At the AIG Women’s Open, Japan’s Miyu Yamashita delivered an impressive game, finishing the second round with a score of seven under par, which allowed her to gain a significant lead in the tournament. At that time, English player Lottie Wu, who was a favorite, faced difficulties with a triple bogey, finishing with a result of two over par.

Wu demonstrated a solid game, but on the 16th hole, she encountered serious challenges. After attempting to achieve a birdie, her putt was rejected, which resulted in a drop to three over par. This happened after her second shot landed in a difficult situation, which previously resulted in a par score of 70.

Yamashita, starting with favorable conditions, began her game with two birdies, continuing her series of successful strikes, which allowed her to reach 11 under par overall. Her game included five birdies, which indicates her consistency and mastery.

Among the competitors trying to catch Yamashita, her teammate Rio Takeda stood out, who made three birdies. At the same time, world number one Nelly Korda could not maintain her usual game, finishing the round with a score equal to par.

On another note, champion Lydia Ko was at risk of missing the weekend after failing to make the cut following the second round, while Lily Wu, the 2023 champion, did not advance to the next stage.
