CHARLOTTE, N.C. - University of Alabama women's golfer Jennifer Kirby fell to Danielle Kang 1 up in the semifinal round of the 2010 U.S. Women's Amateur on Saturday at Charlotte Country Club.
Kirby made a valiant comeback, staving off elimination with birdies on holes 16 & 17. However, her 20 foot birdie putt at the last hole came up short, allowing Kang to tie the hole and win the match.
Kirby won holes No. 3 & 4 to take an early 1 up lead in the match. Kang won holes No. 7, 8, 11 and 14 before Kirby's late rally.
Kirby will tee it up next on Sept. 13 when the Alabama women's golf team travels to Bryan, Texas, for the NCAA Fall Preview at Traditions Golf Club.
