Only four players are left from the starting field of 156 golfers at Bandon Dunes, and there’s plenty on the line Saturday. A spot in the 36-hole championship match on Sunday. Exemptions into the U.S. Women’s Open, too. Oh, and the chance to hoist the Robert Cox Trophy come Sunday evening.
Missourians Brooke Biermann and Lyla Louderbaugh will battle in the first semifinal while Australian Ella Scaysbrook will take on world No. 11 Megha Ganne in the second. Another windy day is on tap on the Pacific coast of Oregon, so who’s going to come out on top?
