The first round of match play Thursday at the U.S. Women’s Amateur provided plenty of good headlines.
Medalist Rachel Heck advanced to the second round for the first time.
Defending champion Gabriela Ruffels kept her hopes of back-to-back titles alive.
Wake Forest teammates Rachel Kuehn and Emilia Migliaccio each won, while Michigan State teammates Valery Plata and Haylin Harris had to play each other, with Plata coming away with the victory.
