The U.S. Women's Open national golf championship kicks off today in Bethlehem. The 156-player field includes 28 amateurs and players from 22 countries.
It's taking place on the long, narrow fairways of Saucon Valley County Club, which will play more than 6,700 yards to a par 71. The Saucon Valley course is hosting its sixth USGA event and first Women's Open.
The youngest player is 13-year-old Yueer Cindy Feng of Orlando, and reigning U.S. Girls Junior champ Alexis Thompson, 14, who in 2007 was the youngest Women's Open qualifier in history, is back for her third open.
