Perhaps I had too much sun, I don\u2019t know? I was better in the morning but even when I started my warm-up I wasn\u2019t great. I got some electrolytes in my water and that seemed to help me. I\u2019m proud of myself for getting through.\u201d<br \/>\nDogged determination<br \/>\nHer showdown with Brent-Petersen was a friendly but eagerly-fought affair and Andersen was rewarded for her dogged determination as the pendulum swung on the closing stretch.<br \/>\nTwo down at the turn, Andersen kept plugging away and when she holed a ten-footer for birdie on the 16th, the match was all-square.<br \/>\nAndersen inched ahead on the 17th \u2013 the first time she\u2019d been in front since the 5th \u2013 with an up-and-down from the bunker and sealed the deal on the last as Brent-Petersen found trouble with her drive and had to chip out sideways.<br \/>\nAndersen is staying with Brent-Petersen and her mum this week. She may have to find alternative accommodation after scuppering her friend\u2019s title ambitions.<br \/>\nSupport network<br \/>\n\u201cThey are a great support and it\u2019s hard to beat a good friend,\u201d said Andersen. \u201cI played Benedicte in a tournament last month in Demark and she beat me 4&amp;3. This was a little bit of revenge.\u201d<br \/>\nAndersen will now face Spain\u2019s Nagore Martinez, who beat her compatriot Adriana Garcia Terol by a 4&amp;3 margin. Charlotte Naughton came through a tense tie with her England team-mate, Annabel Peaford, and won on the 20th hole.<br \/>\nNaughton, who won the German Girls\u2019 International Amateur Championship earlier this season, will face a stern test against France\u2019s Melliyal Schmitt, a two-hole winner over England\u2019s Ellie Lichtenhein. The remaining quarter-final match will see Lily Reitter of France square up to Sweden\u2019s Olivia Holmberg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 18-year-old beat her good friend, travelling companion and the number one seed, Benedicte Brent-Petersen, in an all-Danish&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":64668,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-68786","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68786","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68786"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68786\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
