Amari Avery Uses Teammate’s Clubs to Stay in Contention at U.S. Women’s Open

Her own clubs are scheduled to arrive Saturday before the third round at Erin Hills.

Overview

  • A Thursday break-in attempt at Avery’s Milwaukee rental forced her to move into a hotel overnight.
  • Her boyfriend, Gavin Aurilia, accidentally took her golf bag to Los Angeles on Friday, leaving her without clubs for round two.
  • Gabriela Ruffels, her former USC teammate, lent Avery her TaylorMade clubs and even a hat so she could complete the second round.
  • A weather suspension interrupted play, but Avery carded a 71 to sit at 1-under-par and tied for 29th after two rounds.
  • Aurilia’s mother is flying to Wisconsin with Avery’s clubs in time for Saturday’s third round.
