The world's best female amateurs tee it up at Old Waverly next week. Here's who we're watching (plus complete pairings, tee times)
The U.S. Women’s Amateur is on the horizon at Old Waverly Golf Club in West Point, Miss. Ahead of the biggest event in women’s amateur golf, we suggest a few pairings to keep an eye on during stroke-play qualifying.
7:15 a.m. (No. 10) / 12:15 p.m. (No. 1) – Hailee Cooper, Montgomery, Texas; Ellen Secor, Portland, Ore.; Mika Liu, Beverly Hills, Calif.
Too bad these women can’t play alternate shot, four-ball, or some combination. These three are among the nine USGA champions in the field considering that all have been one half of a winning U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-Ball team.
Cooper, who recently finished up her freshman season at Texas (winning twice individually), partnered with Kaitlyn Papp to win in 2016. Secor, who will be a senior at Oklahoma, won with Katrina Prendergast (not in the field) in 2018, and Liu was half of the inaugural championship team in 2015 with Rinko Mitsunaga (also not in the field).
8:55 a.m. (No. 10) / 1:55 p.m. (No. 1) – Albane Valenzuela, Switzerland; Alessia Nobilio, Italy; Lucy Li, Redwood Shores, Calif.
Plenty of experience here, as all three women are ranked inside the top 6 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. Don’t be surprised if a champion comes out of this group. Stanford’s Valenzuela (No. 5), runner-up at the 2017 U.S. Women’s Amateur, will only be a week removed from playing the weekend at the Evian Championship – her third LPGA major start of 2019 and her second made cut. Italy’s Nobilio (No. 6) is the reigning Italian Ladies Stroke Play champion, who has spent her summer competing in Europe. We’ll see Li (No. 3) compete for just the fifth time in 2019 after battling injury. She won the AJGA’s Polo Golf Junior Classic in June and was fifth at the Canadian Women’s Amateur last week.
1:55 p.m. (No. 1) / 8:55 a.m. (No. 10) – Yuka Saso, Philippines; Rachel Heck, Memphis, Tenn.; Alexa Pano, Lake Worth, Fla.
We’ll call this the junior all-star pairing. Saso was the medalist at the U.S. Girls’ Junior last week before going out in the semifinals. She was much sneakier in her climb to a T-3 at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur earlier this spring. Heck is a Stanford commit with big game, having made the cut at the Evian a year ago. She played the ANA Inspiration this spring. As for Pano, one can imagine she’ll be looking to avenge a first-round defeat at the Girls’ Junior. Pano, runner-up at the event last year, should stick around much longer than that this week.
2:15 p.m. (No. 1) / 9:15 a.m. (No. 10) – Ashley Gilliam, Manchester, Tenn.; Sabrina Iqbal, San Jose, Calif.; Virginia Elena Carta, Italy
Old Waverly is one of Mississippi State’s home courses, but Gilliam, an incoming freshman, is the only MSU player in the field this week. TCU freshman Iqbal was a Women’s Open qualifier this year (missed the cut) and having just turned 18 on July 19, was eligible for the Girls’ Junior, where she played to the third round. That makes Carta “the old lady” in this group. Runner-up in 2016, this will likely be the 22-year-old’s final start in this event. Here’s more on this Rhodes Scholar finalist's plans for the coming months.
12:25 p.m. (No. 10) / 7:25 a.m. (No. 1) – Lei Ye, People's Republic of China; Cory Lopez, Mexico; Andrea Lee, Hermosa Beach, Calif.
Ye, an incoming Stanford freshman who often goes by Angelina, is the newest USGA champion. Her exact words upon winning (and earning a U.S. Women’s Open start for 2020 among a host of other spoils)? “I think it's definitely a relief.” Senior teammate Andrea Lee is a must-watch for any tournament she enters, considering she’s No. 2 in the world, has won eight times at Stanford and contended last week at the Canadian Women’s Amateur. Lopez, who will start at Arkansas in the fall of 2020, competes extensively in Mexico and is the reigning Mexico Women’s Amateur champion. She also won the Toyota Junior World Cup in Japan before a Round-of-64 loss (at the hands of Iqbal) at the U.S. Girls’ Junior.
Below are complete tee times for the first two rounds of stroke play at the U.S. Women’s Amateur, to be played Aug. 5-6 at Old Waverly Golf Club in West Point, Miss. After stroke play, the field will be cut to the low 64 players as the format changes to match play.
