Anderson v Kim for US girls' championship
Leading match-play qualifier Amy Anderson, 17 from Oxbow, North Dakota, will play 2006 U.S. Women’s Amateur champion Kimberly Kim, 17, from Hilo, Hawaii in Saturday's 36-hole final of the United States girls championship at the Trump National Club, Bedminister, New Jersey.
Should Anderson win, she would be the first top qualifier to claim the title since Julieta Granada in 2004.
And with U.S. boys' amateur leading qualifier Jordan Spieth also advancing to Saturday’s final at Trump National G.C., it’s the first time medalists in both championships have reached the final in the same year since 1991 (Tiger Woods and Emilee Klein).
Amy holed a pitch to square her semi-final at the 18th and went on to win at the first extra hole.
