Yahoo Sports Notable players who missed the cut at the AIG Women's British Open at St. Andrews
Mother Nature didn't let up much on Friday afternoon at the Old Course, where the wind continued to wreak havoc for many of the best players in the world. While the top two players in the Rolex Rankings – Nelly Korda and Lilia Vu – sit 1-2 on the leaderboard, several top-15 players are already packing their bags.
The cut at the 2024 AIG Women's British Open fell at 4 over, with 82 players moving on to the weekend. American Angel Yin, who is trying to make another Solheim Cup team, carded two eagles in her second-round 70 to make the cut on the number. Two-time U.S. Women's Amateur champion Kristen Gillman birdied the 18th to become the last player to make the weekend.
Here's a look at a number of notable players who won't play on at the Home of Golf:
Bronte Law, 5 over
England's Law leads the Order of Merit on the Ladies European and is surely on the mind of European Solheim Cup captain Suzann Pettersen. But two double bogeys on her back nine caused Law to hobble in with a 76 and miss the cut by a stroke. She'll need a pick to make it to Virginia next month.
Lauren Coughlin, 6 over
The hottest player in women's golf coming into the AIG, Coughlin couldn't keep the momentum going after winning last weekend in Scotland. A triple-bogey on the par-4 12th proved too much to overcome.
Jennifer Kupcho, 6 over
Kupcho will require a pick from U.S. captain Stacy Lewis to compete in another Solheim Cup. She has missed the cut in four of six starts in this championship.
Hannah Green, 7 over
With no birdies in an opening 77, it was always going to be a tough climb back for Green, who missed the cut at this championship for a second straight year.
Yuka Saso, 7 over
A second-round 76 gave the 2024 U.S. Women's Open champion her second consecutive missed cut in a major.
Allisen Corpuz, 7 over
After an historic victory at the 2023 U.S. Women's Open at Pebble Beach plus two additional top 10s in the majors last season, Corpuz couldn't finish better than T-19 at the big ones in 2024.
Catriona Matthew, 7 over
A birdie on the last hole wasn't enough to keep Scotland's Matthew around for the weekend. The winningest Scottish player in LPGA history, who won the British Open in 2009, retired from the tour on Friday.
Brooke Henderson, 9 over
After taking a share of third at the Chevron to open major season on the LPGA, Henderson missed two of her last four cuts in the majors. She has one career top 10 at the British.
Minjee Lee, 9 over
Lee's record at the British Open coming into St. Andrews included five top-10 finishes in 10 starts, making her 78-75 performance somewhat surprising.
Jin Young Ko, 10 over
After a share of second at the KPMG, the former No. 1 had a tough go in her Old Course debut, carding 76-78.
Gemma Dryburgh, 10 over
Scotland's Dryburgh, competing for the first time over the Old Course, struggled with rounds of 79-75. She'll need a pick from European captain Suzann Pettersen to make her second Solheim Cup team.
Anna Nordqvist, 11 over
It was a tough week for the three-time major champion, a European vice captain who will also require a pick from Pettersen to make her ninth Solheim Cup.
Stacy Lewis, 12 over
Though she birdied the Road Hole, rekindling some magic from her 2013 victory at the Old Course, Lewis couldn't rebound from an opening 80 in brutal conditions Thursday morning.
Hinako Shibuno, 14 over
The former British Open champion made only three birdies in two rounds over the Old Course. There were highlights at the majors this year for the "Smiling Cinderella," however, including a runner-up finish at the U.S. Women's Open and a seventh at the KPMG Women's PGA.
Karrie Webb, 15 over
Though she's exempt into this championship until age 60, the three-time British Open champ figures this will be her final chance to compete over the Old Course.
