The entire field will then play a practice round at Augusta National on Friday, before the top 30 do it there for real for the final round on Saturday.
This week marks a landmark occasion for golf, as for the first time the Augusta National Golf Club located in Atlanta, GA, will host the final round of a women's event.
The famous course has been home to The Masters, which is one of the four elite men's professional majors, since 1934 but has never hosted a female event. Speaking to the official tournament website Maria Fassi said"Until last year, having the chance to compete at Augusta National so early in my career is something I didn't know could be possible," said Fassi who plays her golf at the University of Arkansas and will also be part of the field for the event.
However, the prize for the Augusta National Women's Amateur Championship is quite different. The winner will collect a specially designed trophy, made in collaboration with Tiffany & Co. from sterling silver and a 24-karat yellow gold vermeil.
