On Friday afternoon along the Oregon coast, a group of cadas gathered in Arcade tavern, a favorite watering hole for close loopers Bandon Dunes Resort Golf. The wind was screaming from the water, and the quarter -finals of the quarter US Women’s Amateur Championship It was appearing directly from the bandon on a TV behind the bar.
“The beer man! This is which I am rooting for,” said one of the cades, raising a wet glass like a blonde hair golf appeared on the camera. Some of his friends turned him toast.
“Man of beer! I want that name!” Said another. “Go beer man!”
They were referring to Brooke Biermann, 22, by Wildwood, Mo., who was in a secure match against Hong Kong Arianna Lau. Shortly afterwards, Caddies received their desire when Biermann, a recent graduate at Michigan State University, issued a 3-and-2 win.
“Really? That’s funny,” Biermann said when it was told about its local fan base.
Although her surname is truly pronounced by beer, Biermann said she was not sure about her origin. Was there any connection to beer?
“I have no idea. I just know it’s German,” Biermann said. “You will have to ask my dad.”
That would be Bill Biermann, a lawyer and municipal judge who was in his daughter’s bag this week.
“Good question,” Elder Biermann said, smiling. “I just know it’s not Italian.”
The win for the Biermann team creates a comprehensive state semi -final match against Lyla Louderbaugh, 20, from Buffalo, Mo. The other semifinal match will dig 19-year-old Ella Scaysbrook of Australia against Stanford Rising the elderly Megha Ganne of Holmdel, one
Here’s what you need to know by going to Saturday’s action, which will be transmitted directly Golf on 3 afternoons.
An Aussie is feeling well at home
Golf in Bandon Dunes is often compared to Golf in Scotland, but Scaysbrook said the course remembers her under appearances where she learned the game, especially Melbourne Sandbel’s courses. “It’S’S’S strong, fiery, a lot of smell,” she said. “Much like what we see in Australia.” She is looking comfortable most of the week. Since appearing in the game of match as the 63rd seeds, Scaysbrook has knocked down a pair of Cupppers – Asterisk Talley and Jasmine Koo. None of her matches has made her pass the 15th hole.
Ganne is again in it
Megha Ganne from Stanford made a national name for herself playing her way to the latest group of 2021 US Open at the Olympic club. But she has long been an amateur Stalwart and she has come to the American women’s amateur before. This was in 2019 when she did it in the championship semifinal as 15 years old. This time, her route to the semifinals has not been easy. Over the past two days, she has knocked three amateurs of the very range: Kaleiya Romero, Anna Davis and Kary Hollenbaugh.
Local knowledge counts
Location, location, location. It is important in real estate. And also looping. In seven of the eight USGA championships held in the bandon Dunes, a Caddy Resort Bandon has made it in the final. Robin Oliver is now trying to make it eight out of nine. Veteran Looper bandon is in the louderbaugh bag, which marked the biggest concern of the day by beating amateur no. 1 of women Kiara Romero (Kaleiya’s younger sister) in 20 holes.
Mother Nature has a saying
After calm conditions (and a round of record setting) at the beginning of the week, the bandon dunes was taken with a beast on Friday, with 30 miles per hour gusts from the water. Holes playing as a driver aircraft on Tuesday sought access to the Fairway-Wood during the quarter final. The current forecast requires more the same for Saturday’s semi -final matches.
