TULSA, Okla. — After 36 holes of stroke play, it’s time for match play at the 2024 U.S. Women’s Amateur.
Southern Hills Country Club challenged 156 of the best female amateurs in the world Monday and Tuesday, but the field has not quite been finalized for Wednesday’s Round of 64.
There are 55 players who punched their tickets to advance after Tuesday’s second round of stroke play, but Wednesday morning there will be a 20-for-10 playoff to complete the match-play bracket.
It will again be another steamer in Green Country, which in August of 2007 saw the hottest major ever recorded, the PGA Championship, which Tiger Woods won. Temperatures hovered around 100 degrees all four days. On Tuesday, temperatures reached 103 degrees with heat indexes going to 108.
The high Wednesday is expected to be 97, and 94 on Thursday.
After the playoff to set the bracket, one of those 64 golfers will add her name alongside Woods and other notable champions at Southern Hills come Sunday night at one of the best amateur events in the world.
Most of the notables in the field are near the top of the leaderboard, including a rising sophomore at Arkansas winning medalist honors and the defending champion finding her way into match play.
