How this was built

Every value is shown as recorded in GNN's U.S. Women's Open data. A value no source confirmed is left out; nothing is estimated. Where sources disagree, the organizer's own record is used.

Data: womens-golf-majors_dataset_2026-10-20.json (GNN's women's majors research set, "master" row for this year, research dated October 20, 2026).

Also from GNN's U.S. Women's Open set (entries, runners-up round by round, values the majors set does not hold) and, for the final leaderboard, the USGA's 2026 U.S. Women's Open media guide (26USWomensOpen.pdf, results pages).
