Golf Digest on MSNDefending champion in familiar territory as ANWA moves to Augusta National with a host of top players hot on her healsAfter the first two rounds at Champions Retreat, Woad, the world’s top-ranked amateur, is tied for the lead at nine under par alongside the 2023 U.S. Girls’ Junior champion Kiara Romero. After a practice round at Augusta National on Friday, the duo will tee off in the final grouping Saturday behind the other 30 players who made the 36-hole cut.
As part of the LPGA's new LEAP program, where amateurs are able to attain LPGA status through various events and milestones, Woad earned two points by winning last year's ANWA and could earn two more if she wins again, putting her within two more points of reaching the required 20 to get her LPGA Tour card.
Kiara Romero is a co-leader heading into the final round of ANWA, and she's having as much fun as she ever has with her sister on the bag.
Lottie Woad comments on her opening round of the Augusta National Women's Amateur, a 7-under 65 with two early birdies that helped her settle in as she defends last year's title.
