Megha Ganne of Stanford achieved a historic 9-under 63 in the first round of the Augusta National Women's Amateur, setting a new record. Ganne's bogey-free round showcased her skill, with impressive birdies, while defending champion Lottie Woad trailed by two shots but displayed resilience, aiming to close the gap. This year’s warm weather and soft turf aided scoring, leading to lower-than-normal numbers. The tournament remains highly competitive, with no player having successfully defended the title since its inception in 2019, highlighting Ganne's impressive performance and the evolving dynamics of the championship.
Ganne's remarkable performance of a 9-under 63 set a new ANWA record, reflecting not just her talent but also the optimal playing conditions for scoring.
Defending champion Woad was inspired by Ganne's score, making a strong effort to keep pace, illustrating the competitive spirit of this premier women's amateur championship.
