Ogden won the first hole of the day and followed it with a nearly flawless front nine, setting up a 5-and-4 victory over the 15-year-old sensation in the quarterfinals of the USGA's Amateur Public Links championship at Shaker Run Golf Course in Lebanon, Ohio

Ogden, a quarterfinalist who lost to eventual champion Ryan Moore in this event last year, advanced to the afternoon semifinals. The 36-hole championship match tees off tomorrow.

"I'll definitely be back next year," Wie said after the match. "I learned a lot from the experience."

Ogden, who plays collegiate golf at BYU, birdied four of the first five holes of his match with Wie to take a commanding 4-up lead.

After Wie matched his par and looked to steady herself on No. 3, she seemed ready to move back into the match by knocking an approach from 205 yards out to 15 feet. Ogden answered by sticking his approach to within 5 feet and holing his birdie putt.

Wie missed her birdie putt, indicative of a day when she didn't make any putt of extended length.

On the next hole, the par-3 No. 5 playing to 214 yards, Ogden again got in close with his tee shot and made a 10-foot birdie putt, while Wie's approach was to the far side of the green.

The only hole Wie won all day was No. 10, when Ogden hit a tree and made bogey. Earning honors for the first time the match, she dropped a mid-iron shot right over top of the flag that ended up 18 feet above the hole. Ogden, true to his form all day, answered by getting within 10 feet with his approach, and making yet another birdie.

The match ended on No. 14, with Ogden getting up and down from out of the rough to match Wie's par.

A large gallery of more than 1,000 spectators applauded at length in appreciation, recognizing Ogden's play and Wie's efforts as the first female to qualify for a USGA championship event for men.

But Wie's biggest lesson may have been the one Ogden reinforced today. "I learned to get on your opponent early and don't let up," she said.
