Chen and Korda survive in U.S. Women's Amateur

Doris Chen, fresh off her victory in the U.S. Girls' Junior Championship, advance from her first round match in the U.S. Women's Amateur on Wednesday.

Chen joined Jessica Korda as the lone area survivors after the first day of match play.

Argentina's Victoria Tanco, who is a Pendleton School at IMG Academies student, along with Ai Miyazawa were eliminated.

The tournament is scheduled to conclude August 15 at Charlotte (N.C.) Country Club.

Cole exits in quarterfinals

Spencer Cole was eliminated this past weekend in the FSGA's Amateur Match Play Championship.

Cole was the last remaining area golfer in the field, before Tequesta's Gabriel Costa knocked him out in the quarterfinals.

Costa defeated Cole 1-up and ended up as the runner-up.

Cole last area survivor in Match Play

Bradenton's Spencer Cole was the last area player left standing after the first day of the FSGA's Amateur Match Play Championship.

Cole won two matches Friday to advance to Saturday's Round of 16 showdown with Tequesta's Brant Peaper.

That match is scheduled to begin at 8:40 a.m.

Tory Henderson and Nicholas Mullhaupt, both of Bradenton, were eliminated in the Round of 64.

The 19th edition of the tournament resumes Saturday and wraps up with Sunday's championship match slated for 12:30 p.m.

Players will play two matches Saturday - the Round of 16 and Quarterfinals - before the semifinals begin Sunday morning.

Tanco in SI

IMG Academies golfer Victoria Tanco is featured in this week's edition of Sports Illustrated.

The 16-year-old Tanco is one of 16 athletes listed in SI's Where Will They Be? portion of the magazine.

Tanco hails from Argentina and played in this year's U.S. Women's Open for the third time and is the reigning two-time AJGA Player of the Year.

"When Tiger gets ahead by two, he pushes it to five," Tanco's coach, Kevin Collins, said in SI's article. "She seems to have that type of an edge to her. When she really needs to put together a score to win a tournament, she's able to do it."

FSGA Match Play bracket announced

The 19th Florida State Amateur Match Play Championship pairings are set.

Bradenton's Spencer Cole, Tory Henderson and Nicholas Mullhaupt are all competing.

Cole faces Orlando's Anthony Martire, Henderson plays Alexander Medinis of Fort Myers and Mullhaupt meets Windemere's Nicolas Donaldson.

The Round of 64 begins Friday and concludes with Sunday's championship match.

The tournament is being held at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Jupiter.

Freak accident forces Allenby out of PGA Championship

Robert Allenby's recent accident away from the golf course came at a crucial point in the 2010 schedule.

Now the Australian golfer will miss three weeks, including this week's PGA Tour stop and next week's PGA Championship - the final major of the season - according to various reports.

Allenby is reported to have torn ligaments in his knee after slipping on the deck of his boat while fishing in the Bahamas.

"I was so ready to go," Allenby told the Associated Press from his home in Jupiter, Fla. "I had two weeks of working out at home, pounding it in the gym, pounding golf balls ... and bang! Just a day of fishing. I thought that would be nice, get some lobster on the way home. Very depressing."

Korda's season isn't over just yet

Jessica Korda has had a busy summer.

With stops at the U.S. Women's Open and part of the winning American team at the Curtis Cup, how could the schedule be any less than jam-packed?

Yet Korda played in the West Florida Golf Tour's tournament this past Monday at the Ritz-Carlton Members Golf Club.

She carded a 3-under 69 in showcasing her blossoming game.

The WFGT is the lone mini-tour that concludes its season with the Tour Championship in November at the Ritz-Carlton Members Golf Club.
