The US Women's Open is the oldest and arguably most prestigious Major in the women's game, with the USGA-run championship dating back to 1946.
Its first year was a match play contest, won by Patty Berg, before it quickly made the transition to the 72-hole strokeplay that we know today. Betsy Rawls and Mickey Wright hold the record for most US Women's Open wins with four each. From 1951 to 1964, they combined for an incredible eight victories in the Major.
The record US Women's Open scores are owned by Minjee Lee and Juli Inkster. Australia's Lee won at Pine Needles in 2022 with a record 271 total, while Inkster set the lowest ever score-to-par of -16 in 1999 at Old Waverly.
Babe Zaharias, Susie Berning, Hollis Stacy and Annika Sorenstam all won three US Women's Opens, while the likes of Inbee Park, Juli Inkster, Meg Mallon and Karrie Webb have been multiple winners.
