Brianna Do and Anna Huang Secure Their Spots in the AIG Women’s Open<\/h2>\n\nAmerican golfer Brianna Do and Canadian Anna Huang are among the 17 players who secured their participation in this week’s AIG Women’s Open, following Monday’s 18-hole qualifying round.\n\nThe AIG Women’s Open will tee off on Thursday at Royal Porthcawl in Wales.\n\nHuang, the youngest player on the Ladies European Tour at 16 years old, recorded the best round on Monday with a 67, four under par, at Pyle and Kenfig Golf Club. She was followed by Ireland’s Anna Foster and Thailand’s Arpichaya Yubol, both with three under par.\n\n\n
\n\n

“I am delighted with my result,” stated Huang, who holds the 521st position in the Women’s Rolex World Ranking. “I don’t usually play golf on links courses, so it took me a couple of practice rounds to get used to it, but I think I handled it quite well. I played in the US Open this year, so this will be my second major championship. I learned a lot from that week and bringing more patience to this week will be really helpful.”<\/p>\n\nAnna Huang<\/cite>\n\n\nDo, 35, tied for eighth place with a low par. The 2011 Women’s Amateur Public Links champion will participate in her first Women’s Open since 2016. Ranked 351st, she comes from tying for 23rd place in June at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and finishing 59th three weeks ago at the Evian Championship.\n\n\n

\n\n

“A few years ago, I was the first alternate for the Evian, and I couldn’t get in, so I came to Scotland and played quite a bit of golf,” Do commented. “I played at the Old Course, Prestwick, Elie, so I played quite a bit for fun, and it was incredible. I learned quite a bit there, but not in the sense of a tournament.”<\/p>\n\nBrianna Do<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Among the five Americans who failed to qualify was Danielle Kang, a major champion in 2017 and a four-time U.S. Solheim Cup player, who shot a 73. Despite not qualifying for her 13th Women’s Open, Kang expressed that she is not disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n

“Not even a little bit,” she said. “I met incredibly great people here. I got to play with a group of members in Porthcawl, and I met everyone in Pyle and Kenfig. It’s been great”.<\/p>\n\nDanielle Kang<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nAustralian Hira Naveed (69) and New Zealander Momoko Kobori (70), teammates at Pepperdine from 2017 to 2019, also qualified. The 17 qualifiers for this week’s tournament, which will feature 144 golfers, finished under par.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
