It's a tricky course, and honestly, it required on my end probably a little bit more prep going into yesterday. I made some dumb decisions off tees that cost me like a bunch of shots. "I learned from that today, and then I just kind of got off to a really good, solid start, and luckily the momentum just kept going in my favor."Marina Alex's professional careerMarina Alex was born on August 2, 1990, in Wayne, New Jersey.
