After paring the 15th hole, Grant’s lead was unassailable. Now awaits the quarter-final against the Swiss Albane Valenzuela.
— I hit many nice wedge shots into the greens. The par 3s were solid. The par 5s are not that long and can be birdied on. I tried not to think about the score so much, but more about hitting the best shots possible, Grant told the LPGA tour’s website.
She continues:
— It was a good game from both me and Daniela. It was a really good match.
For the other two Swedes in the round of 16, things did not go as well. Maja Stark fell to the Japanese Ayaka Furue, while Anna Nordqvist was defeated by Grant’s future opponent Albane Valenzuela.
