One match to go

Rayee Feng and Taylor Kehoe are on the 22nd hole trying to determine who will face off against Ella Scaysbrook in the quarterfinals.

Shocking miss

Pressure makes diamonds, but it also brings nerves. That’s what happened for Brooke Biermann on the 18th hole with a 3 footer to win her match. She missed, and the match is in extra holes now.

Both lowest seeds advance

A historic quarterfinal is coming at Bandon Dunes, as Australian Ella Scaysbrook, the 63 seed, beats world No. 10 Jasmine Koo 4 and 3 and is heading to the quarterfinals in her first U.S. Women’s Amateur.

64 seed advances

The first quarterfinalist has punched her ticket to Friday. 64 seed Arianna Lau knocks off Carolina Lopez-Chacarra to advance. A 5-and-4 victory over the 15th-ranked amateur in the world.

Lower seeds dominating

A dominant showing thus far from the 63 and 64 seeds. Arianna Lau, the 64 seed, is 5 up with six holes to play. Ella Scaysbrook, the 63, is 3 up at the turn. Could the last two players in the bracket make the quarters? It’s looking like it.

Carolina Lopez-Chacarra calls for medical

Down 4 thru 8 holes in her match, Carolina Lopez-Chacarra has called for medical. She has been dealing with a foot issue all week relating to her breaking in new shoes this week.

64 seed going to make a run?

Arianna Lau is on a heater. The 64 seed is 3 up thru 6 holes on Carolina Lopez-Chacarra. An impressive run may be even better soon.

Stats from the Round of 16

Andie Smith knocks off Catherine Rao

A Round of 32 update, but the Round of 16 is now set. Andie Smith knocks out Catherine Rao in 23 holes. It’s an upset to a degree, as Rao made the quarterfinals each of the past three seasons. However, the streak is over.

Round of 16 underway

There’s still a Round of 32 matchup going on (on the 23rd hole) but the Round of 16 is underway with the first match, with Arianna Lau and Carolina Lopez-Chacarra tying the first hole.
