LEE (14) v DEWHURST IN AUSSIE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL

Western Australia’s Minjee Lee became one of the youngest players to make the Srixon Australian Amateur Championship final where she will face Tasmanian Ashlee Dewhurst on Wednesday.
Fourteen-year old Lee completed her advance to the finals with an outstanding 6 and 5 win over World Number 1 amateur Cecilia Cho at Victoria Golf Club, Melbourne.
Lee defeated Korean Su-Hyun Oh in the morning quarter finals before setting out on her toughest task to date against Cho in the afternoon.
“I had some nerves at the start and did struggle over the first few holes,” Lee said.
“But after that I got going, played pretty solid, made the pars I needed to and took the birdie opportunities.”
“I haven’t played Ashlee before in match play but we’ve played together in stroke play so I’m looking forward to it,” she added.
Dewhurst claimed the other major win of the day, defeating new Srixon Australian Women’s Stroke Play champion Lydia Ko in the morning quarter final 2 and 1.
The Tasmanian then defeated National Squad member Jessica Speechley 2 and 1 in the semi-final to make her way into today's 36-hole final.
