JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. --- Jillian Corum's run at 71st annual Tennessee State Women's Golf Amateur Championship has ended in the round of 16 with Wednesday's match play loss to Samantha Gotcher at the Blackthorn Club at The Ridges.

Gotcher (Clarksville, Tenn.) won the match, 5 and 3 over Corum, who is a rising junior on the Tusculum College women's golf team. Gotcher advances to Thursday's quarterfinal match against 2009 champion Kendall Martindale.

This past season for the Pioneers, Corum posted an 80.42 stroke average, which is the third best in school history and a new Tusculum mark for sophomores.

Corum, a Knoxville, Tenn. native, captured two medalist titles this past season, winning at the Anderson Invitational and Maryville Invitational. The two wins ties a school single-season record, while her three career victories are a new TC mark. She finished seventh at the 2011 South Atlantic Conference Championship to earn a spot on the SAC All-Tournament Team.

Corum lowered her career scoring average to 81.79, which is presently the best in Pioneer history.
