AUGUSTA, Ga. - For a fifth consecutive year, Wake Forest women's golf will have two athletes competing at the world-renowned Augusta National Golf Club among one of the most competitive fields in women's golf for the Augusta National Women's Amateur Championship.
Senior Carolina Chacarra will make her fifth Championship start this upcoming week, while sophomore Macy Pate makes her debut. Both athletes are joined by head coach Kim Lewellen and Lyons Family associate head coach Ryan Potter, who will serve as caddies throughout the rounds.

Wake Forest has had at least two players play in all five ANWA events, with Jennifer Kupcho winning the inaugural event in 2019 and Emilia Migliaccio taking second after a playoff in 2021. The event was not played in 2020 due to the pandemic.
