How this was built
What is included: every U.S. Women’s Amateur from 1895 to 2026, newest first: the champion, the club, the final result (or the winning score in 1895, the one stroke-play year), and a link to that year's page with every recorded match of its draw.
Where it comes from: the data file behind this room (us-womens-amateur/data/us-womens-amateur.json, research collected through October 20, 2026), built from the USGA U.S. Women’s Amateur record book, the USGA's year-by-year summaries and contemporary reports. Each row names its own sources on its year page.
What is not claimed: many early draws are recorded only to the quarterfinals or semifinals, and 1990–2001 brackets are not online; a round the data does not hold is left out, not filled. Values found only on Wikipedia are flagged on the year pages.
