5 Big Names Who Missed the Cut at the 2025 AIG Women's Open Ft. Brooke Henderson & Lilia Vu

After carding a bogey-free 7-under 65 in the second round of the AIG Women’s Open at Royal Porthcawl, Wales, on August 1, 2025, Miyu Yamashita extended her advantage to three strokes ahead of fellow Japanese golfer Rio Takeda.
Yamashita gained her lead by taking advantage of calm early morning conditions and focusing on shot accuracy, club selection, and direction amid strong wind later in the day.
Lottie Woad, the English rising star and bookmakers' favorite, struggled with a costly triple bogey on the 16th hole despite moving into contention with six birdies earlier.
Yamashita expressed that her focus is consistently on achieving a strong position in every event she enters, while Woad noted that overall, there were far more positive moments than negative during her play.
Yamashita’s commanding lead suggests she is the player to beat going into the weekend, while Woad and others face significant deficits to challenge for the title under expected windy conditions.
