On a thrilling Friday, the world’s best women came to the fore at the home of golf, in tough windy conditions at the Old Course St. Andrews, but there are also a number of big names who missed the cut at the AIG Women’s Open.
It’s the final Major of the year and, after 36 holes, we have an exciting leaderboard, which is stacked full of Major winners.
Women’s World No.1 Nelly Korda leads the way after a sensational four-under par 68 that catapulted her to the top of the leaderboard on eight-under-par. Defending Champion Lilia Vu, who won two Majors in 2023, showed the importance of making a score on the greens by taking just 59 putts in her first two rounds, placing her tied for second place alongside England’s Charley Hull on five-under-par.
However, although a host of big names are in contention, a number of the world’s best didn’t make the cut going into the weekend, as the extremely high winds at St. Andrews produced a four-over-par cut-line.
