TULSA, Okla. — The best women’s amateur golfers in the world are in Oklahoma for the 124th U.S. Women’s Amateur.
Play began Monday at Southern Hills Country Club, which is hosting its 10th USGA championship and first major event since the 2022 PGA Championship, which Justin Thomas won. The field of 156 players will compete in two rounds of stroke play before a cut is made for the top 64 players. Any ties will be resolved, and match play begins Wednesday.
Defending champion Megan Schofill is in the field and looking to not only go back-to-back but earn a spot on the U.S. Curtis Cup team.
The championship final is set for Sunday and will be contested over 36 holes.
