One week away from the Masters, the best amateur players in the world have embarked on the course of the Augusta National for the Augusta National Women's Amateur. The course that awards the green jacket has opened its doors since 2019 to women for this tournament.

We particularly remember the outbursts of Pauline Roussin-Bouchard in 2021, who finished 3rd in the event one shot from the play-off!

After two rounds of this Augusta National Women's Amateur 2023, it is the American player Rose Zhang who dominates the debates. She started her tournament with a card of 66 (-6) devoid of bogey. She improves her card on the second round with a 65 (-7), a bogey for six birdies and an eagle!

Rose Zhang after her second round: “I think playing with a big lead is definitely different… From my past experience, it's very important to understand that you have all the players behind you and anything can happen. »

With her total of -13, Rose Zhang is one step ahead of Andrea Lignell (-8) and Jenny Bae (-7).

The Cut after two rounds was made at +2. 31 players passed this Cut.
