Emma McMyler birdies the first playoff hole to defeat Grace Jin, while 2008 champ Lucy Nunn made history with her Mid-Am victory
Grace Jin was fresh off a victory in the Texas Women's Open. She began the week right where she left off, with a blistering 8-under par 64 in the stroke play qualifying round.
Jin went toe-to-toe with the 2nd seed Emma McMyler of San Antonio, a recent Duke transfer (from Xavier University). A back-and-forth match saw McMyler make the turn 1-up, but Jin was able to tie the match on the 14th hole. McMyler regained the lead, going 1-up through 15 holes, and held that heading into the 18th hole before Jin made a clutch par to tie the match.
MID-AMATEUR DIVISION
Lucy Nunn
In the Semifinals of the Amateur Championship, top seed Grace Jin continued her rock-solid play as she did throughout the week with a convincing 5 & 4 victory over local product and 12th seed Bella Flores. Emma McMyler was able to keep pace with Jin as she defeated two-time Women’s Southern Amateur champion Calynne Rosholt, the 3rd seed, 2 & 1.
The Mid-Amateur Championship Semifinals, another top seed, Dawn Woodard, take down the 5th seed Kelley Nittoli 3 & 2. Lucy Nunn secured her spot in the Finals after a convincing 5 & 4 victory over Meghan Moake, the 7th seed.
