15 year old Erynne Lee, a soon to be sophomore at Central Kitsap High School in Silverdale, has played her way into the quarterfinals at the U.S. Women's Amateur being played at the Eugene Country Club.  With 1-up wins in both the rounds of 32 and and 16 on Thursday, she has given herself a legitimate chance to win, and assured herself of a finish no worse than 8th.  Pretty heady stuff for a high school sophomore.  Good luck young lady, the evergreen state is pullin' for ya'.
