The second round of the Jones-Doherty Challenge Cup was a bad one for GB and I Curtis Cup team contenders in this week's Orange Blossom Tour compeition at Coral Ridge Country Club, Lauderdale in Florida.
Woodhall Spa's Holly Clyburnk, who played in the 2010 match against the Americans, lost at the 20th to Meghan Stasi, twice winner of the US women's mid-amateur title and beaten at the 19th by Kelsey MacDonald in the semi-finals of the 2010 British women's amateur championship at Ganton.
And Kelsey, desperate to make her Curtis Cup debut in her home town of Nairn in the June 8-10 match, lost heavily by 6 and 4 to Annie Dulman, an 18-year-old American whose name means nothing on this side of the Atlantic but who turned in a brilliant display against MacDonald.
Kelsey had a match-play tiger by the tail because her opponent was approximately six under par for the holes played!
In the quarter-finals Stasi will play the defending champion, 15-year-old Charley Hull (Woburn) from Kettering. Hull had a 3 and 2 win over E Gimpel in the second round. Hull, like Kelsey's conqueror, was six under par, this time for 16 holes.
The only other British player in the last eight is European women's universities champion and Stirling student Harriet Beasley (Woburn). She beat Daniela Lendl, one of Ivan Lendl's golfing daughters, by 2 and 1 and now plays American M Lui, surprise conqueror of Scottish girls champion Eilidh Briggs (Kilmacolm and Stirling Univerity).
Briggs lost by 4 and 3.
In the first flight competition for first-round losers, Jordana Graham (Southerness and Stirling University) beat M West by 2 and 1 to enter the quarter-finals but team-mate Rebecca Wilson (Grange, Monifieth) lost by one hole to J Carmichael.
Another Stirling student, Mhairi McKay (West Kilbride), who did not qualify for the championship match-play flight, is through to the semi-finals of the Second Flight. She had a one-hole win over D Proctor.

STASI'S BIRDIE BEATS CLYBURN AT 20th
IN QUALITY MATCH

FROM THE FLORIDA SUN SENTINEL
By Gary Curreri
Fort Lauderdale— Oakland Park's Meghan Stasi needed two extra holes, but pulled out a victory over England 2010 Curtis Cup member Holly Clyburn in the 80th annual Ione D. Jones/Doherty Women's Amateur Championship at the Coral Ridge Country Club on Wednesday afternoon.
It looked like Stasi, 33, would win her match on the 18th hole after she chipped in for a birdie from 15 feet away. Clyburn, 20, answered with a 10-foot birdie putt to extend the match. They both parred the 19th hole before Stasi drained a 10-foot birdie putt on the 20th hole for the win.
"We knew it was going to be a tough match going into it," said Stasi, who will face defending champion, Charley Hull (Northamptonshire, England) in Thursday's quarter-finals.
"Win or lose, you want to play well. Charley has been playing amazing and it should be a fun match."
The 15-year-old Hull, who is ranked sixth in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, was six-under par after 16-holes and coasted to a 3 and 2 victory over Emily Gimpel (Lafayette, Penn).
"I left a few putts out there today," said Hull, who won the Harder Hall and placed third in the South Atlantic Ladies Amateur Championship tournament in the past two weeks.
Monday's medallist, Boca Raton's Kailey Walsh, 18, won her match 1-up over Paloma Nunez (Granbury, Texas), while Boca Raton's Jaye Marie Green, 17, who recently moved to No. 1 in the Golfweek/amateurgolf.com women's player rankings, also won her match and will face Palm Beach Gardens' Annie Dulman, 18, in another quarter-final match.
