Notable golfers who missed the cut at Women's British Open include the first-round leader
The afternoon wave got the brunt of the Welsh wind on Friday as scores soared. The cut line, which started at even, moved to 2 over as the day progressed at the 49th AIG Women's British Open. 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. This article originally appeared on Golfweek: Women's British Open: Who missed the cut at Royal Porthcawl?

Swede Lindblad gets first win in just third LPGA start
LOS ANGELES: Swedish LPGA rookie Ingrid Lindblad kept her cool to hold on to the lead and win the LA Championship at El Caballero Country Club on Sunday for her maiden victory on the tour. Lindblad held a share of the lead heading into the final round and fired a four-under par 68 to fend off threats from Germany's Ester Henseleit, who posted a brilliant eight-under par 64 and Japan's Nasa Hataoka who shot a nine-under 63. The 25-year-old had shared the lead overnight with Japan's Akie Iwai and American Lauren Coughlin – who both stayed in contention until the death. Lindblad made six birdies and a pair of bogeys in the first 11 holes and parred the last seven. She finished with a 21-under par total of 267 and, in just her third start on the LPGA Tour, was able to avoid a playoff when Iwai bogeyed the final hole. 'You should never not expect it, right? But obviously got it done in a couple starts – just kind of crazy,' said Lindblad of her first win. 'I made a couple birdies on the front nine and kind of just slowed down on the back. Obviously feel like I could have had a couple more on the back nine. But here we are,' she said. The Swede had a bit of good fortune when her drive on the par-four 13th went into the trees but bounced back on to the course and she was able to make par. 'I had hit pretty good tee shots on that hole so felt pretty confident. Obviously I think the left miss is almost better than the right because it kicks down in the fairway,' she said. Justin Leonard leads Chubb Classic, step closer to 1st Tour win 'I don't know the camera guy up there, but he was like, there is a little squirrel up there who was nice to you and bumped it out on the fairway,' she said. Coughlin finished tied for third along with Henseleit and Japan's Miyu Yamashita, who shot a six-under 66 and while the American paid the price for bogeys on the fifth and the 18th she was pleased with her week's work. 'I felt like I played really solid. Hit some really good shots. Just couldn't get the putts to go in today,' she said. 'But overall I played really, really good golf all week, so a lot of good things to take away going into our first major next week,' she added, looking ahead to the Chevron Championship in Houston. World number one Nelly Korda finished tied for 16th after making a double bogey on the 18th and carding an even-par 72.
