EVANS, Ga. (AP) — Lottie Woad of England moved one round closer to becoming the first back-to-back winner of the Augusta National Women's Amateur, posting a 2-under 70 on Thursday to share the 36-hole lead with fast-closing Oregon sophomore Kiara Romero.
Woad, a junior at Florida State and the No. 1 player in the women's amateur ranking, next heads to Augusta National for a practice round Friday and the final round Saturday.
She takes with her plenty of experience, not only from having competed at the home of the Masters but having rallied to win on the final day.
