It takes so much to reach the finals.Port will face 55-year-old Andrea Kraus of Baltimore in the title match at Wellesley Country Club.Port beat Lisa Schlesinger of Laytonsville, Maryland, 2 and 1 in the morning quarterfinals and outlasted Laura Coble of Augusta, Georgia, in 19 holes in the afternoon semifinals.When you get to match play, you just have to never give up and be very patient, Port said. My `A game hasnt shown up. Ive just been kind of inconsistent.Kraus needed extra holes in both matches, topping Canadas Judith Kyrinis in 21 holes in the quarterfinals and Karen Garcia of Cool, California, in 19 holes in the semifinals. Kraus got past the quarterfinals for the first time in USGA play.I had a really long day with two really long matches against two terrific players, Kraus said. It wasnt flawless golf. We were tired.

Thats just how I operate.Port pulled even with Coble with a birdie win on the par-3 15th, halved the par-4 16th and par-5 17th and 18th with pars and won with a par on the par-4 19th. In the quarterfinals, Port finished off Schlesinger with a par win on 17.I never feel out of a match, Port said. I love being able to pull off a shot. I think I can really focus in on the task at hand and keep from getting too far ahead of myself. Its just me and the golf course. Thats the way its always been. Thats all I can control, and that frees me up.Kraus squared the match with Garcia with a par win on 17, halved the 18th with a bogey and won with a par on the first extra hole. In the quarterfinals, Kraus won the 14th and 15th to tie Kyrinis, and ended it with a par win on the 21st.It is pretty nice to finally get to a final, it really is, Kraus said. Its really exciting.
