Today is a great morning to be a golf fan. The second round of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur is underway, with 17-year-old Soomin Oh tied for the lead at seven under alongside Stanford’s Maria Jose Marin after Wednesday. Not too far behind is 17 year old Stanford commit, Asterisk Talley who set the nine hole course record on the back nine yesterday, enroute to a bogey free 66. Six-time ANWA participant Megha Ganne looks to rebound, after a first round 77 left her Saturday hopes in jeopardy.
