U.S. Women’s Open among four USGA championships headed to The Country Club

The slate of USGA championships headed to The Country Club just about has something for everyone. On Thursday, the game’s governing body announced that the historic club in Brookline, Massachusetts, will host four upcoming championships: 2030 U.S. Girls’ Junior, 2034 U.S. Amateur, 2038 U.S. Open and 2045 U.S. Women’s Open.

The Country Club has previously hosted 17 USGA championships, second only to Merion with 18. Last year, England’s Matt Fitzpatrick won the U.S. Open at The Country Club nine years after winning the U.S. Amateur there.

When the U.S. Open returns in 2038, it will mark the 125th anniversary of Francis Ouimet’s celebrated win. Ouimet became the first amateur to win the U.S. Open in 1913.

Founded in 1882, The Country Club was one of five founding member clubs of the USGA. The 1902 U.S. Women’s Amateur was its first national championship. Other USGA championships played at the club include six U.S. Amateurs (1910, 1922, 1934, 1957,1982 and 2013) as well as the 1941 and 1995 U.S. Women’s Amateurs, the 1932 and 1973 Walker Cup Matches, the 1953 U.S. Girls’ Junior and the 1968 U.S. Junior Amateur.  Additionally, the club was the site of the 1999 Ryder Cup.

The 2045 U.S. Women’s Open will be the first ever held at The Country Club. Earlier this year, Allisen Corpuz won the first USWO ever held at Pebble Beach.
