SPORTS WIZ—JULY '10

Pittsburgh will again be under the national sports spotlight when the US Women's Open is played at Oakmont Country Club. Tickets are still available. Get up there. It'll be worth it just to walk the hallowed grounds of Oakmont and you'll see some pretty good golf too.

1. The Open, founded in 1950, is the oldest of the four women's majors. Can you name the other three?
2. The Open was last played at Oakmont in 1992. Who won?
3. Who was the runner-up that year after an 18-hole playoff?
4. The Open was also played here in 1959 but not at Oakmont. Where?
5. Who won that one?
6. Forty-nine victories in the Open went to Americans. Which two countries are tied for second with four each?
7. Who was the last American to win the Open?
8. This legendary 20th century athlete was the oldest winner of the Open at age 43. Who are we talking about?
9. Australian golf legend Peter Thomson said this about the winner of the '00 and '01 Opens: "In my view she is the best golfer, male or female, there is. She has a better swing than Tiger Woods." Who was he talking about?
