The second round of the 50th AIG Women’s Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in Lancashire is set to begin with a full schedule of pairings and tee times. The field of 144 competitors will tee off throughout the day, with the early morning groups starting at 6:30 am BST and the final groups finishing in the late afternoon. The headline story heading into round two is the impressive start posted by Haeran Ryu.
The Korean star, who is chasing a third consecutive major title after securing victories at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and the Amundi Evian Championship, opened with a six‑under‑par 66 on Thursday morning. Ryu will lead the marquee group that also includes Lydia Ko and Nelly Korda. Both Ko and Korda posted a two‑over‑par 73 in the first round and will need to improve markedly in order to stay in contention for a third major win this season. Among the other notable pairings, Lottie Woad, who recorded a flawless bogey‑free 69 on Thursday, will again start in the afternoon wave, giving her a chance to build on her solid opening performance.
Charley Hull, a fan favourite, will tee off at 8:42 am in the morning wave alongside fellow Australians Hannah Green and Canadian Brooke Henderson. Hull’s three‑ball coverage will be highlighted by Sky Sports, offering viewers an in‑depth look at her strategy on the challenging links layout.
The schedule continues with a detailed list of tee times, each presented in British Summer Time (BST) unless otherwise noted. The first wave begins at 06:30 with Jing Yan, Agathe Laisne (France) and Lauren Walsh (Ireland).
