List of U.S. Women's Open champions
The U.S. Women's Open is an annual golf competition that was established in 1946.[1] As of 1953, the championship is sanctioned by the United States Golf Association (USGA), which is the governing body of the game in the United States.[2] Previously, the event was played as the "Ladies" Open, and was sanctioned by the Women's Professional Golfers Association from 1946–1948.[2] In addition, the LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) sanctioned this tournament from 1949–1952.[2] This event is one of the five women's major championships. The other major championships are the ANA Inspiration Championship, the LPGA Championship, the Women's British Open, and The Evian Championship.[3] This event has always been played in stroke play with the exception of the first competition in 1946,[4] and is currently the second women's major of the year.[5]
The first trophy presented to the champions was from the Spokane Athletic Round Table, until 1953.[2] The original trophy by the USGA was designed by the silversmith of J. E. Caldwell and Co. of Philadelphia.[2] This trophy was first presented to the champion in 1953, when Betsy Rawls won, and was retired to the USGA Museum in 1992.[2] Now, the champion receives the Harton S. Semple trophy, named for a former USGA Committeeman and the USGA President from 1973–1974.[2] His family and friends commissioned a replacement replica trophy in July 1992.[2] The first winner to receive it was Patty Sheehan in 1992.[2]
Rawls and Mickey Wright hold the record for the most victories with four.[1] The most consecutive wins at the event is two by Wright, Susie Berning, Hollis Stacy, Annika Sörenstam, Donna Caponi, Betsy King and Karrie Webb.[1] The lowest[a] winning score for 72 holes in relation to par is 16-under by Juli Inkster in 1999.[1] The lowest aggregate winning score for 72 holes is 272 by Sörenstam in 1996, Inkster in 1999 and Chun In-gee in 2015.[1] Conversely, the highest winning score for 72 holes in relation to par is 13-over by Murle Lindstrom in 1962.[1] The highest aggregate winning score for 72 holes is 302 by Rawls in 1953 and Kathy Cornelius in 1956, and they won both events in playoffs.[1] The oldest champion was Babe Zaharias in 1954, when she was 43 years 0 months and 6 days old.[6] The youngest champion was Inbee Park in 2008, when she was 19 years 11 months and 17 days old.[6] The U.S. Women's Open has had eight wire-to-wire champions, which are the following: Zaharias in 1954, Fay Crocker in 1955, Wright in 1958, Mary Mills in 1963, Catherine Lacoste in 1967, Berning in 1968, Donna Caponi in 1970, and JoAnne Carner in 1971.[7]

E stands for even, which means the tournament was completed in the predetermined number of strokes. The best score should always be the lowest in relation to par.[95]
