The Masters begins next week, but tomorrow, a Kentucky Wildcat will get her chance to conquer Augusta National Golf Club.
Kentucky senior Jensen Castle made the cut at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur for the second straight year, sinking a crucial eight-foot birdie putt on the 18th green at Champions Retreat Golf Club to advance out of the second round. Tomorrow, the 2021 U.S. Women’s Amateur champion tees off at Augusta National Golf Club in hopes of adding another trophy to her case. Last year, Castle finished 12th in the prestigious event.
Castle plays through injury to make the cut
Castle was forced to withdraw from the Clemson Invitational last week with a rib injury but played through the pain to finish the first round of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur tied for fourth with a 2-under-par 70 on Wednesday.
