And then there were four…

The North & South Women’s championship began Friday with 16 potential contenders. 36 holes later, the field is down to four.

The 118th edition of the North & South Women’s Amateur saw just one upset in the quarterfinal round. Medalist and overall one-seed Ivy Shepherd snuck past Gina Kim 1 up and cruised by Megan Schofill 4 & 3 to set up a semifinal match up with Southern Cal’s Allisen Corpuz.

Corpuz, the 2019 medalist at the North & South Women’s Amateur, looks to make up for last year’s early exit. Winning her quarterfinal match against 2016 North & South Junior Champ, Lauren Beaudreau 1 up, Corpuz is two wins away from glory.

Rachel Kuehn was 2 down as she and No. 2 seeded Rachel Heck stood on the 15th tee. Nearly making an ace, Kuehn began her comeback, winning in 20 holes. She will face Haylin Harris who won her Round of 32 match 3 & 1 before beating top-ranked Emilia Migliaccio 4 & 3 to advance to the semifinals.

The semifinal matches begin at 7:00 am ET with the winners moving on to play for the Putter Boy trophy in the afternoon.

ABOUT THE North & South Women's Amateur

The Women's North & South has drawn the top amateur women from around the country. Three rounds of stroke play followed by four rounds of match play will determine the Champion.

The 96 player field will be cut to a 16 player match play field and medalist honors. All stroke & match play rounds will be contested on Pinehurst No. 2. The top 16 players who qualify for match play will play two rounds a day until our champion is determined.

Nine of the last 12 North & South Women’s Amateur champions have drawn paychecks as members of the LPGA Tour. The equation is near perfect. Win the North & South Am, go on to professional success at the highest level.
