Former Michigan State women's golfer Brooke Biermann outlasted Kansas junior Lyla Louderbaugh in 19 holes on Saturday, Aug. 8, to advance to the 125th U.S. Women's Amateur final at Bandon Dunes Golf Course in Bandon, Oregon.

B ANDON, Ore. -- Megha Ganne won three straight holes against mistake-prone Brooke Biermann and was never seriously threatened on her way to winning her first USGA title Sunday with a 4-and-3 victory in the U.S. Women's Amateur.

The 21-year-old from New Jersey has done plenty of winning in her golf career. She has won over and over as a junior and amateur golfer. She has been destined for stardom since the first time her coach, Katie Rudolph, saw her swing a club on the range at Galloping Hills in New Jersey, where Ganne was in the crowd at a girls golf clinic.
