Talley takes halfway lead at US Women’s Amateur
In a remarkable turn of events, a U.S. Women’s Amateur competitor, Lucy Li, secured a spot as an alternate on Monday and reached her tee time just 14 minutes before play. This tale of last-minute feat exemplifies the resilience and determination of golfers at the highest level. Li, a 16-year-old from Redwood Shores, California, is one of the most promising young players in the game. She has already won several major junior championships, including the U.S. Girls’ Junior in 2014. Li is making her first appearance in the U.S. Women’s Amateur this week, and she has already made a big impression. In the first round, she shot a 2-under 69 to earn a share of the lead. In the second round, she followed up with a 1-under 70 to take a one-stroke lead into the weekend. Li’s performance this week is a testament to her talent and her ability to perform under pressure. She is a true rising star in the game of golf, and she is sure to be a contender for the championship this week.
