Live scoring and updates from the 2025 U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur at The Homestead.
Tuesday at The Homestead delivered marquee matchups and dramatic swings as the 63rd U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur field was trimmed to the quarterfinals. In two headline duels of past winners, Nadene Gole outlasted Ellen Port, while Sarah Gallagher eliminated three-time champion Lara Tennant.
Gole, the defending champion from Australia, showed trademark resilience. After falling 2 down early, she clawed back on the inward nine and sealed her 2-up victory over Port with a steady par on the 18th. Gallagher, the 2023 champion, edged Tennant 2 up, regaining the lead with a birdie on the 14th and closing it out on the final green. Shelly Stouffer, the 2022 winner from Canada, also advanced, defeating Marie Arnoux of France, 1 up.
Match play continues Wednesday with the quarterfinals at 8 a.m. EDT followed by the semifinals at 1:30 and 1:45 p.m. The championship match is scheduled for Thursday morning at 9 a.m.
“Today’s been a game of patience… Ellen’s always a tough match. We started off a bit scrappy, but I just got her there on the last hole.” — Nadene Gole
“I kind of expected her to make everything… I just kept that attitude all day and tried to be really patient.” — Sarah Gallagher

A classic mountain layout opened in 1923, the Cascades emphasizes angles and elevation control more than raw length. Both nines crescendo with par-5s followed by par-3 finishers, a recipe for late drama in stroke play and match play alike.
