Carta also is trying to become the second Italian winner, following Silvia Cavalleri in 1997.I dont want to focus on the big picture, and this is what I learned at nationals this year, that I didnt have to think about winning or scoring low, Carta said. I just had to think about every single shot and like what iron to pick and where to hit, and that was the key that made me win nationals, so I think thats the key, also, to playing my best game this week.Torres, a senior at Florida, edged Dylan Kim of Plano, Texas, 5 and 4; Hataoka topped Katelyn Dambaugh of Goose Creek, South Carolina, 2 and 1; and Saso beat Hailee Cooper of Montgomery, Texas, also 2 and 1.Hannah OSullivan, the Chandler, Arizona, teen who won last year in Portland, Oregon, skipped her title defense.
