It's on to Round 2 at the 2025 AIG Women's British Open, held this year at Royal Porthcawl in Wales. Lydia Ko is the defending champion after claiming the Women's British Open a year ago at St. Andrews and after 18 holes, she is tied for 74th after a 1-over round on Thursday.

Rio Takeda overcame a double bogey at the turn with four birdies over her final seven holes Thursday for a 5-under 67 to share the lead with Eri Okayama in a Women’s Open that featured a Japanese surge and a mixed day for Lottie Woad.
