Amelia Whinney was the only Aussie in action in round one of the match play portion in England after just scraping through the strokeplay, the South Australian going down to Julia Gregg of America 6&4.

The story didn’t get much better in the second round of matches for the Australian contingent, with Justice Bosio suffering a 4&3 loss to Ffion Tynan of Wales, Lithuania’s Gilė Bitė Starkutė defeating Lion Higo 3&2 and Cayetana Fernandez Garcia-Poggio of Spain accounting for Abbie Teasdale 2&1.

But Peirce was flying the flag strongly, the South Australian enjoying a 4&3 win over Aine Donegan of Ireland.

“I’m definitely getting used to it a little bit. Some of the shots are a lot easier in match play because you're not worried about where it's going to go so much. It's just one hole,” Peirce said.

“I suppose the course I play at home, Royal Adelaide, it gets quite windy, so it's not like I haven't played windy golf, but I haven't played proper links. It’s definitely the result I was looking for and I’m excited for tomorrow.”

That victory sees Peirce through to the round of 32, where she will play Benedetta Moresco from Italy, while another Australian resident remains alive in the match play section representing a different flag.

Melbourne resident, and Metropolitan Golf Club member, Jeneath Wong is playing for Malaysia, where she was born, and having managed an eight shot improvement in the second round of strokeplay to qualify for the sudden death portion, Wong claimed a close match in round two.

Seeing off Silje Torvund Ohma of Norway 2&1, Wong will now play Justine Fournand from France in the next round, where World No.1 Ingrid Lindblad will look to also continue her charge.

“I’ve been pretty confident in my driver this week, so I've just been trying to hit driver wherever I can which gives you a little shorter in obviously. So on the 2nd I think that drive was like 300 metres long,” Lindblad said. “When it's blowing, you just trust that the wind is going to pick up the ball and bring it to the fairway. You can attack.”
