She plays the defending champion, a Brit, tomorrow.
In the other semi, Annabell Fuller, an entering freshman at Florida by way of England, meets Emile Alba Paltrinieri, a sophomore UCLA by way of Italy.
Krauter is the World Amateur champion. Beat the defending champ in the morning semis and the Florida's Annabell Fuller in the final.
Down three after four, Krauter won six of the next eight holes.
Up three with three to play, she lost 16 and 17 but halved 18 for the title.
Krauter's win comes with four great perks. It qualifies her for three majors--The US Women's Open, Women's British Open, and The Evian Masters--and for the Augusta National Women's Amateur.
Which means she gets to play Champions (Houston, 2020 US Open this December, or Olympic for the 2021 Open next summer), Carnoustie, The Evian Resort Course and Augusta National, with the world's best players. This makes this a great win for Ms. Krauter.
Worth nothing that '21 Rose Zhang also is certain, or likely, to be invited to those four events.
