Malixi coasts to match play phase

(UPDATE) RIANNE Malixi cruised to the knockout stage at joint 24th with three others after a 73, but Grace Quintanilla failed to sustain a fine 71 start and limped out of the match play stage with an 85 in the US Girls' Junior at the Eisenhower Golf Club's Blue course in Colorado on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila).

Defending champion Yana Wilson of the US took the medal honors with a 68 spiked by a four-birdie binge from No. 12 as she assembled a six-under 138 to gain the top seeding when play shifts from stroke to match starting Wednesday.
