Lottie Woad Shares Lead at Augusta National Women's Amateur

Defending champion Lottie Woad shares the lead at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur, finishing the opening rounds at nine-under-par alongside Kiara Romero. Woad, who is looking to become the first player to successfully defend her title, previously claimed victory in a dramatic final round last year. After a strong start to the tournament, Woad reflected on her experience helping her handle pressure, stating she can draw on positive memories from her past win. Meanwhile, Hannah Darling, another notable competitor, missed the cut after finishing three over par. The tournament has seen record-breaking performances, including Megha Ganne's opening round of 63. As the competition moves to Augusta National for the final round, the stakes remain high for all players involved.
