Louderbaugh of Kansas arrives at the semifinals of American women amateurs
Bandon, Oregon – Kansas junior Lyla Louderbaugh made the semifinals for American women’s amateurs on Friday, losing 2 leads and holding on with two holes against top-ranked Kiara Romero on 20 holes in Bandon Dunes.
Two-time Kansas women’s amateur champion Louderbaugh advanced to Brooke Biermann, the 3- and 2-win champion for Hong Kong Arianna Lau.
Stanford senior Megha Ganne defeated Eila Galitsky at Thailand 2 and 1, followed by Australia’s semi-finals with Ella Scaysbrook, who beat Canada Taylor Kehoe 5 and 4 in the quarterfinals.
Louderbaugh seized control of Oregon Junior Kiara Romero, a top amateur in women’s golf courses, hitting a tee three feet in a three-shot 12-shot tee and gaining a beautiful course in a par 5 on 13. Romero was only 2 years old when she missed a 30-inch PAR putter on the 16th.
Then, it all emits strong winds from the Pacific coast, with gusts within 30 mph. Louderbaugh sent her path to 17th in the green and into the bush, and Romero took her three-foot shots.
On the 18th hole of 5-18, Louderbaugh hit 7 irons from light hair on the 18th hole of Romero hitting green 50 yards from the fairway, while the left-to-right wind once again shot her shot into the bush, effectively bringing the hole to Romero.
“I went to the bathroom to tell myself, ‘Leader you did a good job of the last two holes. “I told my caddie to let me think for myself, browse the camera in my head. This helped me think straightforwardly. ”
In the first extra hole in 10th, Louderbaugh’s 7-foot birdie putt hit the back of the cup and spun. On the 20th hole, it was Romero who blinked. Her shot went right and the best thing she could do was pitch about 10 feet on the flag.
Romero missed her 10-foot par putt and Louderbaugh won two eliminations from 20 feet.
“I have confidence that I can beat her today,” said Laudebo, the women’s amateur ranking No. 249.
Ganne had 2 leads ahead of schedule and made two 6-foot par putts and got one in one hole before Galitsky made too many mistakes.
Biermann lagged until he won three consecutive holes, starting with the first ball metal, and entering the 3 feet of No. 11.
