07/21/2010 - Village of Pinehurst, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Stroke play medalist Danielle Kang squeezed past 17-year-old Colombian Alejandra Cangrejo, 1-up, in the first round of match play Wednesday at the U.S. Girls' Junior Championship.

Kang, of Thousand Oaks, California, had a par on the par-5 18th hole at The Country Club of North Carolina. Cangrejo hit her tee shot into a tree and scored a double-bogey on the hole. Kang was rewarded with a 7:30 a.m. (et) tee time for a second-round encounter against Kelli Oride on Thursday. Oride, of Lihue, Hawaii, fought off Colins Bradshaw by winning the 19th hole.

There were a few upsets as Haley Andreas defeated Jaye Marie Green, 2 & 1, while Doris Chen squeezed past Jisoo Keel by the same count.

Kristen Park, the 2007 U.S. Girls' Junior champion, eased past Alexandra Newell, 4 & 3.

Mariko Tumangan of San Jose, California, had a hole-in-one and eased past Marissa Dodd, 8 & 6.

"There's a lot less pressure," said Tumangan. "The first and second days are nerve-wracking - you need to play well in order to qualify. But match play is fun. It's a whole different game."

The second and third rounds of match play are set for Thursday. The quarterfinal and semifinal matches will be played Friday, and the 36-hole championship final is slated for Saturday.
