Qualifying for this year’s U.S. Women’s Open is underway.
Unlike on the men’s side, there is no local qualifying, just an overall, 36-hole qualifying for the women. There are 26 sites across the U.S., plus one each in Canada, Japan and England between April 20 and May 13. A player needed a 2.4 Handicap Index in order to compete.
The U.S. Women’s Open will be contested June 4-7 at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles, California. Here’s a look at the qualifying sites and results, per the USGA (a=amateur; spots available in parentheses).
