September 16, 2003
Far Hills, N.J. - Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in North Plains, Ore., site of five national championships in the last eight years, has been selected to host the 2006 U.S. Women's Amateur, the United States Golf Association has announced. At the same time, the 2006 U.S. Senior Open, scheduled from Aug. 3-6, will move from Pumpkin Ridge because The Tradition, an annual Champions Tour event, has been scheduled close to that time in the Portland area. A new venue for the 2006 Senior Open has not yet been announced.
The Women's Amateur will be played on the Witch Hollow course and is scheduled from Aug. 7-13. Previous USGA championships held at Pumpkin Ridge were the 1996 U.S. Amateur, the 1997 and 2003 U.S. Women's Opens and the 2000 U.S. Girls' Junior and 2000 U.S. Junior Amateur.
