Notable golfers who missed the cut at Women's British Open include the first-round leader
Billed as the largest women's sporting event ever stages in Wales, fans will miss out on seeing a number of big names this weekend in the LPGA's fifth and final major of the season. A total of 71 players made the cut.
Who missed the cut at the AIG Women's British Open?
Here's a list of notables and past champions who won't play the weekend at Porthcawl.
Brooke Henderson, 3 over (147)
A short miss on the 17th will likely linger with Brooke Henderson, who also failed to pick up a birdie on the closing par 5. An inward 40 put her at 76 for Friday's second round and a 3 over total. Henderson missed the cut in two majors this season and failed to finish in the top 30 in any of them.
Eri Okayama, 4 over (148)
It's not often that a Round 1 leader goes on to miss the cut a major, but the JLPGA veteran heads home after a disastrous 81 on Friday. After opening the championship with a 67, Okayama said she was surprised by her position given how much she has struggled with a back injury of late and was limited in her practice.
Ingrid Lindblad, 5 over (149)
Swedish rookie Ingrid Lindblad was inside the top 30 going into the 11th hole and then the bottom fell out. A shocking 10 reduced Lindblad to tears on the green, according to the R&A radio. The 7-over 79 put Lindblad at 5 over for the tournament, three shots out of the cut line.
Jennifer Kupcho, 6 over (150)
Back-to-back 75s led to an early exit for Jennifer Kupcho, who won earlier this season at the ShopRite LPGA Classic for her fourth career title. Kupcho hadn't finished outside the top 25 until since then until this week. Kupcho hit only 12 fairways for the week.
Ruoning Yin, 7 over (151)
The world No. 4 struggled in her third Women's British appearance. After a share of second last year at the Old Course, Yin missed the cut by a mile in Wales. She hit only six fairways in a second-round 77. After a runner-up and share of fourth in the first two majors, she missed the weekend in the last two.
Lilia Vu, 7 over (151)
Only two years ago, Lilia vu won two majors. Now she's struggling to make a cut. A second-round 77 for Vu gave her a fourth consecutive missed cut at the majors this season. After winning the AIG in 2023, she finished runner-up last year at the Old Course.
Jin Young Ko, 7 over (151)
An opening 78 was too much to overcome for the former No. 1 Jin Young Ko. Though she has a runner-up and a third in this championship, she's also missed the cut four times in seven starts.
Maja Stark, 8 over (152)
It's been a rough stretch for Maja Stark since winning the U.S. Women's Open. The Swede missed her third consecutive cut this week at the AIG. She has played the weekend only once since becoming a major winner, and that was the KPMG Women's PGA, where she broke her putter during the final round.
Yealimi Noh, 11 over (155)
The American broke through with her first LPGA title earlier this year at the Founders Cup. Noh carded only one birdie over the course of two rounds at Porthcawl and had four doubles. That's three consecutive missed cuts for Noh, but there was a huge highlight: She was recently engaged.
Hannah Green, 12 over (156)
For as much success as Green has had in recent years on the LPGA, it hasn't come at the majors. The 2019 KPMG Women's PGA winner hasn't had a top 10 in a major since 2022. After three top 10s to start the season, it's been an uphill fight for the Aussie since then. Green made two triples at Porthcawl, where she struggled off the tee.
Sophia Popov, 20 over (162)
The Cinderella from the 2020 AIG Women's British Open has yet to make a cut in the championship since that magical run. Of course, much has happened since then, with Popov now a mom trying to balance it all. Popov carded back-to-back rounds of 82 to finish last. Past champions of the British Open are exempt until the age of 55.

Ranking the worst Premier League away kits in 2025/26
With the Premier League returning for another season, we have ranked the very worst away kits that we will be forced to look at intermittently over the next nine months. What is your favourite (or least favourite) kit in the top flight this year? Let us know in the comments below! Ranking the worst Premier League away kits in 2025/26 5. Newcastle United So I guess green is now officially Newcastle United's tertiary colour behind black and white? This is the fourth season in a row it has been incorporated into the side's away jersey. Look, on the face of it, it's not a bad kit, but the context behind it is too ugly and gross to ignore. The Magpies' Saudi owners are exploiting one of English football's most iconic clubs to wash their brutal image to the world. Newcastle's home top is perfectly fine, while their 90's-inspired third kit is sublime. But this one can get in the bin. Read – 4. Aston Villa Dull, boring, monotonous, stale, lifeless. What in the world were Adidas thinking when they came up with this Aston Villa kit? 'On away days, this Aston Villa FC jersey reminds fans of the club's home city,' is what they say. Yeah, I don't think this is the ode to Birmingham that Villa fans were crying out for. Premier League – 3. Brentford I've seen this described elsewhere as 'handsome', but I simply cannot get behind this brown monstrosity by Joma. Brentford's green and pink Umbro away kits from last season were far superior. Read – 2. Leeds United (third kit) This black Leeds shirt with blue and yellow blotches is enough to make you sick. Which is fitting because it looks like someone ate their (more than adequate) home and away tops and threw them up. Read – 1. Man City (third kit) Puma, just what are you doing? Manchester City's home jersey was bad enough to be ranked number one in our list of worst home kits, now they have revealed this… thing. Clearly this was designed to reduce me to tears because it is inspired by the Mancunian rain, featuring droplets set against a dreary grey background while the lime green trim provides a truly horrendous contrast in colours.

Thousands raised to help veterans become pilots
An "emotional" 24-hour rowing relay has raised more than £2,000 to help injured servicemen and women retrain as commercial pilots. Wings for Warriors, a charity which helps injured veterans fly, and Gloucestershire firefighters took it in turns to row their target of 250,000m (820,200ft) for the charity on an indoor rowing machine. The "row-a-thon" took place at Gloucestershire Airport, and the distance target was exceeded by 40,000m (131,200ft) "It's been really emotional, and really tiring as well, I'm looking forward to putting my feet up after this," Jason Ivey, managing director of the airport, said. More news stories for Gloucestershire Listen to the latest news for Gloucestershire Wings for Warriors works with military rehabilitation units, other charities, businesses, and the public to inspire injured veterans to build sustainable futures for themselves. The row began at midday on Wednesday, with the team giving themselves until midday on Thursday to hit the 250,000 metre target, which they reached at 08:52 BST. A total of £2,060 had been raised as of Friday afternoon through the row-a-thon, which Ben Lancaster, a beneficiary from Staverton, said was "so much fun". Mr Lancaster served in Afghanistan and was severely injured by an improvised explosive device. "I got discharged from the parachute regiment in 2013, it's been a long time trying to regain that sense of purpose, and now Wings for Warriors helped give that back to me," Mr Lancaster said. "The camaraderie, the laughs, and the push to squeeze out one more kilometre were brilliant." Mr Lancaster said the charity had rebuilt his "confidence and sense of direction". "We've got multiple examples of guys that have lost limbs, been severely burnt, proper traumatic injuries and at some point have been at a very low ebb in their lives," he said. "18 months to two years later, they're passed and flying for airlines as commercial pilots. It's a fantastic charity." Follow BBC Gloucestershire on Facebook, X and Instagram.
