The1946 U.S. Women's Open was a golf tournament contested from August 26 to September 1 atSpokane Country Club, north ofSpokane, Washington. It was the first edition of theU.S. Women's Open, and only one to have been played inmatch play competition. The field of 39 women was reduced to the 32-player match play field by a 36-hole qualifier on Monday and Tuesday.[1][2] Six professionals and 26 amateurs advanced to match play. The format was 18-hole matches through the quarterfinals,[5] and 36 holes for the semifinals and finals.[6]

ProfessionalsPatty Berg andBetty Jameson reached the Sunday final.[6] Jameson led by three after seven holes, but Berg evened the match and they finished the first 18 holes all square. After lunch, Berg needed only fourteen holes in the afternoon to close out the match at 5 & 4. Berg won$5,600 and Jameson $3,100, all inwar bonds.[4][7][8] This win was later recognized as Berg's sixthmajor championship. The winner's share at the U.S. Women's Open was substantially less in succeeding years and was not exceeded until1972, 26 years later.

Jameson won the title thefollowing year as a 72-holestroke play event.

Founded in 1898, Spokane Country Club was purchased by theKalispel Tribe in late 2015 and is now Kalispell Golf and Country Club.[9]
