What’s the most challenging hole at Augusta National? Answers vary from ANWA competitors

Some of the answers may surprise you.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — After a long week down the road at Champions Retreat Golf Club, all 72 players in the 2022 Augusta National Women’s Amateur field made the famous trip down Magnolia Lane on Friday to play a practice round at the famed course between the Georgia Pines.

For some it was a return to the picture-perfect gem that hosts the Masters every year. For others it was their first time. Sure, they’ve watched previous versions of the ANWA and Masters, but teeing it up is a whole new experience.

Last year we asked the professionals what they thought were the best holes and sneaky-hardest holes. This year, we asked the amateurs (and some answers may surprise you).
