Ga-Young Kim, one of the most titled players on the tour, met Susan Wilbur in the afternoon rounds and destroyed her 9-3 in a matter of minutes. Elsewhere, Monica Webb, ranked fourth by the WPBA, played a slightly longer set against Maureen Seto that saw the Georgian advance 9-1.
In the earlier rounds, Sarah Rousey triumphed hill-hill over Pam Treadway, while Morgan Steinman enjoyed the same result in her match with Alice Rim. Veteran player Ewa Laurance bested opponent Joanne Ashton 9-5, while Dawn Hopkins also advanced by defeating Debbie Schjodt 9-7.
