My hat's off to her, Hall said. She played amazing, and she deserves to win. But I came second, and it was a great tournament for me still, and I'm really pleased.Alex, 28, won in her 124th LPGA start. Shes a former Vanderbilt standout in her sixth season on tour.It's been a lot of hard work, Alex said. I haven't been in a ton of contention situations. A few here and there. I really just didn't know how to handle them. I learned the best that I can.Alex didnt look as if she was closing out her first victory. She hit every fairway but one, and she hit 15 greens in regulation. She had some special help along her way, with Travis Wilson on her bag as caddie. Hes the regular caddie for Stacy Lewis, on loan to Alex while Lewis is on maternity leave.He's such a wonderful guy, and he has such a calm demeanor about him, Alex said. It definitely helped me relax.And deliver the best performance of her career.
