She had played in the event a few times before, and also struggled in the early rounds before building the confidence to “play [her] own game” later in the tournament. Putting past struggles behind her, Sheldon never trailed in her final match against Tara Joy Connelly. The Massachusetts tournament was held at The Country Club in Brookline, which happens to be Sheldon’s home...
