With the U.S. Women’s Open coming up this weekend (May 30-June 2) at Lancaster CC, we wanted to share some resources from the USGA. This is definitely one of the biggest women’s golf events of the year so don’t miss out!
A tip from Annie Grace:
First off, when you head down to Pennsylvania, they pronounce Lancaster a little differently than we do up in Massachusetts. It is pronounced LANK-ah-STER (“Lank” as in “tall and lanky”) and as someone who knows people from that area– they get feisty when it is pronounced wrong.
We’ve compiled a list of ways you can follow the action this week:
THE NEWS
Lexi Thompson (29), who will have her 18th consecutive start of the U.S. Women’s Open announces her retirement from the LPGA. Thompson qualified for her first U.S. Women’s Open at age 12 and has become an icon of women’s golf ever since. To read about her story, click here.
Back in 2015, In Gee Chun, won at Lancaster CC, she and Allison Corpuz (2023 defending champion) talk about the 17th hole in this short video.
