Defending champion Kim Shin of Mill Creek, WA, coasted through her first two matches at the PNGA Women's Amateur Championship Wednesday. Shin overcame Oregon's Jacqueline Olson 7&5 in the morning then closed out Idaho's Carissa Simmons 4&3 in the afternoon. She will now face Boise's Madeleine Sheils in tomorrow's quarterfinal. Last year's runner-up Jessi Gebhardt defeated Paige Rachor 4&3 in an all-Bellingham encounter in the morning but lost 3&2 in the afternoon to Jessica Black of Bend, OR. Anya Tanpinco, the reigning Philippine Amateur champion and PNGA Presidential Invitee for this championship, won her first two matches - 4&2 over Flora Weeks of Seattle, WA, and 2&1 over Bambee de la Paz of Cincinnati, Ohio respectively. Tanpinco's quarterfinal opponent will be fellow countrywoman Chihiro Ikeda who is also playing on a Presidential Invitation from the PNGA. Portland's Charisse Spada, medalist in the qualifying rounds for the PNGA Women's Mid-Amateur, won her first round match 5&4 over veteran Ann Swanson of Redmond, WA.
