Caterina Don, a Georgia golf signee who will join the Bulldogs this fall as a freshman, is tied for 11th following the first two rounds of the inaugural Augusta National Women’s Amatuer. The native of Pinerolo, Italy, is among 30 golfers who have advanced to Saturday’s final round at famed Augusta National.

Don posted a 1-over 73 on Wednesday and was tied for 21st at the end of the day. She spent most of the first round in red numbers, with birdies at No. 1 and No. 3 before a trio of bogeys at No. 12, No. 13 and No. 17.

On Thursday, Don carded an even-par 72. She teed off from No. 10 and played the back half of the Champions Retreat layout first. Don turned at 1-over over after mixing bogey at No. 10 and No. 12 with a birdie at No. 18. She moved under par with birdies at No. 3 and No. 4 but gave one of those strokes back with a bogey at No. 5. Following a birdie at No. 7, Don completed her loop with a bogey at No. 9.

Don is currently ranked No. 38 in the World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR). Since 2017, she has notched four wins and posted 14 top-10 finishes in WAGR events, including wins at the 2017 and 2018 Italian U18 National Championship. She also finished sixth at the 2018 World Junior Girls Championship. In addition, Don helped Italy to the team title at the 2016 European Girls’ Team Championship.

The first two rounds of the Augusta National Women’s Am were contested at Champions Retreat. Following a practice round at Augusta National on Friday, the top-30 golfers from the first two rounds will compete for the Amateur title on Saturday. Final round coverage will be featured on NBC from noon-3:30 on Saturday.
