After all the bogeys, doubles and “others” through three rounds, it could be a late birdie – or an eagle – that determines the U.S. Women’s Open.
The USGA revealed ahead of Sunday’s final round that the par-4 16th at Lancaster Country Club would play to 239 yards. It has played to 340, 351 and 342 yards, respectively, through the first three rounds.

The dogleg left hole has multiple bunkers on the left-hand side, including one guarding the green. It also has another greenside bunker on the right-hand side. The Sunday pin will be 19 yards on and 8 yards to the right.
