There were 107 players vying for 17 final spots in the 2025 AIG Women's British Open, and a 16-year-old stole the show.
Anna Huang, a rookie professional from Canada, bested the field by posting a 4-under 67 at Pyle & Kenfig, about three miles away from Royal Porthcawl, site of this week's LPGA major in Wales.
"I played in the U.S. Open this year, so this will be my second major championship," she said. "I learned a lot from that week, and bringing more patience into this week will be really helpful."
In 2019, Huang finished third in the girls 10-11 division at the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals at Augusta National Golf Club.
The 17 golfers who advanced Monday all finished under par.
Anna Foster of Ireland and Arpichaya Yubol of Thailand tied for second at 3 under.
There was a four-way tie for fourth at 2 under among Hira Naveed, Soo Bin Joo, Morgane Metraux and Alessandra Fanali.
