The 19-year-old, making her debut in the premier amateur event, produced another commanding performance to defeat Canada\u2019s Taylor Kehoe 5 and 4 in Friday\u2019s quarter-final (U.S time).<\/p>\n
The match\u2019s standout moment came at the par-5 9th hole, where Scaysbrook holed a remarkable 50-foot putt which broke two feet before dropping into the centre of the cup.<\/p>\n
Scaysbrook, the No. 63 seed in the 156-player field, has been in irresistible form all week. She opened with rounds of 74-71 in stroke play to secure her spot in match play, then swept aside her early opponents – American Asterisk Talley 6 and 4 in the round of 64, Avery Weed 4 and 3 in the round of 32, and Jasmine Koo 4 and 3 in the round of 16 – before dismantling Kehoe, the 23rd seed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is my first U.S Women\u2019s Amateur, so I\u2019m just proud I\u2019ve made it this far,\u201d Scaysbrook said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI try to stay in the present. Just go out tomorrow and see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Golf NSW state team member and Golf Australia High Performance squad representative has already enjoyed a strong season, winning the 2025 Avondale Bowl and finishing runner-up at the Australian Master of the Amateurs.<\/p>\n
Scaysbrook\u2019s next challenge comes in Saturday\u2019s semi-final (U.S time) against 11th seed Megha Ganne, who beat Eila Galitsky 2 and 1 in their quarter-final. The two winners will advance to Sunday\u2019s championship match, potentially capping a week in which the finalists will have played upwards of 150 competitive holes.<\/p>\n
Having cut her teeth on Australia\u2019s famed Sandbelt courses, Scaysbrook said she has felt right at home on the links-style Bandon Dunes layout.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re very similar golf courses to Melbourne and even South Australia,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
