HOUSTON, T.X. – One amateur will represent New York State in the 75th U.S. Women’s Open Championship at Champions Golf Club (Cypress Creek and Jackrabbit Courses), December 10-13 in Houston, Texas.

Ina Kim-Schaad of New York City earned a spot into her first U.S. Women’s Open by winning the 2019 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur at Forest Highlands in Arizona last September over fellow NYC resident Talia Campbell.

Joining her from New York is 25-year-old professional Annie Park of Levittown. This will be her fourth appearance since 2012, and was the lone New Yorker in last year’s championship. She was exempt this year through her top 75 spot in Rolex Rankings as of March 16.
