How top players fared in 2015 U.S. Women’s Open at Lancaster

When it comes to U.S. Women’s Open venues, there haven’t been many repeat visits in recent years. Since 1995, the only sites that have hosted multiple championships include Pine Needles (1996, 2001, 2007, 2021), Pumpkin Ridge, (1997, 2003), The Broadmoor (1995, 2011), Blackwolf Run (1998, 2012) and now Lancaster Country Club (2015, 2024).

The 2024 U.S. Women’s Open field will be finalized after the May 27 Rolex Rankings have been released but as of now, 34 players in next week’s field also teed it up in the 2015 USWO at Lancaster, including 10 of the top 20 players in the Rolex Rankings.

When the championship returned to Pine Needles in 2021, only nine players in the field had played in 2007. Similarly at Blackwolf Run in 2012, only nine players in the field had also played in 1998. Both events were held 14 years apart.

Here’s a closer look at how today’s big names fared in 2015 (with current Rolex Ranking):

One of 25 amateurs in the field at Lancaster, Boutier missed the cut in 2015. A rising senior at Duke nine years ago, Boutier received a full exemption into the championship for winning the 2015 Ladies’ British Open Amateur Championship.

Hull tied for second last year at the historic U.S. Women’s Open at Pebble Beach and has two top-10 finishes on tour this season. She was a rookie on tour in 2015 when she tied for 42nd.

As another LPGA rookie in the stacked class of 2015, Lee missed the cut her first time around at Lancaster Country Club, her only time missing the weekend in 10 appearances. Lee, one of the best ball-strikers on tour, won the 2021 U.S. Women’s Open at Pine Needles.
