Midway through the final round of the ShopRite LPGA Classic at Seaview Golf Club, she was looking for ways to ease the tension that comes with being in contention.

A victory puts LaManna (39-5-1, 18 KOs) in position for a world title bout. A loss essentially ends that dream. “This is my final shot at greatness,” LaManna said.
