Emilia Migliaccio was the last player to punch her ticket to the quarterfinals of the U.S. Women’s Amateur. Her reward? A matchup with the defending champion.
The Wake Forest senior needed 22 holes to dispatch of Auburn sophomore Megan Schofill on Friday afternoon at Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, Maryland. Despite her match-play pedigree – she is now 29-9-2 in the format since 2016 – Migliaccio said she had never been in extra holes before.
But after Schofill nearly eagled the par-4 18th hole (and Migliaccio matched her birdie with a clutch putt), Migliaccio found herself in overtime.
