The Women’s Open 410


                               This week the Women’s Open

 

 

Held at the Old Course, St. Andrews

6649 Yards Par 71

 

 

 

The Defending Champion is Lilia Vu

 

 

 

In the TH our Open Champion last year was Wendy

 

 

 

The ladies go to the home of golf for the last Major of 2024.  First played in 1976, when the Amateur Open was extended to include professionals.  Amateurs won two of the first three events and there hasn’t been an amateur champion since.  That first Champion was then amateur Jenny Smith.

 

 

 

 

It became a Major in 2001 when the Canadian Open lost its sponsor.  The first ‘Major’ Champion was Se-ri Pak, and unlike some other events she actually got more money than the previous year’s regular tour event winner.

 

 

 

 

FUN FACT:  Unlike its male counterpart, the Women’s Open does not just play at links venues.   Last year’s event was not a links course . . . but with St Andrews this year, four of the last five have been links courses that are part of the rota for the Men’s Open Championship.
