Mother Nature didn’t let up much on Friday afternoon at the Old Course, where the wind continued to wreak havoc for many of the best players in the world. While the top two players in the Rolex Rankings – Nelly Korda and Lilia Vu – sit 1-2 on the leaderboard, several top-15 players are already packing their bags.
The cut at the 2024 AIG Women’s British Open fell at 4 over, with 82 players moving on to the weekend. American Angel Yin, who is trying to make another Solheim Cup team, carded two eagles in her second-round 70 to make the cut on the number. Two-time U.S. Women’s Amateur champion Kristen Gillman birdied the 18th to become the last player to make the weekend.
