American Brianna Do and Canadian Anna Huang were among the 17 players to earn spots in this week’s AIG Women’s Open via Monday’s 18-hole qualifier.<\/p>\n

The AIG Women’s Open begins Thursday at Wales’ Royal Porthcawl.<\/p>\n

Huang, the youngest player on the Ladies European Tour at 16, posted the low round Monday with her 4-under par 67 at Pyle and Kenfig Golf Club. She was followed by Ireland’s Anna Foster and Thailand’s Arpichaya Yubol at 3 under.<\/p>\n

“I’m delighted with my score,” said Huang, who is No. 521 in the Rolex Women’s Rankings. “I don’t play links golf, so it took a couple of practice rounds to get used to it, but I think I handled it pretty well. I played in the U.S. Open this year so this will be my second major championship. I learned a lot from that week and bringing more patience into this week will be really helpful.”<\/p>\n

Do, 35, tied for eighth at 1 under. The 2011 Women’s Amateur Public Links champion will play in her first Women’s Open since 2016. Ranked 351st, she is coming off a tie for 23rd in June at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and a T59 three weeks ago at the Evian Championship.<\/p>\n

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

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

“Not even a little bit,” she said. “I met unbelievably great people here. I got to play with a bunch of members at Porthcawl, and I got to know everybody at Pyle and Kenfig. It’s been great.”<\/p>\n

Australia’s Hira Naveed (69) and New Zealand’s Momoko Kobori (70), teammates at Pepperdine from 2017-19, both qualified. All 17 qualifiers for this week’s 144-golfer field finished under par.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jul 28, 2025, 08:37 PM ET American Brianna Do and Canadian Anna Huang were among the 17 players…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":47194,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":["post-47193","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47193","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47193"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47193\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47194"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47193"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47193"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47193"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
