The Women's Open 16 USGA JOURNAL AND TURF MANAGEMENT: JUNE, 1953 The Women's Open The Women's Open Championship, which will take place at the Country Club of Rochester, N. Y., June 25 through 27, is not a new championship, yet it will in­ volve a series of "firsts." The 72-hole stroke play competition will be the first conducted by the USGA, which assumed the responsibility at the request of the Ladies' Professional Golf­ ers' Association. It will be the first USGA women's championship to be "open" in the broad sense of the term—open not only to pro­ fessionals but also to any amateurs handi­ capped at five or under. There is no club- membership requirement. Entries on of­ ficial forms must, of course, be received at the USGA office no later than Monday, June 15. It will also be the first playing for the permanent silver trophy provided by the USGA, in addition to the $7,500 which will be distributed to the first twelve pro­ fessionals, or more in the event of ties. The leading professional will receive $2,000 and the leading amateur a gold pin.

  • Weekend Win Marks 17Th Victory for Dynamic ERC Fusion Driver, HX Tour Golf Ball Combination from Callaway Golf; 72Nd Worldwide Win for Sorenstam
    Weekend Win Marks 17th Victory for Dynamic ERC Fusion Driver, HX Tour Golf Ball Combination from Callaway Golf; 72nd Worldwide Win for Sorenstam CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 13, 2004--Coming off a four-week break, Callaway Golf (NYSE:ELY) Staff Professional Annika Sorenstam returned to competition at the John Q. Hammons Hotel Classic in Tulsa, Oklahoma and finished Sunday in typical form -- at No. 1. Sorenstam, 33, used the powerful pairing of the ERC(R) Fusion(R) Driver and HX(R) Tour Golf Ball to post her fifth LPGA Tour and seventh international victory of the season. This latest win makes Sorenstam one of only three players in the 54-year history of the LPGA to earn at least five wins in five consecutive seasons; fellow World Golf Hall of Fame members Kathy Whitworth did so in 1965-69, as did Mickey Wright in 1960-64. Sorenstam's victory also moves her within two wins of Betsy Rawls, who is fifth on the all-time wins list. Sorenstam shot rounds of 66-68-70 at the three-round tournament at Cedar Ridge Country Club, finishing with a 9-under-par total of 204 and a four-stroke margin. She recorded only five bogeys over a total of 54 holes. Sorenstam's win on Sunday with the ERC Fusion Driver and HX Tour Golf Ball marked the 17th worldwide professional win for the Fusion Technology and HEX Aerodynamics combination. As she has in every win of her professional career, Sorenstam relied upon equipment from the Callaway Golf family of brands, including a Big Bertha(R) Strong 4-wood and 7-wood, Steelhead(R) X-14(R) Irons, 48- and 54-degree Callaway Golf Forged+ Wedges and an Odyssey(R) White Hot(R) 2-Ball Blade Putter.
