Chevron and the USGA are partners for a special charitable initiative that donates $5,000 for every eagle and $10,000 for every double eagle or hole-in-one made at the U.S. Open, U.S. Women’s Open and U.S. Senior Open to Eagles for Education.
The initiative helps fund golf-related STEM (Science,Technology, Engineering and Math) enriched educational programs, with a total annual minimum commitment of $500,000.
The 68th U.S. Women’s Open, which concluded on Sunday at Sebonack Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y., featured 11 eagles, for a total U.S. Women’s Open contribution of $55,000. Below were the eagles recorded in the 2013 U.S. Women’s Open:
