Typically, I support the American player in such situations.  But in this instance, I was backing Haru. Years ago, I worked the practice area when the Tour Championship was played at Bulle Rock.   All of the lady pros, both home grown and foreign, were very nice people and expressed appreciation for our volunteer efforts with one exception--Christy Kerr.  She was not very personable and at times somewhat nasty.   There is just something about her that rubs me the wrong way.
