EUGENE, Ore. — Duke star Amanda Blumenherst won the U.S. Women's Amateur on today, rallying to beat NCAA champion Azahara Munoz 2 and 1 in the 36-hole final at Eugene Country Club.

Blumenherst, the three-time national college player of the year, was 1-down after the morning 18 and still a hole behind through 27. She squared it with a birdie on the par-4 10th, took the lead with a par on the par-5 13th and pulled two holes in front with a birdie on the par-5 16th. Both players parred 17 to end the match.

Blumenherst, a two-time Curtis Cup player, won the tournament a year after a 1-up loss to Maria Uribe in the final at Crooked Stick.

Munoz, the Arizona State star from Spain, was trying to become the first player to win the NCAA and Women's Amateur in the same season since Georgia's Vicki Goetze in 1992.
