Broadmoor awarded 2011 U.S. Women's Open

Far Hills, NJ (Sports Network) - The United States Golf Association has awarded the 2011 U.S. Women's Open to The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The championship is scheduled to be held July 7-10, 2011.
Originally designed by Donald Ross in 1918, with additions by Robert Trent Jones Sr. in 1958 and 1965, The Broadmoor will host the U.S. Women's Open for the second time.
Annika Sorenstam recorded her first professional victory at the 1995 Women's Open at the club.
The Broadmoor has also hosted the 1982 U.S. Women's Amateur, won by Juli Inkster, and the 1959 and 1967 U.S. Amateurs. Jack Nicklaus won the '59 Amateur and Bob Dickson captured the title in '67.
The 2008 U.S. Senior Open will also be staged at The Broadmoor.
This year's U.S. Women's Open begins Thursday at Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club in North Carolina -- another Donald Ross layout.
Next year's championship is set for Interlachen Golf Club in Edina, Minnesota, while the 2009 event is scheduled for Saucon Valley in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and the 2010 championship then heads to suburban Pittsburgh at Oakmont.
