After winning her last three events of the fall, Diaz picked up where she left off in her first match of the spring, winning the Sandhills Splash by seven strokes. After shooting an 82 in the opening round, she entered the second day trailing a pair of golfers by two strokes. But in the second round, she fired a 3-over 75 – five strokes better than her nearest competitor - to finish with a 157. She birdied one hole and parred 13 others in her final round while helping the Rangers finish second and five strokes off the lead.
