When the U.S. Women’s Open comes to Brookline in 2045, it will mark the first time the women’s major championship will be held at The Country Club, which most recently hosted the 122nd men’s U.S. Open in June 2022.
Matthew Fitzpatrick, of England, emerged victorious in that event, claiming a one-stroke victory at the same course where he also triumphed in the U.S. Amateur nine years prior.
