SPRINGFIELD, N.J. — This week marks the first time Baltusrol’s Lower Course will host a women’s major since 1961. No one in the field at this week’s KPMG Women’s PGA was born when Mickey Wright won her third U.S. Women’s Open title that year.
This week presents a history lesson for the best female players in the world as they tackle a course that saw Jack Nicklaus win two U.S. Open titles and Phil Mickelson win a PGA Championship. The first USGA championship ever held at Baltusrol was the U.S. Women’s Amateur back in 1901.
