JoAnne Carner, 82, sets records at U.S. Senior Women's Open despite missing cut
JoAnne Carner, 82, failed to reach her goal of making the cut at the U.S. Senior Women's Open, but she broke some records anyway in her two rounds at Brooklawn Country Club.
Carner shot her age and below with an 82 in Round 1 and a 79 in Round 2. She finished at 17-over 161 with the cut at 8 over.
But it was a historical two days for Carner, as she became the fifth golfer ever to shoot their age or better multiple times in a USGA championship while also being the oldest golfer ever to play in a USGA championship. The previous record was held by Jug McSpaden who played the '90 U.S. Senior Open at 81 years old.
