The 2024 Augusta National Women’s Amateur came to an end (sort of) Thursday for half the field.
The 36-hole cut was made after the first two rounds at Champions Retreat Golf Club, coming at 3-over 147. Thirty-six golfers made the cut, meaning 36 won’t get to compete in the final round Saturday at Augusta National Golf Club.
This is the first year more than 30 players have made the weekend, as it was the top-30 and ties who earned tee times Saturday at Augusta National.
Every golfer in the ANWA field will have a practice round Friday at Augusta National Golf.
However, there were a few notables who missed the cut, including six of the top 10 players in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.

Here’s a look at the notables who missed the cut at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur.
In the past two years, Stone, a fifth-year at LSU, finished T-2 and eighth at ANWA, but after rounds of 75-77, she’ll miss the cut for the first time.
The 2023 U.S. Women’s Amateur champion finished T-14 last year and opened with a 73, but as was the case for numerous players, difficult conditions Thursday resulted in an 79 for Schofill, a fifth-year at Auburn, and her third MC in four tries at ANWA.
The 2021 NCAA individual champion and 2023 U.S. Women’s Amateur semifinalist shot 1 under in the opening round, but a 77 in Thursday’s winds moved the senior at Stanford one shot outside of the cut line.
Julia Lopez Ramirez, a junior at Mississippi State, is No. 2 in WAGR, but her chase for ANWA fame came to a close after rounds of 76-73.
Winner of three of her last four college events, Zoe Campos, a junior at UCLA, was one of the favorites coming in, but the world No. 6 fired rounds of 73-76 at Champions Retreat.
Last year, Lignell barely missed out on the playoff between Rose Zhang and Jenny Bae, finishing third. This year was a different story, as she shot 77-78 to miss the cut.
Briem is ranked fifth in the world, but the 2023 R&A Girls’ Amateur champion will miss the cut for the second straight year after a 6-over 78 in the second round following an opening 71.
Romero, the 2023 U.S. Girls’ Junior champion and Oregon freshman, hit the opening tee shot of the championship and shot under par on Wednesday, but Thursday resulted in a 78 and a MC.
Wilson, an Oregon signee, won a Cactus Tour event earlier this year, but consecutive rounds of 76 resulted in the 2022 U.S. Girls’ Junior champ missing the cut.
The world No. 8 played alongside No. 1 Ingrid Lindblad and No. 14 Rachel Kuehn, but she’s the only one from that group who missed the cut after rounds of 75-76.
