Malixi (-4) Continues USGA Heater at U.S. Women's Am in Oklahoma

It comes as no surprise that birdies were hard to find during the first round of the 124th U.S. Women’s Amateur, given Southern Hills Country Club has long been renowned for its demanding test of golf. The last major championship played at the iconic Tulsa, Okla., venue was the 2022 PGA Championship, won by Justin Thomas with a final score of 5-under par. It’s the highest winning score of a PGA Championship over the last 16 years.

In what is the USGA’s tenth trip to Southern Hills, and first since the 2009 U.S. Amateur, Monday’s championship play saw just eight of the 156 players in the field finish the day under par, with an average score of 76.5.

Team USA’s Scottie Scheffler Wins Olympic Gold in Thrilling Finale at Le Golf National

Scottie Scheffler produced a spectacular 9-under 62 at Le Golf National on Sunday, equaling the course record and emerging from a star-studded leaderboard to win gold at the Olympic men’s golf competition. 

On a thrilling final day in the outskirts of Paris, the American was flawless from start to finish, reaching 19-under 265 as he surged to victory, highlighted by an impressive back-nine 29 to underline his status as the world No. 1. 

Final-Round 64 Propels Leta Lindley to ​​​​​​​U.S. Senior Women's Open Title at Fox Chapel

Leta Lindley, who had knocked on the door twice at the U.S. Senior Women’s Open, finally gained entry to the winner’s circle on Sunday with a sizzling final-round, 7-under-par 64 at demanding Fox Chapel Golf Club to win the championship by two strokes over Kaori Yamamoto. Lindley’s 72-hole winning score was 9-under-par 275.

Beginning the final round five strokes behind Yamamoto, who led after each previous round, Lindley made birdies on five of the first eight holes to pull two strokes ahead. By the time play entered the treacherous back nine, Lindley was at 7 under par and Yamamoto at 6 under with no one else closer than five strokes, essentially becaming a two-woman race down the stretch.

Kaori Yamamoto Chased by Experienced Players Heading into U.S. Senior Women's Open's Final Round

Among the things in plenty of supply at the 6th U.S. Senior Women’s Open – along with talent – is experience. These women have seen it all, and that knowledge was helpful on Saturday when dangerous weather at Fox Chapel Golf Club halted third round play for three hours. When play resumed, Kaori Yamamoto ran into some choppy water but ended 54 holes at 7-under-par 206, five strokes ahead of a ton of experience.

Yamamoto, who has played the Japan LPGA and Japan Legends Tour combined for three decades, relied on her experience to hold off a pair of World Golf Hall of Fame members: Annika Sorenstam, a four-time USGA champion, and Juli Inkster who has five USGA trophies at home, plus Leta Lindley, who has been runner-up in the last two U.S. Senior Women’s Opens and Mikino Kubo. They are all five back at 211.

Schauffele in Position to Land Back to Back Gold, Shares Lead with Rahm

Xander Schauffele holds a share of the lead alongside Spain’s Jon Rahm ahead of the final round of the Olympic men’s golf competition as he looks to win back-to-back gold medals.

The American arrived at his second appearance at the Games on the back of winning The Open Championship two weeks ago and has continued his excellent form at Le Golf National.

Kaori Yamamoto Sets 36-Hole Scoring Record at Weather-Delayed U.S. Senior Women's Open

Part of the test of championship golf is the ability to adapt to whatever life throws at you, whether it’s a bad lie, bad bounce or, in the case of Friday’s second round of the 6th U.S. Senior Women’s Open, bad weather. With tee times at Fox Chapel Golf Club delayed more than three hours by nature, it’s somehow fitting that Kaori Yamamoto, whose circuitous path to this championship included caddying in it last year and going through a qualifier this year, has the lead going into the weekend.

With most of Friday's afternoon wave needing to finish their second round Saturday morning, Yamamoto is at 8-under-par par 134, breaking the 36-hole scoring record for the championship by two strokes. Of those who finished on Friday, the closest chasers are five-time USGA champion Juli Inkster, four-time USGA champion Annika Sorenstam and Leta Lindley at 2-under-par 140, six strokes behind Yamamoto.

USGA Announces Tee Times for 124th U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship

There will be six rounds of match play, starting Aug. 7. The championship is scheduled to conclude with a 36-hole final on Sunday, Aug. 11, beginning at 8 a.m. CDT.

Kaori Yamamoto Sizzles to First Round Lead at 6th U.S. Senior Women’s Open

The hot, humid air clung to the hills hovering over the Allegheny River and turned an already challenging Fox Chapel Golf Club in Pittsburgh into an even hotter pressure cooker in Thursday’s first round of the 6th U.S. Senior Women’s Open. As late-day shadows crept across the course, Kaori Yamamoto, who played in the heat of the afternoon, was in at 4-under-par 67, one stroke better than Christa Johnson and Lisa Grimes, who went out in the relative cool of the morning.

At 69 is two-time runner-up Leta Lindley with Mikino Kubo and Corina Kelepouris, who made an eagle on the par-4 fifth hole, at 70. Alicia Dibos, Catrin Nilsmark, amateur Kristine Franklin and Annika Sorenstam are at even-par 71.

They need to be fast and long off the tee, and they need to fly high and hold greens. Playability and forgiveness are hugely important as well. The changes we made to GT fairways help deliver across all these performance attributes.”

All the advancements found in GT are working in concert to create the highest-performing driver we have ever made.”

ABOUT SOUTHERN HILLS COUNTRY CLUB 

Southern Hills Country Club, which was designed by Perry Maxwell, opened for play in 1936 and is situated on land that was donated by oilman Waite Phillips. There have been several course modifications over the decades, including a recent restoration by Gil Hanse.

Zaharias would go on to win three U.S. Women’s Open titles. 

Retief Goosen won the first of his two U.S. Opens in an 18-hole playoff with Mark Brooks in 2001 at Southern Hills. Tommy Bolt and Hubert Green won their U.S. Opens there in 1958 and 1977, respectively. 

Southern Hills has also been the site of five PGA Championships, most recently in 2022 when Justin Thomas defeated Will Zalatoris in a playoff. Other winners of PGA Championships at Southern Hills include Tiger Woods (2007), Nick Price (1994), Raymond Floyd (1982) and Dave Stockton (1970).

CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY 

The U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship is one of the United States Golf Association’s original three championships. It was first conducted in 1895, shortly after the inaugural U.S. Amateur and U.S. Open. The Women’s Amateur has been conducted every year since, except 1917-18, when it was suspended due to World War I, and 1942-45, when it was suspended due to World War II. 

The most decorated champion is Glenna Collett Vare, a lifelong amateur who won the Cox Trophy a record six times. Second to Vare is JoAnne Gunderson Carner, who won five U.S. Women’s Amateur Championships. Combined with her two wins in the U.S. Women’s Open and one victory in the U.S. Girls’ Junior, Carner’s eight USGA titles are tied with Jack Nicklaus and eclipsed only by Bob Jones and Tiger Woods, who have each won nine. 

U.S. Women’s Amateur champions seem to possess a remarkable facility to repeat. Beatrix Hoyt, Alexa Stirling, Vare, Virginia Van Wie and Juli Inkster have all won the U.S. Women’s Amateur three consecutive times. Another seven champions – Genevieve Hecker, Dorothy Campbell, Margaret Curtis, Betty Jameson, Kay Cockerill, Kelli Kuehne and Danielle Kang – have won two in a row. 

The U.S. Women’s Amateur has long identified some of golf’s greatest female players, many of whom have gone on to successful professional careers. Along with the champions listed above, Patty Berg, Babe Didrikson Zaharias, Louise Suggs, Marlene Stewart Streit, Anne Quast Sander, Barbara McIntire, Catherine Lacoste, Carol Semple Thompson, Beth Daniel, Morgan Pressel and Lydia Ko have secured a place in golf history.
