They say the Masters doesn't start until the second nine on Sunday, and as it turns out, the inaugural Augusta National Women's Amateur ended in similar fashion.The historic event turned into a two-woman race on Saturday at Augusta National Golf Club, and Jennifer Kupcho outplayed Maria Fassi down the stretch to card a final-round 67 and take home the hardware.Kupcho was even par through 12 holes before coming on in a big way down the stretch, playing her last six holes in 5 under.The run started with what was arguably the shot of the day, this approach into the 13th hole to set up an eagle and tie Fassi for the lead:
