Notes: The USGA resisted having this event until there were enough proven players 50 and older. There were 420 entries for a field of 120 players. … The field will be cut to 50 and ties after 36 holes. … Among the exempt players are Juli Inkser, Betsy King, Laura Davies, Joanne Carner and Hollis Stacy. … Chicago Golf Club is among the five founding clubs of the USGA and regarded as among the best in the country. It last hosted an open major at the 1911 U.S. Open, won by John McDermott.
