Courtesy: Tim CowieSPRINGFIELD, Pa. -- Following two days of stroke play qualifying at the U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship at the Rolling Green Golf Club in Springfield, Pa., two Duke golfers – Celine Boutier and Virginia Elena Carta -- advanced to match play following top 39 finishes.
After carding a three-over-par, 74, on day one, Carta came back to fire a three-under-par, 68, Tuesday, which featured four back-nine birdies. Carta, who hails from Udine, Italy, collected four birdies over a span of six holes (13-18). This included birdies on No. 15, No. 17 and No. 18. She suffered back-to-back bogeys on No. 2 and No. 3, but came back to play the final 16 holes at five-under-par.
