Top two junior golfers in the world to team up at Augusta National Women's Amateur
The top-ranked Asterisk Talley will have the top-ranked Miles Russell on her bag. Watch out.
Asterisk Talley will be making her third Augusta National Women's Amateur start next week. She’s finished inside the top 10 twice, and she’s coming off a one-stroke loss in 2025. But now the 17-year-old has a secret weapon heading into this year’s ANWA: No.
1 male junior Miles Russell on her bag. In an Avengers-esque team-up, Talley and Russell, the two best junior golfers in the world, will take on the preeminent event together in search of Talley’s first win at the home of the Masters. She, of course, has won her fair share of tournaments, recently becoming the first girls winner to have multiple victories at Sage Valley.
And she’ll certainly be the only player to have a caddie with back-to-back Junior Invitational titles. "Me and Miles are good friends, so I think it's nice for us to win this tournament," Talley said after the Junior Invitational. "I know it gives us both a lot of confidence, so I mean we just had a great week this week and I think we're going to take that with us for the next couple of tournaments.
" This also won’t be the first time the two have taken on a prestigious event together, as they have been teammates on the U. S. National Junior Team.
