LPGA Tour professional Morgan Pressel will take on the longer hitting Sophie Gustafson in the second round. Pressel proved herself yesterday by making birdies on 17 and 18 to come back and defeat Jimin Kang. Gustafson easily handled Na On Min averaging 261.6 yards off the tee. Pressel averages 242.1 yards. Statistically, Pressel holds the advantage in putting, ranking 6th in putting average to Gustafson’s T99 although Gustafson has a good history at Hamilton Farm Golf Club. She advanced to the quarter finals of the HSBC Match Play contest at Hamilton Farm in 2005 and 2006. Pressel has the experience with match-play after winning numerous amateur match-play tournaments, including the 2005 U.S. Amateur.
Pressel & Gustafson will kick off second round play today, teeing off at 10:30 a.m. off of Hole #1.
