 Only two days remaining in the Birchmont as we're getting down to the best of the best. Four golfers entered today in the women's tournament and eight in the men's past champions in the field. Those who were just short in years past all vying for a coveted spot on championship Saturday. Sunny skies for today's competition will start with the women. Annie Nelson taking on Haley Toilette to let trying to roll in a birdie just off the green on the 12th hole. Gets it right up there close. She would win the hole to move three up, but she wasn't done trying for a birdie on the 13th. Good line, good pace. She would beat Nelson four and three. In the other semi final matchup, Emily Israel sin taking on Abbey Calum. Israel sin with her approach on 10, sticks it to about 15 feet. She too putt to win the hole and moved six up on the par 311s. Looks like she finally might make a bogey, but she drains the par putt. Just sneaks in there. She cruises over count to take it 7 and 6. So it's to let and Israel sin in the finals. They've met before in the past in this tournament. Haley winning in 2015 and Emily winning the matchup in 2014. Israel sin won the whole thing in 2016 while to let has lost to Katie sheets in the 2015 finals on the men's side. Everyone in the field trying to take down the two time defending champ Andrew Israel sin meant Scarborough had that challenge today, but Izzy was just too much for him. He cozy did up on the 10th and win the match five and three. Danny Menton took on Toby Paul Massino. Menton with a one shot lead on 18. The approach looking for just something on the dance floor clutch. He wins the match one up to move to move on to the semi or yet the semi finals. Nick Schaefer taking on Jim Foss. Foss looked for his third straight finals appearance, but Schaefer the 2015 champ was too much birdie here. He wins it two and one. He won the match of the day. Chris Curve against Lucas Johnson. Curve rolling in the birdie on seven to get back to two down. He would build a two shot lead on the back nine, but Johnson with the eagle on 15. Sinks it to take a one shot lead. But Johnson would bogey on 18 and then he bogeys the first playoff hole. This was for par. Curve gets to win and advances. The men play both their semi finals and finals tomorrow with the semis team off bright and early. Chris Curve will try and become the first man to win in three straight years since Russ Simonson did it back in the late 1980s.
