This is the 76th U.S. Women’s Open Championship and the fourth in the state of California.
The first U.S. Women’s Open, played at Spokane (Wash.) Country Club in 1946 and won by Patty Berg, was the only one conducted at match play. The Women’s Professional Golfers Association (WPGA) conducted the Women’s Open until 1949, when the newly formed Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) took over operation of the championship. The LPGA ran the Women’s Open for four years, but in 1953 asked the United States Golf Association (USGA) to conduct the championship, which it has done ever since.
The youngest winner of the U.S. Women’s Open is Inbee Park, who won the 2008 championship at age 19 years, 11 months and 17 days. Babe Didrikson Zaharias, who won the 1954 Women’s Open at age 43 years and 7 days, is the oldest winner.
In 1967, Catherine Lacoste, of France, the daughter of hall-of-fame tennis player Rene Lacoste and 1927 British Ladies Amateur champion Simone Thion de la Chaume, became the only amateur to win the U.S. Women’s Open. Seven other amateurs, most recently Hye-Jin Choi in 2017, have had runner-up or co-runner-up finishes.

Notable Amateur Storylines
Amari Avery, 17, of Riverside, Calif., will compete in her first U.S. Women’s Open. She was featured in the 2013 Netflix documentary, “The Short Game,” which followed several juniors at the U.S. Kids Championship in Pinehurst, N.C. In 2019, she advanced to the semifinals of the U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-Ball with partner Alexa Pano, who was also featured in “The Short Game.” Avery advanced to the Round of 32 in last summer’s U.S. Women’s Amateur and reached the Round of 16 in the 2018 U.S. Girls’ Junior. Avery, who captured the 2019 California Women's Amateur Championship, has committed to attend the University of Southern California in 2022.
Megha Ganne, 17, of Holmdel, N.J., is a four-time Drive, Chip and Putt National Finalist finishing as high as second in 2019 and competed in the Augusta National Women’s Amateur this April. Ganne played in the 2019 U.S. Women’s Open in Charleston, S.C., as a 15-year-old and later that summer reached the semifinals of the U.S. Women’s Amateur at Old Waverly. In 2020, after advancing to match play in the U.S. Women’s Amateur, she finished the year with top-five finishes at the AJGA Girls’ Championship, the Rolex Tournament of Champions and the Dixie Amateur. This will be her eighth USGA championship and second U.S. Women's Open.
Rachel Heck, 19, of Memphis, Tenn., capped off a remarkable freshman season with the Stanford Cardinal on May 24 by winning the individual title in the NCAA Division I Women's Championship at Grayhawk Golf Club. It was Heck’s fifth consecutive individual victory this season, and sixth total, including wins at the NCAA Stanford Regional, the Pac-12 Championships and the U.S. Open Collegiate Invitational, which was held at The Olympic Club. She is making her second U.S. Women’s Open start after tying for 33rd in 2017. Last August, Heck was the stroke-play medalist in the U.S. Women’s Amateur before losing in the Round of 16. Along with current fellow Stanford freshman Sadie Englemann, she advanced to the semifinals of the 2019 U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-Ball.
Tsubasa Kajitani, 17, of Japan, will make her first U.S. Women's Open start after edging Wake Forest All-American Emilia Migliaccio in a sudden-death playoff to claim the 2021 Augusta National Women's Amateur in early April. Kajitani carded an even-par 72 to pass 54-hole leader and world No. 1 Rose Zhang in the final round, then parred the 18th hole at Augusta National to win the playoff. In 2019, Kajitani won the Japan Junior and finished second in the Australian Women's Amateur.
Gina Kim, 21, of Durham, N.C., is a junior at Duke University making her third U.S. Women’s Open start. She was the low amateur in 2019 at the Country Club of Charleston (S.C.), tying for 12th at 1-under 283 after she opened with a 66 to match the lowest score by an amateur in U.S. Women’s Open history. Kim was one of 12 players invited to an informal practice session for this summer’s Curtis Cup Match in Wales. She is a two-time semifinalist in USGA events: the 2018 U.S. Girls’ Junior at Poppy Hills and the 2017 U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-Ball with Jennifer Chang. This past January, she won the Harder Hall Invitational in Sebring, Fla.
Rose Zhang, 17, of Irvine, Calif., defeated defending champion Gabriela Ruffels to win the 2020 U.S. Women’s Amateur last August, which earned her a spot into the championship. She is currently No. 1 in the Women’s World Amateur Golf Ranking. Her incredible 2020 season also includes three American Junior Golf Association individual titles and an 11th-place finish and low-amateur honors in the ANA Inspiration in September. Zhang was awarded the McCormack Medal by the USGA and R&A last year for being the leading female in the WAGR. She is the reigning AJGA Rolex Player of the Year for a second consecutive year. She finished T3 in the 2021 Augusta National Women’s Amateur. Zhang is making her third U.S. Women’s Open start.

Club History
In 1918, The Olympic Club assumed operation of the financially-troubled Lakeside Golf Club and its 18-hole course designed by Wilfrid Reid. Club leaders quickly realized that they would need to expand their country home and purchased enough acreage to replace the original course with two new 18-hole golf courses (the Lake and Ocean Courses), and build a new clubhouse. The courses opened in 1924 with the clubhouse following in 1925.
The Olympic Club at Lakeside has fostered impressive golf talent over the years. Several have been inducted into the club’s Hall of Fame including Dorothy Traung, Bob Rosburg, William Higgins, Ken Venturi, Johnny Miller and John Abendroth. Three of the gentlemen above, all of whom were previous club champions, won USGA titles in the same year. In 1964, Venturi won the U.S. Open, Higgins won the U.S. Senior Amateur and Miller won the U.S. Junior Amateur — a unique accomplishment to this day.
The Lake Course was designed by course superintendent Sam Whiting and opened for play in 1924. After damage from winter storms in 1925-26, Sam Whiting redesigned the course, which reopened in 1927 with only the first four holes unchanged. Improvements and updates were made by Robert Trent Jones Sr. before the 1955 U.S. Open and by Bill Love ahead of the 2007 U.S. Amateur and 2012 U.S. Open. The Olympic Club is recognized as one of the first 100 golf clubs established in the United States.
