Duke sophomore Jaravee Boonchant went 19 holes to beat Augusta National Women’s Amateur champion Jennifer Kupcho. Siyun Liu of Wake Forest kept alive her team’s hopes by winning in 20 holes.
Wang was 2 down with six holes to go against Letizia Bagnoli, tied the match with a birdie on the 15th and won on the second extra hole when Bagnoli pulled her second shot into the water.
