Anna Hack to Make U.S. Women’s Open Debut This Week
SAN MARTIN, Calif. – Kentucky women's golfer Anna Hack will play in the 2016 U.S. Women’s Open this week at CordeValle in San Martin, Calif. The world’s best women’s golfers will compete for the national championship on golf’s greatest stage Thursday through Sunday. Hack, who recently completed her freshman season at UK, qualified in May for the world’s premier golf championship during a sectional qualifier at Westwood Country Club in St. Louis. She is one of 25 amateurs in the 156-player field. “Throughout high school I had goals that I wanted to do,” Hack said. “I wanted to play college golf. I wanted to play in the U.S. Girls Championship, which is the junior of the U.S. Women’s Open. After I met all my goals in high school, I just came to college and started working and decided I wanted to try to qualify for some pro tournaments. I didn’t really expect this. I thought get through my four years and see what I could do in college golf and at UK, and it’s all worked out really well.”
