Qualifier alternate Dana Fall gets final spot in 2025 U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills
Heading into the 2025 Mexico Riviera Maya Open Mayakoba, 155 of the 156 spots in the U.S. Women's Open were claimed.
The USGA was reserving the final spot to the Mexico winner, should that woman not already be in the field for Erin Hills.
When Chisato Iwai, who was already in the U.S. Women's Open, lapped the field at El Camaleon to win by six shots, that meant the U.S. Golf Association turned to its alternates list to round out the field.
The lucky name that got called? Dana Fall, 32, of Mesa, Arizona, who was the first alternate from the qualifier in San Jacinto, California.
Fall will make her debut in the U.S. Women's Open in 2025. She first joined the LPGA in 2017 and has made two starts this season. She has four wins on the Epson Tour.
