Lucy Li among 66 golfers invited to inaugural Augusta National Women’s AmateurLucy Li is among the headliners, though the USGA has yet to announce what will come of her amateur status after the teen appeared in an Apple Watch advertising campaign at the start of the year. Li qualified for the ANWA by virtue of her World Amateur Golf Ranking. The top 30 U.S. players not otherwise qualified earned a spot in the field. And it looks like she’s wearing that pesky watch in this picture. Nonstop advertising! Amateur 🙄

Can there be more brazen pumps? ANWA is NBC's best chance to dislodge the Masters away from CBS. That will NEVER happen. I've heard that CBS has some kind of physical infrastructure on-site year-round...and this paragraph from Wikipedia on The Masters is more important: While Augusta National Golf Club has consistently chosen CBS as its U.S. broadcast partner, it has done so in successive one-year contracts. Former CBS Sports president Neal Pilson stated that their relationship had gotten to the point where the contracts could be negotiated in just hours.[93] Due to the lack of long-term contractual security, as well as the club's limited dependence on broadcast rights fees (owing to its affluent membership), it is widely held that CBS allows Augusta National greater control over the content of the broadcast, or at least performs some form of self-censorship, in order to maintain future rights. The club, however, has insisted it does not make any demands with respect to the content of the broadcast.[104][105] Despite this, announcers who have been deemed not to have acted with the decorum expected by the club have been removed, notably Jack Whitaker and Gary McCord,[104] and there also tends to be a lack of discussion of any controversy involving Augusta National, such as the 2003 Martha Burk protests.******** Ana Belac of Duke U. by way of Slovenia https://www.instagram.com/p/BsfyuDfl8-h

The reason Patty Tavatanakit decides to skip ANWA is because she's exempted into 2019 ANA Inspiration based on her T5 finish at 2018 USWO.

I still don't know why Albane Valenzuela decides to skip; whether she's hurt, turning pro or other plans.

I’m not really following all their stuff yet but I appreciate more women’s golf content. Speaking of golf writing Happy should get a Pulitzer for his year end reviews.
