The two collegians who survived the cut at the 2007 U.S. Women's Open completed play on Sunday, as Duke's Jennie Lee and Amanda Blumenherst tied for 39^th and 50^th respectively, at Pine Needles Lodge and Golf Club in Southern Pines, N.C. Both players shot a 3-over 74 on the final day of competition, with Lee finishing at +10 for the tournament, and Blumenhurst +12.

Lee started on the 10^th hole on Sunday and made par on her first seven holes before bogeying the par-3 17^th hole. She bogeyed two more holes on the front nine but made par on the remaining seven. It was her second straight round without a birdie after making three on the first two days of the tournament.

Blumenherst had a wild round Sunday, making four birdies, five bogeys and one double bogey. Also starting on the 10^th, Blumenherst finished strong, making par or better - including two of her birdies - on the final seven holes after her double bogey on hole No. 2.
