Golfing Legends at Broadmoor
Many of golf's greatest players have played Broadmoor. On the men's side Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Fred Couples have challenged the course. We've also hosted many women greats including Nancy Lopez, Babe Zaharias, and Betsy Rawls.
Broadmoor has hosted a number of nationally recognized tournaments including the Seattle Open in 1945, 1961, and 1964 which drew the sport's top players. Lord Byron Nelson won in 1945, Miller Barber won in 1961 (with a hole-in-one on #7), and Billy Casper won in 1964.
In 1952, the Women's Weathervane Tournament was held at Broadmoor with Betsy Rawls the winner. Broadmoor's own Ann Quast Sander began what became a championship laden amateur career as a teenager in this tournament. Ann went on to win the USGA's Women's Amateur Championship in 1956, 1961 and 1963. She is the only person to win that many amateur championships. She was also the runner up in 1965, 1968 and 1974. She played on six Curtis Cup teams and was the Women's Western Amateur Champion in 1956 and 1961.
In 1982, Edean Ihlanfeldt won the National Senior Women's tournament and was Washington State Women's Champion in 1961, 1962, 1963 and 1975. Jim Frost was the USGA Senior Open Low Amateur medalist 5 times, the Senior Masters Champion in 1989 and the US Senior Champion in 1990 and 1994.
Other nationally recognized tournaments hosted by Broadmoor include the Western Amateur Championship in 1954, the USGA Girl's Junior Championship in 1961, and the USGA Women's National Amateur Championships in 1974 and 1984 and the 1996 US Senior Women's Amateur tournament. In 1999, Broadmoor hosted the Men's Pac 10 Championship won by Paul Casey. He shot 60 in his final round of this event which remains the Broadmoor course record for men.
In 2007, Broadmoor hosted the Pac Ten Women's Championship which was won by UCLA''s Tiffany Joh, with ASU's Anna Nordqvist placing second. Both are LPGA professionals. During this event, Anna shot 68 which remains the Broadmoor course record for women.
