Stephanie Meadow faces a final day crunch clash with Andrea Lee after finishing all square for the second day running in the Bank of Hope LPGA Match Play at Shadow Creek in Las Vegas.

The Arizona resident, who tied with A Lim Kim on day one, lost a two-up lead to Meghan Kang and now faces Andrea Lee in a clash that could see her through to the last 16.

Meadow, who joins Leona Maguire in next week’s US Women’s Open at Pine Needles, lost the second but won the fourth, sixth and eighth to go one up against Kang.

She lost the ninth to a birdie four but birdied the 10th and 13th to go two up before Kang parred the 14th and then birdied the last to finish all square.

Like Meadow, Kang has two halves from two matches as she faces Kim, who has just half a point following her 2-up defeat to Lee, who tops the group with one and a half points.

Meadow must beat Lee and hope Kang and Kim halve. If Kang wins, Meadow and Kang will play off.

Elsewhere, American Brittany Altomare notched a huge upset, coming back from a three-hole deficit to capture a 2&1 victory over top-seeded Minjee Lee.

Altomare will face No. 64-seed Youngin Chun on Friday with a trip to the Round of 16 on the line. Altomare and Lee both have one point. Caroline Masson leads their pod with two points after wins on both Wednesday and Thursday.

Gaby Lopez continued her strong play at Shadow Creek, following Wednesday's 6&5 win over Chella Choi with a 3&2 victory over Cheyenne Knight. Defending Match-Play champion Ally Ewing bounced back from a day-one loss with a 3&2 victory over Jasmine Suwannapura.

Sophia Popov, who fell to Ewing in the 2021 final, lost her second match of the week on Thursday and will not advance to the knock-out bracket.

Other notable players who will not advance to the bracket include Danielle Kang, So Yeon Ryu, Lizette Salas and Atthaya Thitikul.
