Ganne Leads Augusta Women's Amateur with Record 63

Megha Ganne made a remarkable start at the Augusta National Women's Amateur by setting a new tournament record with a 9-under 63 at Champions Retreat, surpassing the previous record held by her former teammate Rose Zhang. This performance gave her a two-shot lead over the defending champion Lottie Woad, who also performed strongly with a 65. Both players, along with Kiara Romero, who is ranked fifth in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, are in contention heading into the final round at Augusta National, with Romero and Woad currently tied at 9-under. The tournament has seen historically low scores, with many players breaking par, setting the stage for a competitive final round. Woad aims to become the first multi-time winner of the event. The final round will be played on Saturday, following a practice round on Friday at the iconic Augusta National.
