Creed earns spot in match play at Women's Public Links Championship
ERIN, WA – After a bumpy opening round a day earlier, UNC Greensboro’s Erica Creed responded Tuesday with a 76 to earn a place in the match play phase at the United States Women’s Amateur Public Links Championship at Erin Hills Golf Club.
Creed, a native of Kernersville, NC who will be a sophomore next year, carded her 76 to finish tied for 27th in the 151-player field. A total of 64 players are bracketed into the match play phase beginning Wednesday. However, tiebreakers were still being settled late Tuesday and pairings had not yet been set. An eight-way tie for the last seven spots was settled shortly after 9 pm local time (central) to get down to the 64-player field.
As was the case on Monday when she shot a 79, the front nine was not kind to Creed. She shot a 40 on the front side with four bogeys and five pars on Tuesday. However, on a day when only five sub-par rounds were recorded amidst the 151 players, a birdie on No. 10 and eight consecutive pars sent Creed to the round of 64, marking the second straight year a Spartan advanced to match play at the event. Last year, Ashley Mylton advanced to the match play phase before being knocked out in the opening round.
Links to match play pairings and live scoring for Wednesday’s action will be available at UNCGSpartans.com.
