Players cautious, expecting big bite at U.S. Women's Open

SAN MARTIN, Calif. – There’s some mystery over what CordeValle Golf Club will present as home to this week’s U.S. Women’s Open.

“I’m quietly cautious that it won’t have more teeth than we’re seeing right now,” Hall of Famer Karrie Webb said. “A course like this can change overnight.”

The big question on players’ mind is how firm and fast the USGA will get this course once the championship begins. That could change everything.

Webb said after a practice round Tuesday that she expected the course to be getting firmer and faster than it was getting, but that the USGA actually softened it during the day with water.
