Australian Caitlin Peirce has survived a tight encounter against Canadian Savannah Grewel to advance to the second round of the US Women’s Amateur Championship at the Bel Air Country Club in Los Angeles.

South Australian, Peirce, rallied from a two-hole deficit through ten holes to win with a par at the final hole of their 18-hole match and she now heads to the Round of 32.

Peirce’s next opponent has yet to be decided, the match-up between Thailand’s Thanana Kotchasanmanee and American Casey Weidenfeld, the last encounter of the day, still undecided through 22 holes and carried over until Thursday US time.
