OK, technically this option is already restricted to half the population, but it's one more option than there was a year ago.
The Augusta National Women's Amateur will feature the 72 top women amateurs the week prior to the Masters, with the first two rounds to be held at Champions Retreat Golf Club in nearby Evans, Ga. Only the 30 players and ties who made the cut will get to play a tournament round at Augusta National, but as a consolation, everyone in the field, including those going home after 36 holes, will play a practice round at the Masters home the Friday before the final round.
