“I made zero putts,” she said, “just when I thought I finally got these greens figured out.”
From an interview of a golf champion, I don't understand the second part of the sentence (though I think I unterstand every word). I feel something is missing after "out" (like: then the round was over) - Maybe this second part need to be "broken"...
The next sentence is another Q from the interviewer (no link whatsoever with this one)
Could someone reword or explain this second part for me please?
