Yana Wilson took care of business in the first stage of her U.S. Girls’ Junior title defense. Now she’ll try to become the sixth medalist to hoist the Glenna Collett Vare Trophy since 2002.
Wilson, 16, of Henderson, Nev., carded a 4-under-par 68 on Tuesday at the U.S. Air Force Academy Eisenhower Golf Club’s Blue Course to earn medalist honors. Her 36-hole total of 6-under 138 was one stroke better than 2022 Augusta National Women’s Amateur champion Anna Davis, 17, of Spring Valley, Calif. Davis, who shared the first-round lead with University of Oregon incoming freshman Kiara Romero, shot a 71 in the second round.
Anna Davis and Kiara Romero have forged quite a friendship through junior golf. Two months ago, they were partners in the U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-Ball at The Home Course in DuPont, Wash., reaching the Round of 16.
Last week, they were paired together again in four-ball and foursomes (alternate-shot) at the Wyndham Cup in Santa Rosa, Calif., a Ryder Cup-style event conducted by the American Junior Golf Association.

Two things happened on Saturday at the 78th U.S. Women’s Open: the sun came out, and the brisk winds that make Pebble Beach Golf Links such a challenge arrived on property.
After two days of damp, overcast conditions, the third round of the first women’s major championship on these historic links featured the kind of weather so many have been accustomed to seeing when U.S. Opens are contested here.
Pebble Beach is one of those places where people come to rejuvenate their mind, body and soul. From the breathtaking vistas to its iconic golf courses and world-class amenities, it’s hard not to become a new person in this remarkable region of the world.

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 three U.S. Women’s Opens, and in 1949, 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 United States Golf Association (USGA) has announced tee times for the first two rounds of the 2023 U.S. Women’s Open Championship, Thursday (July 6) and Friday (July 7), at 6,509-yard, par-72 Pebble Beach (Calif.) Golf Links.
The U.S. Women’s Open is a 72-hole, stroke-play competition. A field of 156 players will play 18 holes of stroke play on July 6 and 7, after which the field will be reduced to the low 60 scores and ties. Those players making the cut will play 18 holes on July 8 and 9. If there is a tie upon the completion of 72 holes, a two-hole aggregate playoff will immediately follow. If this playoff results in a tie, the tied players will immediately continue to play off hole-by-hole until the winner is determined.
The United States Golf Association (USGA) today announced that three additional players have earned full exemptions into the 78th U.S. Women’s Open Championship, to be contested July 6-9 at Pebble Beach Golf Links, based on the current Women’s Rolex World Golf Rankings, bringing the number of fully exempt players to 89.

Now that Iwai is fully exempt, Chizuru Komiya, first alternate from the Japan qualifying site, has been added to the field and will also make her championship debut.
It was a Sunday for the ages for Bernhard Langer and his golf equipment sponsor Tour Edge at the 43rd U.S. Senior Open in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.
Their ageless staff player won for the 46th time on the PGA TOUR Champions, setting the record for all-time victories, picking up his 14th major championship trophy and breaking his own record as the oldest PGA TOUR winner at 65 years, 10 months and 5 days.
Rickie Fowler has undeniable momentum this season, and it was only a matter of time before the SoCal native captured the sixth PGA Tour victory of his decorated career. He got the job done on Sunday at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit, firing four spectacular rounds in the sixties for a -24 total, forcing a playoff where he was able to edge out Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin to earn the highly anticipated win.
“Rickie has been with us since the beginning.” said Dan Ladd, President, COBRA PUMA GOLF, “He’s adored by golf fans around the world and loved by everyone at Cobra Puma Golf. We’re thrilled with his comeback story and win at The Rocket Mortgage Classic. We’re all very proud of not only the way he plays but how he conducts himself. He’s a class act and true role model in the sports world.”

Your 54-hole leader, 65-year-old Bernhard Langer, is a two-time Masters champion looking to become the oldest winner of the championship by eight years.

Our vision is a bold one, but we are committed to working in collaboration with our fans, teams, players and partners to give back to our communities and our planet and use the game of golf that we love to bring positive change.”
To create a new paradigm for golfers, Callaway has reimagined how a driver is built from the ground up. This is a complete shift in performance, with a design that radically breaks the tradeoff between incredible distance and exceptional forgiveness.
The Paradym Shift Construction features an industry-first 360 Carbon Chassis that eliminates titanium from the body, so we can push weight and stability to the limit. All this performance is now featured in a sleeker, darker limited edition clubhead profile.
Bernhard Langer will tell anyone that age is just a number. The birth certificate might say he’s 65, but the German doesn’t look or play like someone headed for a comfortable retirement recliner.
