Wang Makes Cut at Augusta National Women's Amateur


AUGUSTA, Ga. — Crystal Wang carded a 2-over 74 to make the cut for Saturday’s final round of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur, which is played at Augusta National.

Wang, starting on No. 10, was 5-over after five holes, but went bogey-free over the last 13 holes of the round to post a two-day total of 144 (E) securing her spot for Saturday, just three strokes above the cut of 147 (+3).

The Diamond Bar, Calif., native birdied No. 18 to post a back nine score of 40, and then birdied the final two holes of her round on No. 8 and No. 9 to post a front nine score of 34.

Wang is one of three Big Ten golfers that will be playing on Saturday, joined by Michigan’s Monet Chun and Ohio State’s Caley McGinty, while Stanford’s Rose Zhang leads the tournament at 13-under.

Wang will travel to Augusta National tomorrow for a practice round before Saturday’s final round. Tee times will begin at 7:00 a.m. CT, with pairings to be announced.
