Thanks for your post. I decided to go for a bike ride and set the DVR. Unfortunately the recording ended at the tee box on 17. I had to see what you had described, and here it is for anyone else to see. Start at 27:30 to see Zhang's beauty onto the green, and the subsequent putts in question.

Thanks for the commentary everyone (and to Embo for the video). It really did seem a bit like karma (though maybe Ruffels was miffed that she even had to putt on 38, given that she had given a slightly shorter putt to Zhang. Regardless, great match and congrats to both . . . but especially "our" Zhang!!
P.S. Why would anyone question whether there will be competitive college golf this coming year? It is the definition of a socially distanced sport. Heck, they even had some spectators there (or so it sounded) and that was NBD. I guess if ADs don't have the money to fund teams, that might be a problem . . .
