"Women's Open mystery"

Besides the odd and seriously advanced timing of the 2019 U.S. Open return to Pebble, Jerry Stewart reminds us of another mystery from last week's press conference:

During the conference, the USGA's Tom O'Toole stated that discussions on the U.S. Women's Open are "only delayed because they have the chance to come back here and again conduct our 6th U.S. Open Championship at Pebble Beach in conjunction with Pebble Beach's 100th anniversary."

With that, O'Toole said the USGA and the Pebble Beach Co. have decided to move the U.S. Women's Open at Pebble Beach decision beyond and past 2019.
