The other winner at U.S. Women’s Open didn’t hit a single shot
In addition to Hinako Shibuno’s triumph at the U.S. Women’s Open, a quiet winner emerged in the environmental realm. The tournament’s “No Spectators-No Cups” campaign eliminated the distribution of an estimated 1.3 million single-use plastic cups. This initiative collaborated with Plastic Free OC, a local environmental organization, to encourage attendees to bring their own reusable cups and bottles. The success of this campaign highlights the growing trend of sustainability and environmental stewardship in the sports world.
