Golf Betting Lines

08/11/2008 - Far Hills, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Newly crowned U.S. Women's Amateur champion Amanda Blumenherst was selected as one of three players that will represent the United States in the 2008 Women's World Amateur Team Championship.

The USGA made the announcement on Monday, one day after Blumenherst took down Spain's Azahara Munoz for the U.S. Women's Amateur title.

Joining Blumenherst on the U.S. team will be Tiffany Joh and Alison Walshe. Blumenherst played in the 2006 event when the U.S. team finished ninth.

"It is such an amazing experience to represent your country, and I'm honored to be selected," said Blumenherst. "And it is so much fun to be on an actual team, when golf is usually an individual sport. I feel we have such a solid team, that we will definitely bring home the trophy."

Blumenherst, who was the runner-up in last year's Women's Amateur, also played on the 2006 and 2008 U.S. Curtis Cup teams.

Blumenherst's teammates have plenty of USGA experience as both also competed on the 2008 Curtis Cup team. Joh is also the 2006 and 2008 U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links champion, while Walshe made it to the round of 16 in the 2007 U.S. Women's Amateur and qualified for this year's U.S. Women's Open.

Sydnee Michaels and Tiffany Lua were named the first and second alternates.

The Women's World Amateur Team Championship will take place October 8-11 at the Grange Golf Club's East and West Courses in Adelaide, Australia. This year's event will have a record 54 teams participating.
