It was a low scoring first day of the 2024 Augusta National Women’s Amateur.
South Carolina junior Hannah Darling holds the solo lead at 6-under 66 after a ANWA-record eight birdies in the opening round. She leads by a shot over Ingrid Lindblad, the top-ranked female amateur in the world, Francesca Fiorellini and Eila Galitsky.
Florida State’s Lottie Woad and Florida’s Maisie Filler sit at 4 under. There were 11 rounds in the 60s on Wednesday, the best scoring day in ANWA history.
After the first two rounds Wednesday and Thursday at Champions Retreat in nearby Evans, Georgia, the field is cut to the top-30 players and ties for the final round Saturday at Augusta National. All 72 players will play a practice round at Augusta National on Friday.
