Notes from Coach Jody Jackson:
Alix Kong and Cherie Chua had a run of 4 birdies in a row and also got an eagle.
Keanna Mason very strong off the tee, clutch 7 ft. putt on hole #1 to send team to 1 Up and Valentina had a 40 ft. putt on one of the final holes to secure all 3 points for Canada.
Cheryl Chus and Emily Nicol, steady eddy’s.. 2 Up on Front and 1 Up on back.
Grace Chua and Emery Bardock fought back from going 1 Down on front, to win back with 3 Up and round at 2 Up.
Taylor Kim was a force throughout the round, hitting two pins from the fairway. Partner Haley Kruse hit a hybrid from 160 out on 18th, put it to 7 feet and drained putt to win the back nine and halve round.
Jessie Keel continued her outstanding play battling one of the top American girls – Monica Vaughn… partner Ally Shin contributing when necessary. On hole 18, Keel hit her approach shot to 1 1/2 feet to secure the round, after winning front and losing the back nine.
