THE TEE SHEET
It has been 47 years since someone older than 24 years of age has won the U.S. Women’s Amateur. Cathy Sherk, of Canada, was a spritely 28 when she hoisted the Robert Cox Trophy at Sunnybrook Golf Club outside of Philadelphia. In the last 71 years, nobody over the age of 30 has won; the late Barbara McIntire (1964) and JoAnne Gunderson Carner (1968) were each 29. Macnab does not turn 24 until February of 2026.
While Bandon Dunes will never be mistaken for the country’s third-largest city, the true experience of the resort comes in the form of the breezes off the adjacent Pacific Ocean. It’s an aberration if the wind doesn’t blow at some time during the day. Given its location, temperatures at Bandon Dunes will be at least 20-30 degrees cooler than what most of the field has been competing in during the summer.
The U.S. Women’s Amateur becomes the ninth different USGA event to be held at the resort, following the 2006 Curtis Cup, 2007 U.S. Mid-Amateur, 2011 U.S. Amateur and Women’s Amateur Public Links, the 2015 U.S. Women’s Amateur Four-Ball, the 2019 U.S. Amateur Four-Ball, 2020 U.S. Amateur and 2022 U.S. Junior Amateur.
The five-time winner on the collegiate circuit and reigning SEC individual champion looks to add her name to the Robert Cox Trophy come Sunday.
