Annabell Fuller tees off the U.S. Women’s Open Championship on Thursday at 1:14 p.m.
SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. – Annabell Fuller will add another mark to her resume as she is set to play her second major championship in the U.S. Women’s Open on Thursday.
She will tee off round one on Thursday at 1:14 p.m. and 7:59 a.m. in round two Friday as she will be one of six amateurs that qualified. The other five amateurs are Anna Davis, Alexandra Forsterling (Arizona State), Ingrid Lindblad (LSU), Bohyun Park (Texas) and Rose Zang (Stanford).
The Gator secured a spot for the event after earning Co-Medalist in qualifying at Mark Bostick Golf Course on May 2. She started off strong with a 66 (-4), which tied her collegiate low she set in the spring opener this season. She highlighted her first round with an eagle on 12 and then closed with a birdie on 18 as she only had one bogey. The qualifying featured a set of 36 holes on one day as the junior had a 71 (+1) in the final round.
Fuller’s major debut came in the Women’s British Open last year. She was one of the three amateurs to make the cut as she shot 1-under 71 in round one highlighted by a bogey free back nine. Playing at the Carnoustie Golf Links – one of the toughest links courses – Fuller erased a bumpy start to her round two with three birdies on the final nine to end 2-under. In her final round, the Gator dominated the back nine again with her third outing under-par (-1).
The 77th edition of the tournament will take place at Pine Needles in Southern Pines, N.C. as one of the main story lines is World Golf Hall of Famer and three-time champion, Annika Sorenstam returns to the open.
Round will be broadcasted live on Peacock starting a 1 p.m. ET.
