn’t win, just this is the greatest thing.”

ARLINGTON, Texas — The University of Arkansas special teams went 1 for 2 on fakes involving Devin Bale in Saturday’s 21-17 loss to No. 24 Texas A&M on Saturday at AT&T Stadium.
In the first quarter Bale — who punts, kicks off and holds on field goal and extra point attempts — rushed for a first down on fourth-and-15 from the Arkansas 46 when he gained 25 yards on a fake punt.
Bale’s run set up a touchdown that put the Razorbacks ahead 14-7.
After Bale fielded the ball from long snapper Ashton Ngo, he took a few steps as if getting ready to rugby kick, then took off running when he saw an opening.

“The fake punt was just a green light for Devin,” Arkansas Coach Sam Pittman said. “We had seen that they turn their back and I trust the guy.
“So we just said, ‘Hey, if they turn their back and you feel like you can get 15 yards, take off,’ and he did.
“And, man, he did a phenomenal job with that. Big play.”
Bale also was involved in a fake field goal attempt in the third quarter with the game tied 14-14.
The Razorbacks lined up for what would have been a 50-yard attempt by Kyle Ramsey on fourth-and-6 from the Texas A&M 32 when Bale took the snap from Ngo and got up to run.

Instead of getting the first down, Bale was tackled for a 5-yard loss by safety Marcus Ratcliffe and defensive end Shemar Stewart.
Pittman said the Aggies initially showed the same look on field goal defense as they have this season, but they reacted differently.
“The problem was, they normally drop the two outside guys,” Pittman said. “We were trying to run Landon (Jackson) on a fake pass and we knew the guy would go with him if we could run him into the middle linebacker, and then kick out the outside guy because he always just came up and stopped.
“It was the exact same look, except they rushed off the edge, which they hadn’t shown this year. On a tackle-over situation to the boundary, they rushed and they got us on it.

“Obviously, I felt like we’d make it or I wouldn’t have called it. But we didn’t.”
