The wait is over. After 14 days of sectional qualifying and two days of practice rounds, the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links Championship is underway. The ladies will take to Old Macdonald today, the newest of the four courses that comprise Bandon Dunes Golf Resort. Old Mac, as it is affectionately called, runs along the windswept Oregon coast and will challenge the players to take the wind into consideration. Tomorrow, the ladies will head to Bandon Trails, an inland course that provides a wholly different test than Old Mac, before the field is cut to the top 64 players who will advance to match play.
