Bandon’s caddies find a favorite at Women’s AM: “Go beer man!”

Friday afternoon along the coast of Oregon, a group of caddies gathered at the Arcade Tavern, a favorite water hole for the loopers of the Golf Bandon Dunes nearby. The wind was screaming water, and the quarter -finals of the American amateur amateur championship project live from Bandon on a television behind the bar.

“Beer Man! It’s for whom I am rooted,” said one of the caddies, raising a glass of blonde beer like a blond hair golfer appeared to the camera. Several of his friends made the Toast.

“Beer man! Like this name!” Said another. “Go beer man!”

They referred to Brooke Biermann, 22, from Wildwood, Missouri, who was in a tense match against Arianna Lau of Hong Kong. Shortly after, the Caddies obtained their wish when Biermann, a recent graduate of Michigan State University, emptied a 3 and 2 victory.

“Really? It’s funny,” said Biermann when he was informed of his local fans base.

Although her family name was indeed pronounced Beer-Man, Biermann said that she was not sure of her origins. Did it have something to do with beer?

“I have no idea. I just know it’s German,” said Biermann. “You should ask my father.”

It would be Bill Biermann, a lawyer and municipal judge who was in his daughter’s bag this week.

“Good question,” said the elder Biermann smiling. “I just know it’s not Italian.”

The victory of the Biermann team implemented a semi-final match of Me against Lyla Louderbaugh, 20, from Buffalo, Missouri.

Here is what you need to know before Saturday’s action, which will be broadcast live on Golf Channel at 3 p.m. HE.

An Australian feels at home

Golf in Bandon Dunes is often compared to Golf in Scotland, but Scaysbrook declared that the route reminded her of the provisions at the bottom of the arrangement where she learned the game, in particular the courses of the Melbourne sand belt. “It’s firm, inflatable, a lot of wind,” she said. “A bit like what we see in Australia.” She looks comfortable most of the week. Since the game game as 63rd seeded, Scaysbrook has eliminated a pair of Curtis – Asterisk Talley and Jasmine Koo cups. None of his games exceeded the 15th hole.

Ganne is again

Megha Ganne de Stanford made a national name by playing his way in the last group of the US Open 2021 at the Olympic Club. But she has long been an amateur pillar and she got closer to the lover of American women before. It was in 2019 when she arrived at the championship semi-finals at the age of 15. This time, its route to the semi-finals was not easy. In the past two days, she has eliminated three very classified amateurs: Kaleiya Romero, Anna Davis and Kary Hollenbaugh.

Local knowledge account

Location, location, location. It is important in real estate. And in a loop too. In seven of the eight USGA championships that held in Bandon Dunes, a Caddy de Bandon Resort reached the final. Robin Oliver is now trying to make eight of the nine. The veteran Bandon Looper is on the bag of Louderbaugh, which won the greatest upheaval of the day by beating the world n ° 1, the female amateur Kiara Romero (the younger sister of Kaleiya) in 20 holes.

Mother nature has her say

After calm conditions (and a record lap) at the start of the week, Bandon Dunes turned into a beast on Friday, with gusts of 30 miles per hour of water. The holes that played the pilot thread on Tuesday called for Fairway wood approaches during the quarter -finals. The current forecasts provide more than the same for the semi-final matches on Saturday.
