Jennifer Kupcho will carry a one-shot lead into the final round of the inaugural Augusta National Women's Amateur, where an 11-for-10 playoff was required to determine who would advance to compete at Augusta National Golf Club.
Kupcho, the reigning NCAA individual champion and No. 1-ranked amateur in the world, held a share of the lead after the first round and didn't make a bogey until her 32nd hole at Champions Retreat Golf Club. She sits at 5 under after rounds of 68-71, one shot ahead of Arkansas senior Maria Fassi who carded consecutive rounds of 2-under 70. Kaitlyn Papp tied the day's best round with a 3-under 69 to move into a tie for third at 3 under, two shots behind Kupcho and alongside Sierra Brooks and Pimnipa Panthong.
