PORTLAND, Ore. — Juli Inkster went to the Standard Portland Classic to face some competition ahead of the U.S. Senior Women’s Open. The 65-year-old Hall of Famer nearly wound up setting an LPGA record.<\/p>\n

Inkster opened with a 69 and was poised to become the oldest player in LPGA history to make a 36-hole cut until consecutive bogeys on her back nine led to a 74. She was at 1-under 143 and ended up missing the weekend cut by a stroke.<\/p>\n

JoAnne Carner was 64 when she made the cut in the 2004 Chick Fil-A Charity Championship.<\/p>\n

“I frigging love JoAnne Carner,” Inkster said. “Yeah, just kind of means that I have a passion for the game. I love the game. You know, I’m really happy I played this week. Kind of when I signed up was kind of like, ‘What are you doing?’<\/p>\n

“I was free, I was out there with Hannah Green<\/a> and Stacy [Lewis] and had a great time. Just love watching the young kids swing. It’s so impressive. I think the game is in a really good shape and happy to be here.”<\/p>\n

Inkster was competing at an LPGA event for the first time since 2022. She was asked what it was like when players recognized her.<\/p>\n

“Most of them think I am JoAnne Carner,” Inkster said.<\/p>\n

She was disappointed at her finish, especially the way she struggled off the tee toward the end. Along with the two bogeys, she said she played the final two par-5s sloppily. Still, there were few regrets. The U.S. Senior Women’s Open is next week at San Diego Country Club.<\/p>\n

“I think it was really good for me to play, whether I win or lose next week, whatever,” Inkster said. “I’m glad I put myself out there.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aug 15, 2025, 10:03 PM ET PORTLAND, Ore. — Juli Inkster went to the Standard Portland Classic to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":73944,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,622,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-73943","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-golf","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73943"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73943\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
