Bandon, Ore. – If one needed some indication of what to expect from the last game of Thursday morning with the amateur of American women, the only thing needed to view the first hole.
On the third shot of Megha Ganne’s Ronde-van-32 match against colleague All-American and Good Pal Anna Davis, Ganne drew 9-iron from 120 meters out Bandon Dunes‘First hole, it flowed perfectly in the fan and watched while the ball disappeared in the hole for Eagle.
Davis did her best to match, where she raised her approach to 6 centimeters, but the gap was that of Ganne.
“A bit of a crazy start,” said Ganne.
Do you think?
It was not surprising considering the login details of both players. Ganne, an emerging senior at Stanford, is a double first team All-American and ranked no. 11 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. Davis, an Auburn junior with a few second team awards under her belt, is no. 14 in the world. Both played in the largest stages, including in team competitions such as the Curtis Cup and Arnold Palmer Cup.
Despite their close relationship, this was the first official matchup of Ganne and Davis.
“We were not really looking forward to playing each other because we are such good friends,” said Ganne, “but I thought it brought a lot of great golders of both of us.”
Ganne knew that the Funsteels gifted Davis would not offer much opening through errors, Ganne knew she had to be aggressive. The stars exchanged early, because there was no fixed hole until the sixth. Ganne, 1 after three, remained 1 with a grouse up and down par-rescue of the fescue at the Par-4 Fifth, where she rolled into a 20-footer.
Davis tied the game with a Birdie on the par-4 eighth, although Ganne bounced back by winning the next three holes, including the par-4 10th of 7 Feet and the Par-4 11th, where she came in for Birdie.
Davis did not leave and dived the Par-13th to get a hole back. But in the end Ganne proved too much, and she almost ended her game how she started it, and scored the gap from 50 meters on the Korte, Par-4 16th.
Five feet later, and Ganne went on to the round of Thursday afternoon of 16, where she is confronted with another talented opponent, World No. 20 Kary Hollenbaugh.
