EVANS, Ga. – UCLA senior Caroline Canales shot -2 (73-69) at Champions Retreat Golf Club in Evans, Ga. on Wednesday and Thursday to make the cut and advance to the final round of the Augusta National Women's Amateur (ANWA).
Canales and the 31 other competitors who made the cut will play the final round of ANWA Saturday, April 5 at historic Augusta National Golf Club. Live final round coverage will be produced by NBC Sports from 9 a.m.-noon (PT).
Canales trails clubhouse leaders Kiara Romero (-9) from Oregon and Lottie Woad (-9) from Florida State by seven strokes.
Canales finished the first 36 holes in a tie for 17th after shooting a 3-under 69 in round two. The Calabasas, Calif. native will play a practice round at Augusta National tomorrow before teeing off Saturday at 5:30 a.m. (PT).
UCLA women's golf freshman Francesca Fiorellini also competed in this year's ANWA, missing the cut at +6 (77-73). Fiorellini made her second career ANWA start.
Last October, Canales finished T-12th in the second stage of LPGA Tour Q-Series to earn status on the 2025 Epson Tour. Canales departed from the UCLA women's golf program midway through the Spring season and will continue to work towards her undergraduate degree. Last season, Canales helped the Bruins to a runner-up finish at the 2024 NCAA Championships. She earned WGCA Honorable Mention All-America honors and finished third in the Silverado Showdown. Before beginning her collegiate career, she reached the quarterfinals of the U.S. Women's Amateur in 2019 and the round of 16 in the U.S. Girls' Junior in 2021.
Canales is the sixth different Bruin to have competed at the ANWA (Zoe Antoinette Campos, Francesca Fiorellini, Emma Spitz, Alessia Nobilio, Emilie Paltrinieri).
