On the recordJune 17, 1996
on Sunday, June 2, the 51st U.S. Women's Open Championship was concluded at Pine Needles Lodge and Golf Course in Southern Pines, NC. Annika Sorenstam repeated as champion with a record score of 272, 8 under par, on a golf course considered to be one of the toughest ever on which a U.S. Golf Association event was held. An outstanding job was done by Peggy Kirk Bell, her family, and Pine Needles, and we are justly proud of them. Mr. Speaker, not only was the 51st Women's Open the most successful in history, but the event raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the research and detection of breast cancer. I would like to congratulate Peggy Kirk Bell and her family, the U.S. Golf Association, and all those in the 2d District of North Carolina who watched or contributed to the success of the 51st Women's Open. I hope to see the same level of support when Pine Needles hosts the 56th U.S. Women's Open in the year 2001.
