According to the arousal theory of motivation, our brain tells us to do the opposite of the mood we are having to maintain balance. For example, if you feel bored, you are motivated to do exciting things like rigorous sports. Hence, in this problem, Sara may perform best. Since golf is a calm sport, and it is opposite to Sarah's nervous feeling, this two will balance out.
