- 2026 U.S. Women’s Amateur · Championship identity
  The final recap confirms the completed championship, its ordinal, host and winner. Exact championship dates are printed in the USGA championship header and corroborated by the saved fast-facts sheet: 2026-08-04 through 2026-08-09. The recap explicitly reports Talley defeating Anna Iwanaga, 8 and 6, in the championship final. The original article contains an internally inconsistent later hole-by-hole sequence; that sequence is excluded.
