73Rd U.S. Women's Open Championship – Notebook 73rd U.S. Women’s Open Championship – Notebook May 29- June 3, 2018, Shoal Creek, Shoal Creek, Ala. mediacenter.usga.org | uswomensopen.com | #USWomensOpen This is the 73rd U.S. Women’s Open Championship and the first in the state of Alabama. 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.

She was a member of the 2016 Curtis Cup Team that lost to GB&I, 11.5-8.5. A sophomore at Stanford University, she garnered several honors following her freshman year, including Pac-12 freshman of the year, Pac-12 first team and Ping/Women’s Golf Coaches Association freshman of the year. Picking up where she left off, her sophomore season began with three individual victories in her first five starts. Lee was the runner-up in the 2016 U.S. Girls’ Junior, and a semifinalist in the 2014 U.S. Women’s Amateur. She has also won two SCGA Women’s Amateur titles and will be one of two returning members of the USA Curtis Cup Team in the 40th Curtis Cup Match next week. Lucy Li, 15, the youngest player in the field, is competing in her second U.S. Women’s Open. In 2014, she was the youngest qualifier in championship history and missed the cut by seven strokes at Pinehurst No. 2. Earlier in 2014, Li won the Drive, Chip, & Putt Championship for her age division. In 2016, Li won the Junior PGA Championship and played on the victorious USA Junior Ryder Cup. Li’s most recent wins include the 2017 PING Invitational and the 2017 Rolex Tournament of Champions. She is a member of the 2018 Curtis Cup USA Team and will participate in the Match in June at Quaker Ridge Golf Club in Scarsdale, N.Y. Albane Valenzuela, 20, is currently fourth in the Women’s World Amateur Golf Ranking™, the highest in the field. Valenzuela was the runner-up in the 2017 U.S. Women’s Amateur to fellow 2018 U.S. Women’s Open competitor Sophia Schubert. In 2015, Valenzuela earned victories in the Spanish International Stroke Play, the Doral Publix Junior Classic, and the Junior Orange Bowl Championship. Sophia Schubert, 22, a senior who plays golf at the University of Texas, won the 2017 U.S. Women’s Amateur, defeating Albane Valenzuela, who was ranked No. 3 in the Women’s World Amateur Golf Ranking, in the final match. Schubert is exempt into the 2018 U.S. Women’s Open by virtue of that win, and this will be her first appearance in the championship. She was named an All-Big 12 Conference golfer in 2016 and 2017. Schubert helped the Longhorns claim the 2018 Big 12 Conference championship after tying for eighth as an individual. She captured three Tennessee state high school championships (2010, 2012, 2013) for Christian Academy of Knoxville. She is a member of the 2018 USA Curtis Cup Team and will participate in the Match this June at Quaker Ridge Golf Club in Scarsdale, N.Y.

Bell to be wind-and sea-swept golf courses that would afford golfers both rugged play and breathtaking surroundings. His son William F. Bell ensured the completion of the North and South Courses which opened in 1957. Both courses play host annually to the Buick Invitational and the Junior World Championship. The South Course will undoubtedly test the shot-making skills of the world’s best with tight fairways and lush rough, as well as trees, bunkers and sand. While walking Torrey Pines’ picturesque coastal bluffs, tournament patrons will enjoy breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean’s majestic coastline and natural canyons. In 2001, celebrated golf course designer Rees Jones was given the task of remodeling the South Course, an endeavor that has been met with almost universal acclaim. The Torrey Pines South Course hosted the 2008 US Open where Tiger Woods claimed one of his most memorable victories. FORMAT: 72-holes, stroke play, no cut PURSE: $1,000,000, winner’s share -- $250,000 FIELD: The Tournament field will consist of many of the top 20 players in the world, including: Defending Champion – Paula Creamer 2008 – LPGA Leading Money Winner – Lorena Ochoa 2008 – LPGA Vare Trophy Winner – Lorena Ochoa 2009 – Kraft Nabisco Championship Winner – Brittany Lincicome 2009 – McDonald’s LPGA Championship Winner 2009 – U.S. Women’s Open Championship Winner 2009 – Ricoh Women’s British Open Winner 2009 – Leading “Active” LPGA Hall of Fame Member as of August 31, 2009 2009 – Ladies European Tour Leading Money Winner as of August 31, 2009 2009 – Championship Committee Invitation 2009 – Top money holders on the 2008 LPGA Tour as of August 31, 2009 TELEVISION: Thursday, Sept.
