Women's Open Championship Befitting of the week's theme, the 1998 US Women's Open Championship at Blackwolf Run in Kohler, Wisconsin, started and finished with a bang. Held over Independence Week, this 'firecracker of a championship' certainly exceeded all expectations. From a stellar field of players including Nancy Lopez, Annika Sorenstam, Alison Nicholas and Laura Davies, a rookie and an amateur stepped forward to provide the drama in front of a record shattering 124,500 spectators, including those attending the additional playoff day. Without question, Blackwolf Run and the 150 players that participated in the 1998 US Women's Open, have set a precedent for championship golf forever.
