The USGA application form was posted today, which includes qualifying locations: champs.usga.org/EntryForms/womensopen_2016.pdfI definitely recommend attending one of the qualifiers if you're in the neighborhood. Lucky for me, they won't be at Galloway Nat'l again on the Monday after the Shop-Rite. Instead, they'll be at Canoe Brook CC on Tue., May 24...now on MY calendar! I've never been there before...one of Michelle Wie's failed USO qualifiers was at Canoe Brook. I don't expect to see many big names there...a lot of LPGAers will be trying to qualify the day before in Virginia.

Unless there's a stacked field that shows up to Everett....it's too far to drive. I've watched Renee Skidmore a couple of times at Cdn tour events...I think this used to be her home course.

They are playing at Goose Creek. Great value public course, especially if you like the smell of cow manure.

I'm surprised Bo Mee doesn't get an automatic exemption, being 2015 JLPGA money leader.

I'm surprised Bo Mee doesn't get an automatic exemption, being 2015 JLPGA money leader. She is exempt from qualifying, but she still has to fill out a form...she was exempt for the 2015 USWO, but chose not to apply.

Would Sung Hyun Park qualify as well? I expect to see her in the field.

Would Sung Hyun Park qualify as well? I expect to see her in the field. For sure. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_U.S._Women%27s_Open_Golf_Championship13. Top five money leaders from the 2015 Japan LPGA Tour, Korea LPGA Tour and Ladies European Tour 15. Top 50 point leaders from the current Rolex Rankings and anyone tying for 50th place as of May 6, 2016

The application deadline is Wed., May 4. A few more non-LPGAers are officially in the mix:
Ayaka Matsumori Kyoka Matsumori (the less-accomplished younger sister of Ayaka) Jung Min Lee Andrea Lee Amy Boulden Yoon Ji Cho Gwladys Nocera Sua Kim (I assume this is the one that played the LPGA a little bit many years ago) Sung Hyun Park Jeong Eun Lee (there's no digit after her name...I'm guessing this is #5, who flopped at LPGA Q-School last December) Teresa Lu Ah Rheum Hwang Stephanie Na Lucy Li Beth Allen Nicole Broch Larsen Klara Spilkova Ai Suzuki

Did Lucy Li have her 15 minutes of fame back in 2014...she's now #1920 ranked....yes I believe she's only 13 or 14....but ya might think if she was destined for stardom she'd at least be 500 ranked or better. Latanna Stone also had some prior fame...but we hear little of her nowadays.
I wonder if Beth Allen will petition new USGA prez, Diana Murphy, to get an exemption straight into the USWO cause she's red haired and gay? Hopefully she does not try to qualify in North Carolina.

Beth will be welcomed in North Carolina as long as she doesn't try and use a bathroom.

I've been debating whether to take the day off to see the Everett qualifying. Wouldn't look forward to the drive though.

Attend if there are some interesting participants....Muni He??....lol.....there might be some Canucks from the Vancouver area entered.
