EVANS, Ga. — With winds gusting up to 30 mph at Champions Retreat, an already intense day at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur turned brutal.
“It was insane,” said Stanford’s Megha Ganne. “Like one the most insane rounds I’ve played in the last few years. Can’t really describe it.”
Only five players in the field of 72 broke par as the cut line moved to 3 over. Florida State sophomore Lottie Woad of England paces the field at 5 under after carding a 1-under 71. A dozen players are under par heading into Saturday’s final round at Augusta National. A total of 35 players made the cut with names like 2022 champion Anna Davis and Rachel Heck among the eight who missed it by one. Heck finished bogey, double-bogey, bogey over her last three holes. Davis was assessed a devastating slow-play penalty on the 17th.
