Matthews Makes Cut, Advances To Final Round at ANWA
AUGUSTA, Ga. – Arkansas golfer Brooke Matthews will play in the final round of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur, as she made the cut following 36 holes of play over two days. The third round, which will include the top-30 players after 36 holes, will be played on Saturday, and will be televised on NBC from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. CT. Matthews will be paired with Emilie Alba Paltrinieri of Italy in the final round, and they will tee off at 7:50 a.m. CT.
After two rounds of play, the Rogers, Ark. native sits tied for 17th, firing a score of 149 (+5) over her first 36 holes of play. She is six strokes off the lead, as both 17-year-old Rose Zhang and LSU’s Ingrid Lindblad share the top of the leaderboard at one-under.
