TULSA, Okla. — Many of the best female amateurs in the world are at Southern Hills Country Club battling it out in the 124th U.S. Women’s Amateur.
Although Nos. 1-3 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking aren’t in the field, Nos. 4-6 and 8-10 are, as are seven more players in the top 25. They’re all taking on the famed course in Tulsa, which hosted the 2022 PGA Championship.
Megan Schofill, a recent Auburn graduate, is the defending U.S. Women’s Amateur champion, having topped Latanna Stone 4 and 3 last year at Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles. She’s back to defend her title.
Other than Schofill, here are 10 players to watch at the 2024 U.S. Women’s Amateur.
