The AIG Women’s British Open is the fifth and final LPGA major of the season. After 18 holes, things are starting to take shape but the pressure is already on many who will battle to make the 36-hole cut.

Royal Porthcawl in Wales is the host venue this week for all the fun. This is the 49th Women’s Open but it’s the first one to be contested at this historic golf course.

Follow along all day Friday with Golfweek’s live cut line tracker right here.
