The addition of the U.S. Senior Women’s Open increasesd the num- ber of national championships conducted annually by the USGA to 14. In 2018, Laura Davies shot a final-round 68 to complete a dominating victory in the inaugural U.S. Senior Women’s Open at Chicago Golf Club, in Wheaton, Ill. Davies, who won the 1987 U.S. Women’s Open, finished at 16-under-par 276, 10 strokes clear of five-time USGA champion Juli Inkster. Helen Alfredsson topped Trish Johnson and Juli Inkster by two strokes to capture the 2nd U.S. Senior Women’s Open at Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club, with a 72-hole total of 1-over 285.
