Cut And Medalist Update

 Permanent link   All Posts

Looks like the cut will come at 7-over-par 151, with six golfers vying for the last spot in the match-play field. That group includes Great Britain and Ireland Curtis Cup member Holly Clyburn of England and 16-year-old Tiffany Lim of San Jose, Calif., who made the 36-hole cut at this year's U.S. Women's Open. The playoff will begin at the 10th hole. And USGA officials will try to complete the playoff before sundown.

The lucky survivor will play one of the three tri-medalists: Rachel Rohanna of Waynesburg, Pa., Jaclyn Sweeney of Andover Mass., or Erynne Lee of Silverdale, Wash. All three finished at 6-under 138. Sweeney had a chance to earn solo medalist honors, but bogeyed the 18th hole, her only bogey of the round. She posted a pair of 69s. -- David Shefter
