US WOMEN'S AMATEUR
MARTINA ONLY GB&I WINNER IN US
WOMEN'S AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP
Martina Gillen (Beaverstown) was the only one of the five GB&I Curtis Cup team players who stayed on in Oregon for the United States women's amateur championship to win her first-round tie in the match-play stages at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club.
Martina beat Vicky Hurst from Florida at the 19th.
The only other European winner was Carlota Ciganda (Spain), who beat the US Curtis Cup team player Taylor Leon from Dallas 5 and 4.
Naomi Edwards (Ganton) lost by 4 and 3 to Alison Whitaker (Australia).
Melissa Reid (Derby) went down at the 19th to Eileen Vargas from Colombia.
Kiran Matharu (Cookridge Hall) lost by 2 and 1 to Stacy Lewis from Texas.
Dewi-Claire Schreefel from the Netherlands lost by 2 and 1 to Hana Jang (Korea).
The United States Curtis Cup team did not have a good day individually when the match-play started - four of the six competing lost their ties.
Ireland's Claire Coughlan (Cork) did not figure among the 64 qualifiers with scores of 151 or better (five of the seven on that mark qualified) for the match-play stages.
Claire's moderate form in the Curtis Cup continued with rounds of 82 and 75 for 157.
