Queensland’s Sarah Hammett is the only Australian to have made it into the match-play phase of the US Junior Championships at the El Caballero Country Club in Tarzana in California.
The 17-year-old from the Emerald Lakes Golf Club on the Gold Coast added a second round of 68 to finish as the 17th qualifier in the 36 holes of match play and will now take on the 48th qualifier, Lisa Copeland of Illinois, in the round of 64 tomorrow.
Hammett begins a collegiate career at the University of Southern California in 2025 but this week she looks to join her fellow Australian Minjee Lee as a winner of this prestigious junior event.
