AUSTIN, Texas — Sophomore All-American Bohyun Park will compete in the 2023 Augusta National Women's Amateur, held March 29-April 1 in Augusta, Ga.
Park will tee off on Wednesday at 7:58 a.m. CT and will be paired with Ingrid Linblad (Sweden) and Mizuki Hashimoto (Japan).
Beginning the week prior to the 87th Masters Tournament, the international field will compete across 54 holes of stroke play, with a cut to 30 players and ties taking place after 36 holes. The first two rounds will take place on the Island and Bluff nines at Champions Retreat Golf Club on Wednesday, March 29 and Thursday, March 30. The entire field will then play Augusta National for an official practice round on Friday, March 31. The final round will take place at Augusta National on Saturday, April 1 and will feature the competitors who made the cut.
Park earned All-America honors as a freshman as she played in 11 tournaments with a stroke average of 72.65 and posted a team-best 15 rounds at par or better. In her sophomore season Park finished tied for second-place in the ANNIKA Intercollegiate and tied for 11th in The Momorial.
"Receiving my first invitation to play in the ANWA was a moment that will always remain etched in my memory," Park said. "To be given the opportunity to participate in such a prestigious event, surrounded by some of the best players in the world, is truly an honor."
"Augusta National Golf Club is holy ground for golfers," Texas head coach Ryan Murphy said. "Simply being able to play there is an honor and for most a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. To compete there is a dream. The ANWA invitation is very hard to get. Only 72 of the very best in the world receive an invite and Bohyun is one of them. I'm very proud of Bo for this honor and also for the person that she is. Bo has always represented The University of Texas in a first-class manner and I know that she will continue to do so at this year's Augusta National Women's Amateur."
New in 2023, the first and second rounds of the Augusta National Women's Amateur will be broadcast live on Golf Channel (1:30-3:30 p.m. ET) from Champions Retreat Golf Club. NBC Sports will produce and broadcast three hours (Noon-3 p.m. ET) of live final-round coverage of the event at Augusta National. Additionally, Golf Channel's "Live From the Masters" will commence on Friday, April 1 at Augusta National to provide coverage of the Augusta National Women's Amateur, the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals and the Masters Tournament.
