The U.S. Women’s Senior Open begins today at the Fox Chapel Golf Club. This is the third time over the past two decades that the Club has hosted a national event. The field includes JoAnne Carner, Juli Inkster, Annika Sorenstam, Liselotte Neumann and long-time amateur Carol Semple Thompson, a native of Sewickley. Trish Johnson won the event last year.
Golf at the Olympics begins today and runs through Sunday. Xander Schauffele won the gold medal four years ago.
