LOS ANGELES — The best women’s amateur golfers in the world are in California for the 123rd U.S. Women’s Amateur.
Play began Monday at Bel-Air Country Club, which is near UCLA’s campus in north Los Angeles. The field of 156 players will compete in two rounds of stroke play before a cut is made for the top 64 players. Any ties will be resolved, and match play begins Wednesday.
The championship final is set for Sunday and will be contested over 36 holes.
Jensen Castle, the 2021 U.S. Women’s Amateur champion, is the lone winner in the field. Last year’s winner, Saki Baba, isn’t teeing it up.
