08/10/2008 - Eugene, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Amanda Blumenherst grabbed her first lead on the 31st hole and held off Azahara Munoz for a 2 & 1 win at the 108th U.S. Women's Amateur at Eugene Country Club.
Blumenherst, last year's runner-up, got up and down for par on the 35th hole to seal the match after Munoz missed an eight-foot birdie putt.
The 21-year-old Blumenherst is the first collegian to win this trophy since Virada Nirapathpongporn in 2003.
"I never got frustrated. I just kept with it," Blumenherst said. "Azahara didn't really make any mistakes and I was playing well. My putting kind of started off a little shaky, but I stayed strong and stayed patient with it. My coach told me to stay patient all day and it'll win it for you and it did."
Munoz had a 2-up lead twice on the first 18 holes and they both came on the front nine. Blumenherst rallied to square the match as she rolled in a 14-foot birdie putt on the par-four 15th.
The 20-year-old Munoz made par at the last to take a 1-up lead into the afternoon 18. Blumenherst was unable to get up and down for par on the 19th to fall 2-down for the third time.
Blumenherst kicked in a short birdie putt on the 21st, but Munoz chipped in for birdie on the 23rd to take a 2-up lead for the fourth and final time.
Munoz, the 2008 NCAA Individual champion, missed a four-foot par putt at the next as her lead dropped to 1-up. The duo halved the next three holes, before Blumenherst made her move.
The three-time All-American from Duke sank a seven-foot birdie putt on the 28th hole to square the match. Blumenherst got up and down for par on the par- five 31st and that was enough for the win as Munoz made a mess of the hole, walking off with a bogey.
Blumenherst two-putted for birdie on the par-five 34th to push her advantage to 2-up after Munoz missed a 20-foot birdie try. On the 35th, Blumenherst got up and down for par from a greenside bunker to seal the win.
"Last year I played great the whole tournament, I just rushed the last match. I pushed where I didn't need to," explained Blumenherst. "This year, I was just patient and was able to give it my best. I definitely got nervous late in the match. But I'm really confident in my sand game and I took a deep breath and got it done."

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
