EVANS, Ga. (AP) — Stanford’s Megha Ganne set the Augusta National Women’s Amateu r record on Wednesday with a 9-under 63 at Champions Retreat, giving her a two-shot lead over defending champion Lottie Woad, who did her best to track down Ganne.

Ganne had never broken 70 in eight previous rounds at Champions Retreat. She carded a second-round 80 in each of her first two ANWA appearances, both missed cuts. She finally made it to Saturday at Augusta National two years ago, tying for ninth, and was T-20 last year after an opening 70.

Conditions and course changes due to Hurricane Helene led to low scores during Wednesday's opening round of the 2025 Augusta National Women's Amateur.
