OOLTEWAH, TN — After a marathon Saturday morning at The Honors Course, it’s time for the semifinals of the 2026 U.S. Women’s Amateur.
The day started with 16 players vying for their shot to survive three rounds of match play on Saturday, and now it’s down to four players trying to punch their ticket into Sunday’s 36-hole championship match. Storms have hampered the playing schedule the last three days, and chances remain Saturday afternoon, but the semifinals are set and will play as long as they can.
