Amateur Tournaments

Two great amateur tournaments going on this week and Ozzies are firing.

US Girl's Junior Championship

The US Girl's Junior Amateur is being played at Old Chatham Golf Club in Durham, North Carolina.

Ozzies in the field: Amelia Harris, Lara Thomsen.

The format is two rounds of strokeplay with the top 64 qualifying for matchplay. After the two stroke play qualifying rounds, Amelia Harris was in 5th place and Lara Thomsen was in a tie for eleventh, which means they both qualified for the matchplay section of the tournament. Harris comfortably won her round of 64 match 6&5 against Rebecca Wang from China. Unfortunately Thomson went down 4&3 to American Erin Le Nguyen. Harris now plays Canadian Shauna Liu in the round of 16 on Thursday.

Good luck Amelia.

PNGA Women’s Amateur

The Pacific North West Women’s Amateur is being played at OGA Golf course, Woodburn, Oregon.

Ozzies in the field: Reagon Denton, Grace Rho

The format is 36 holes of strokeplay from which the top 32 players qualify for matchplay. Ozzie Reagon Denton was the medalist following the strokeplay with rounds of 70 and 69 to finish three shots ahead of the second placed competitor. As medalist Denton received a bye in the round of 32 and then won her round of 16 match 8 & 7. She now faces Yvonne Vinceri from USA in the quarterfinal. Rho also got a bye straight in the round of 16 which she won 5 & 4 and now plays Thanyanate Bhummabhuti from Thailand in the quarterfinal.

Good luck to both our Ozzies.
