It wasn't as long as the 30-hole match between Chia Yen Wu and Lauren Stephenson two years ago, but Thursday's Round-of-16 bout between Andrea Lee and Alexa Pano at the U.S. Women's Amateur was quite the marathon showing.
Lee sunk a birdie on the final hole of regulation to force extra holes and continued to hang with the red-hot Pano until taking her first lead of the match with a winning par on the 23rd hole at Old Waverly Club in West Point, Miss.
Pano found a brutal lie off the tee on the second trip to the par-4 fifth hole and was forced to wedge out of the thick, left rough.
