The marquee match of the third round at Royal County Down will be between two women who had lopsided victories Thursday afternoon.
The winner of this week’s event will earn exemptions into the AIG Women’s British Open, the Evian Championship, next year’s U.S. Women’s Open and next year’s Augusta National Women’s Amateur.
England’s Hannah Screen, who recently finished her freshman season at Houston, got past Italy’s Letizia Bagnoli, 2 and 1, in her morning match only to fall to countrywoman Euphemie Rhodes in 19 holes in the afternoon. Screen had been the No. 1 seed on the match-play bracket, and was making a bid to become the second consecutive Houston player to win the event after teammate Leonie Harm did it last year.
Grant won another big match in the afternoon, downing Finland’s Emilia Tukianen, 6 and 5.
That match came directly after Texas standout Sara Kouskova, who hails from the Czech Republic, only needed 13 holes to take down Wake Forest’s Vanessa Knecht, of Switzerland.
Amelia Garvey, the USC player with the powerful swing, is still in the mix and will face Denmark’s Puk Lyng Thomsen in the next round. Beatrice Wallin, a rising sophomore at Florida State, also played her way into the third round.
In the next-to-last match of Friday’s third-round lineup, Kouskova will meet Grant.
