VERO BEACH, Fla. – Minnesota golf Hall of Famer Leigh Klasse, who is making her ninth consecutive appearance at the U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur Championship, took an early 2-up lead against Amy Ellertson early Tuesday and never trailed in her Round of 32 match, earning a 2 and 1 victory to advance to the Round of 16 at Orchid Island Beach and Golf Club.
Klasse, from Cumberland, Wis., took control against Ellertson by winning the second and fourth holes before Ellertson struck back by winning the sixth with a par. Winning the par-3 eighth hole, Klasse regained a 2-up lead and carried it to the back nine.
Taking advantage of a Klasse bogey at the par-4 10th, Ellertson cut Klasse’s margin in half before the two traded blows again at the 13th and 14th holes. A bogey by Ellertson at the 17th would give Klasse the victory, 2 and 1.
Klasse will face Corey Weworski, from Carlsbad, Calif., in the Round of 16 during Tuesday’s afternoon matches, scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m. at Orchid Island Beach and Golf Club.
