This week’s U.S. Women’s Open at The Olympic Club in San Francisco, Calif., will be just like any other LPGA or Symetra Tour event, except for one thing: everything.
“It’s just like a regular tour week, but everything is just that much better,” admits #TeamTaylorMadeCA athlete Rebecca Lee-Bentham. “They treat you so well for the week—you get a nice courtesy car; the player gifting is unreal and the onsite food is amazing.” “And the golf course is world class, too. There’s more fans, more activations and really just a cool vibe you only experience at a US Women’s Open.” Rebecca Lee-Bentham
Luckily for Lee-Bentham she goes into this week knowing things will be the same but different, having played in two previous US Women’s Opens before—2014 at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina and 2010 at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania.
She also has a couple more tricks up here sleeve this week to help her succeed: #TeamTaylorMade and perspective.
Last week Lee-Bentham took the week off from her regular gig as Symetra Tour player to prepare for this week at Oakmont. Part of her prep work included a day at The Kingdom with TaylorMade’s Director, Tour International Chris Trott.
“The Kingdom is about as pure as you could ever imagine,” Lee-Bentham said about her first-time experience. “Working with Trottie was the best—he’s so thorough and really makes sure you’re comfortable with the product.” Rebecca Lee-Bentham

With both the TaylorMade Tour Truck and Trottie at The Olympic Club this week, Lee-Bentham will have more opportunities to dial-in her gear onsite should she feel the need.
Anyone who’s ever watched, read or heard about a USGA national championship knows the week will be a grind. The courses are set up tough, the fields are deep, and the pressure is relentless. However, just qualifying for one of the national championships can be equally gut-wrenching as Lee-Bentham can attest to.
“Just trying to qualify for a US Women’s Open is a grind when you’re playing 36-holes in one day,” she says of her most recent experience last month in Texas. “But we actually had some bad weather, so we didn’t get the second round finished and I had to come back early the next morning to finish it off.”
“I actually had to play even more holes and make it through a play. But it was all good when I made two birdies in the playoff to qualify for Oakmont and the US Women’s Open.”
This week at Oakmont Lee-Bentham says she’s in a good mental space and feels her game is rounding into form. At the end of the day though, she’s going to play golf and enjoy the experiences.
“I’m hitting it good enough, feeling better about my putting I’m thinking more about shaping shots rather than my golf swing,” she says. “I’m really just going to enjoy the experience and count my blessings as being able to play in the US Women’s Open.” Rebecca Lee-Bentham
