Not enough though, apparently:

For Minea Blomqvist, a move to Florida -- and the ability to play golf daily -- had an immediate impact on her results.

Yeah, it is that "length of season" impact. 12 months of golf in Florida vs. maybe 4+ months in Finland(?) annually. I remember that from the school golf season in Northern Minnesota. We got snowed out of meets in May, & in September the daylight was too short to go out after school.

Minea had a less inspiring moving-day today. Shot a 76, with a double bogey at 17, and she's back in the pack. Looks like the overnight leader busted, too. She'll need to shoot low 60s in the final round to be in with anything like a chance. But the video interview was nice.
