Juli Inkster, 60, signs up for US Women's Open qualifier

Seven-time major champion and LPGA Hall of Famer Juli Inkster has signed up for the 36-hole US Open qualifier to be held later this month. Inkster is 60.

Inkster said she's played San Francisco's Olympic Club, site of the 3-6 June US Women's Open, about 50 times. The qualifier will be held on 26 April at Half Moon Bay Golf Links outside of San Francisco.

"I'm probably an idiot for trying, but I think I would be disappointed in myself if I didn't because it's so close to home," Inkster told Golfweek on Tuesday.

Inkster made her 2021 debut last month at the Kia Classic and will play again next week at Hugel-Air Premia L.A. Open.

Inkster, a two-time U.S. Women's Open winner, last played in an Open in 2014.

"I just decided, you know, what the heck," Inkster told Golfweek. "If I make it, I make it; if I don't, I don't."
