What to know about Erin Hills, the host golf course of the 2025 U.S. Women's Open
TOWN OF ERIN – The 80th playing of the United State Women's Open, the longest running major championship in women's golf, will be held at Erin Hills in the Town of Erin from May 29-June 1. It will be the fifth United States Golf Association national championship tournament the course has hosted since its opening in 2006, and Erin Hills is now the 16th golf course to ever host the U.S. Open (2017) and U.S. Women's Open. Advertisement The USGA will bring five more national championships to the 652-acre property through 2039. "It's a long walk," defending U.S. Women's Open champion Yuka Saso said following her third practice round in three days on May 26. "I'm trying to get myself ready, trying to have a good recovery every day. It's going to be a long day of golf, so it will be a long patience day." Here is what you need to know about one of the most recognizable golf courses in the world. More: The Making of Erin Hills: The complete story Where is Erin Hills? The golf course is in Erin, about 40 miles northwest of Milwaukee. The town has a population of 3,829 and is part of Washington County. When did Erin Hills open? The course opened for public play in 2006. How much does it cost to play Erin Hills? Erin Hills is open to the public, and it has variable rates for different times of year. From June 7-Sept. 28, the green fee is $455 per player. If you take a caddie, which is recommended, the base fee is $55 with a suggested gratuity of $75. Advertisement It is a walking-only golf course. Can I stay at Erin Hills? Yes. The course has four-room cottages and single and double-room lodges on site to encourage 'stay and play' trips. Who designed Erin Hills? The golf course was designed by architects Michael Hurdzan, Dana Fry and Ron Whitten. The trio oversaw a major renovation to the layout in 2010. Fry also helped design the 62,000-square foot, 18-hole putting course that is lit up at night for guests. Who owns Erin Hills? Andy Ziegler, who co-founded Artisan Partners, purchased the property from Delafield businessman Bob Lang in 2009 for $10.5 million. Will Erin Hills host another men's major? Maybe. But if the USGA – or the PGA of America – were to bring either the U.S. Open or a PGA Championship to the course, it won't be for a very long time. Advertisement The USGA moved to 'anchor' sites for future events, identifying East and West coast courses to host multiple U.S. Opens through 2051. The next open date is 2043. The PGA of America has not held an event at Erin Hills, but to bring its major to Wisconsin the organization would likely have to move out of its current mid-May dates. The PGA Championship used to be held in August, and Whistling Straits in the Town of Haven hosted the major in 2004 and 2010. The next open date for a PGA Championship is 2032. What championships have been held at Erin Hills? 2008 U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links (Tiffany Joh, winner) 2011 U.S. Amateur (Kelly Kraft) 2017 U.S. Open (Brooks Koepka) 2022 U.S. Mid-Amateur (Matthew McClean) What championships will be held at Erin Hills? 2025 U.S. Women's Open, May 29-June 1 2027 U.S. Amateur Four-ball 2030 U.S. Women's Amateur Four-ball 2033 U.S. Women's Amateur 2035 U.S. Amateur 2039 U.S. Junior Amateur This article originally appeared on Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: What to know about Erin Hills, site of the 2025 U.S. Women's Open

U.S. Women's Open cut tracker: Live updates on who will make the cut
TOWN OF ERIN − The second round of the 2025 U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills is underway, with some players looking to better their position to win the championship on Sunday and others working toward getting to the weekend at all by making the cut. The field of 156 players will be trimmed to the top 60 scores and ties. Lexi Thompson watches her putt for birdie miss the hole on the ninth green during the first round of the U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills. The leader's score doesn't matter for the cut. Currently, the lead is 4-under par. But that number doesn't mean much for the cut line as the top-60 scores and ties will advance to the weekend. Advertisement Professionals who don't make the cut will still earn $10,000. U.S. Women's Open cut line According to the USGA, the projected cut line for the U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills is currently 2-over par for the tournament as the morning wave of tee times finished play. 6:30 p.m. update: Defending champion Yuka Saso to miss cut With the cut line holding firm at 1-over and fewer and fewer players left to finish, two-time U.S. Women's Open winner and defending champion Yuka Saso will miss the cut after shooting sent packingOne of the tournament favorites beginning the week was Jeeno Thitikul, the world's second-ranked player, but she was 3-over after two rounds and also missed the favorites Yani Tseng (+2), amateur Asterisk Talley (+2) and Lexi Thompson (+3) also did not make the weekend. 5 p.m. update: The cut line has moved A little after 5 p.m., the cut line dropped to 1-over, per the USGA. At that point, 64 players were at that score or better. Ten players were at 2-over. Advertisement Players at 3-over or worse are now very likely done for the tournament. 4 p.m. update: Players 3-over par may be on outside looking in As the morning wave of players finished their day and some of the afternoon groups have made the turn to their back nine, and the projected cut line remains 2-over. At 4 p.m., 76 players were at 2-over while another 10 were at 3-over. It appears at this juncture those at 3-over will be slamming their trunks and heading home for the weekend. Here are some notable players at 3-over who still have a chance to sneak inside the cut line: Lydia Ko (2-over on her round through nine holes) Jeongeun Lee6 (1-under on her round through seven holes) Lexi Thompson (73-74) and Nasa Hataoka (69-78) have finished their rounds at 3-over. 2 p.m. update: The 4-overs are in trouble As of 2 p.m. CT, there were 78 golfers with a score of 2-over or better, making 2-over the projected cut. There were 90 players at 3-over or better, so a lot would have to go wrong for many players for those at 4-over to make the weekend. Advertisement Here are some notable names that finished at 3-over who will need a lot of help for the cut line to move: Lexi Thompson, +3 (73-74) Nasa Hataoka, +3 (69-78) Here are some notable names at 4-over for the tournament: Hyo Joo Kim, +4 (75-73) Rose Zhang, +4 (through one hole) Jeongeun Lee6,* +4 (through one hole) Yani Tseng, +4 (through four holes) Sung Hyun Park, +5 (through one hole) *For scoring purposes, she is called Jeongeun Lee6 to differentiate herself from other Korean LPGA golfers with that name. Morning update: Who is on the U.S. Women's Open cut line? Notable players who are around the early projected cut line of 1-over and need to make some birdies are: Allisen Corpuz, E (1:47 p.m.) Lexi Thompson, +1 (7:40 a.m.) Lydia Ko, +1 (1:25 p.m.) Who is in danger of missing the cut after 18 holes at U.S. Women's Open?

Rio Takeda in six-way tie for lead after first round of U.S. Women's Open
Former champion Kim A-lim fired six birdies in a 4-under-par 68 to headline a group of six players tied atop a log-jammed leaderboard after the first round of the 80th U.S. Women's Open on Thursday. Fellow South Korean Im Jin-hee, Rio Takeda, Americans Yealimi Noh and Angel Yin and Spanish LPGA rookie Julia Lopez Ramirez shared the lead, one stroke in front of a group of five players tied at 3-under. Another seven players were two adrift, but Kim said she wouldn't expend her energy worrying about who might be in striking distance. "Honestly, I'm not thinking about (the) leaderboard because my job is process, not result," said Kim, who won the 2020 U.S. Open in her major championship debut. "Next three days, I play the same thing as today: focus on my line, hit it. That's all." With little wind, Erin Hills, the rolling 6,829-yard par-72 layout in Erin, Wisconsin, offered perhaps its most benign face for the first round of the first U.S. Women's Open to be held there. Noh, who holed out for an eagle on the 14th hole and birdied the par-five 18th, called it a "good scoring day." But plenty of marquee names were unable to join the 33 players to shoot under par. World No. 1 Nelly Korda was playing catchup after a bogey on the third hole, finally getting to even par 72 with a birdie on the par-5 18th. Defending champion Yuka Saso's bid for a third U.S. Open title in five seasons got off to a rocky start with a 2-over-par 74. World No. 2 Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand opened with a 3-over 75 while third-ranked Lydia Ko of New Zealand — whose resume includes three major titles but no U.S. Open — posted a 1-over 73. "I think I'm happy with it," Korda said. "Obviously, I wish the ball found the bottom of the cup a little bit more. "First day of the U.S. Open, it's all about patience. I'm striking it pretty well, so hopefully I can carry that into the next couple days." While Korda struggled to get things going, Kim opened with back-to-back birdies on the 10th and 11th holes. After a bogey on No. 12, she added birdies at Nos. 16 and 17 and took the solo lead at 5-under with birdie bombs on the first and third holes before giving a stroke back on the sixth. Takeda had three birdies and one bogey on each side, while Im opened with nine straight pars and had all four of her birdies in a five-hole span from Nos. 10 to 14. Lopez Ramirez was also bogey-free, an impressive performance for the 22-year-old who came through qualifying to book her first U.S. Open appearance. "Honestly it's been my first bogey-free round since I turned pro, so it's quite exciting," said the Spaniard, whose season was disrupted by an appendectomy in March. Lopez Ramirez and Yin were among the afternoon starters, Yin shaking off an early bogey with five birdies — including three in a row at Nos. 8, 9, and 10 — before a setback at 17. In the right rough off the tee she came up short of the green, then saw her third shot spin off into a collection area, from where she managed to salvage a bogey. "This is what this course can do," said Yin, who regained a share of the lead with a birdie at the last.

US Women's Open features four-way tie for lead after first round's morning groupings
ERIN, Wis. — Jinhee Im, A Lim Kim, Yealimi Noh and Rio Takeda each carded 4-under 68 to tie for the lead after the morning groupings Thursday in the first round of the U.S. Women's Open at Erin Hills. Those scores are notable because only two players finished under par in last year's U.S. Women's Open at Lancaster Country Club in Pennsylvania, with Yuka Saso posting a winning four-round total of 4-under 276. Saso, who is seeking her third U.S. Women's Open title, posted a 74 on Thursday.
