This is the 83rd USGA championship and ninth U.S. Women’s Open contested in Pennsylvania, both of which are records. , one of the pioneers of women’s golf, won the second of her four Women’s Opens in 1959 at Churchill Valley Country Club in Pittsburgh. Eight-time USGA champion JoAnne Gunderson Carner won both of her Women’s Opens on Pennsylvania soil: in 1971 at the Kahkwa Club in Erie, and in 1976 at Rolling Green Golf Club in Springfeld. won the frst of her Women’s Opens in 1992 at Oakmont Country Club. Pennsylvania hosted consecutive Women’s Opens in 2009 and 1010, with Eun-Hee Ji and winning at Saucon Valley Country Club and Oakmont, respectively. Lancaster Country Club’s William S. Flynn design promises to create an exciting championship and further the growing popularity of women’s golf. Lucy Li qualifying and competing with the best players in the world at 11 years of age, as well as Michelle Wie’s frst Women’s Open victory, inspired present and future generations of female golfers last year at Pinehurst No. 2. As evidenced by last year’s record number of entries, women’s golf is on an uptick. We are excited to see the game take the next step forward at Lancaster Country Club. The support from the local community, without which this championship could not be successful, has been tremendous since the outset. On behalf of the USGA volunteers and staf, thank you for your eforts. Thank you to the spectators joining us this week and good luck to the competitors. We hope everyone’s experience is an enjoyable one! Sincerely

4 ABOUT THE U.S. WOMEN’S OPEN The U.S. Women’s Open was added to the United States Golf Association’s roster of championships in 1953, 58 years after the frst U.S. Women’s Amateur. The reason for the USGA’s relatively late assumption of the Women’s Open is simple: women’s professional golf is fairly new. When turned professional in 1938, she and were two of the very few women golf professionals in the world. Unlike the other 12 national championships conducted by the USGA, the Women’s Open was created by another organization. In 1946, the short-lived Women’s Professional Golfers Association introduced the Women’s Open at at Spokane (Wash.) Country Club. The frst Women’s Open was the only one conducted at match play. won the 36-hole qualifying medal in 1946, and then won the championship by defeating , 5 and 4, in the 36-hole fnal. In its 70-year history, the U.S. Women’s Open has reigned as the world’s greatest women’s championship, attracting steadily increasing numbers of entries and spectators. Whereas only 37 contestants played in 1953, in 1976 the feld jumped to 205 players and sectional qualifying was introduced. In 2001, a then-record 980 contestants entered. A four-day attendance record of 41,200 was set in 1979 at Brooklawn Country Club in Fairfeld, Conn. At the 50th Women’s Open, in 1995, that record was more than doubled at The Broadmoor Golf Club in Colorado Springs, Colo. In recent years, the U.S. Women’s Open has truly become the world arena of women’s golf, with entries having topped the 1,000 mark every year since 2004. Since 1990, 13 championships have been won by foreign-born players, while only three of the frst 41 champions were foreign-born. The emergence of the Women’s Open as a great international contest came in 1987, when England’s prevailed in an 18-hole playof against Japan’s Ayako Okamoto and JoAnne Gunderson Carner of the United States. Another foreign-born player, Annika Sorenstam, of Sweden, established the 72-hole scoring record of 8-under- 272 at Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club in 1996. matched that 72-hole score of 272, also setting a record in relation to par at 16 under, in 1999.
