AUGUSTA, Ga. – Wake Forest women's golfers Jennifer Kupcho and Emilia Migliaccio will compete this week in the inaugural Augusta National Women's Amateur. The event will be held April 3-6 and features 72 of the top women's amateur players in the world.
The entire field will play the first and second rounds of the event on Wednesday and Thursday at the Champions Retreat Golf Club in suburban Augusta. On Friday, all 72 players will participate in a practice round at Augusta National Golf Club before the top 30 players make the cut for the final round on Saturday at the famed home of The Masters.
Golf Channel will have coverage throughout the tournament with highlights, interviews and live programming. Saturday's final round will be covered live on NBC from 12-3 p.m.
The tournament is the first-ever women's event at Augusta National. Both Kupcho and Migliaccio received invitations to the tournament due to their place in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.
Kupcho is the No. 1 amateur player in the world in the WAGR and is the reigning NCAA individual champion.
