It will be worth keeping an eye and ear open today, on the eve of the U.S. Women's Open, to find out if the U.S. Golf Association has an announcement to make about holding a future tournament at Sebonack Golf Club in Southampton.
Newsday reported on April 17 that the USGA and the relatively new club have been in discussions about holding a championship there. People familiar with the talks had expected an announcement about a future U;S. Women's Open to be made back in February, but nothing had been finalized. Sebonack's owner, Michael Pascucci, who also owns Channel 55, said last week that nothing still had been finalized.
But the USGA usually makes its announcements at its championships, so it wouldn't be surprising to hear today that the 2013 Women's Open will be held two doors down from the site of the 1986, 1995 and 2004 U.S. Men's Open, at Shinnecock Hills (you can see one course from the other, with National Golf Links in between).
