US WOMEN'S AMATEUR

MARTINA GILLEN GOES OUT BUT KATHARINA
THROUGH TO US AMATEUR QUARTER-FINALS

Ireland's Martina Gillen (Beaverstown) lost her second-round tie by one hole to Mina Harigae (California) in the United States women's amateur championship at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in Oregon.
In the third round, Carlota Ciganda from Spain went down by two holes to Jennie Arseneault (Iowa).
There is one European in the quarter-finals. She's Katharina Schallenberg from Germany. Katharina, 26, is a Vagliano Trophy team player for the Continent of Europe and she won the Sherry Cup women's title in Spain earlier this year. She was also runner-up to Krystle Caithness in the St Rule Trophy.
Katharina plays the only surviving US Curtis Cup team player, Jennie Lee from California, for a place in the semi-finals.
